Two stories about lonely travellers seeking shelter…who find more than they bargained for. In “The Lover of the Dead”, a stranded motorist uncovers a grisly secret, while “The Witch Finder” sees the titular character’s past catch up with him. These stories are from the grotesque imagination of Frederick Cowles and taken from his book “The Night Wind Howls”.This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE LOVER OF THE DEAD” and “THE WITCH FINDER” by Frederick Cowles (1938).About the story:"The Lover of the Dead” and “The Witch Finder” by Frederick Cowles.

"The Underbody" by Alison V. Harding
Nothing will ever be the same again for a country doctor when his son finds something deeply disturbing buried in the ground.This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE UNDERBODY” by Alison V.
