Today’s program is part of the larger anthology “For the Blood Is the Life, and Other Creepy Tales”, a collection of classic spooky stories curated by me, and narrated by the Utah Audiobook Narrators. We each took a story and ran with it! So if you like today’s tale, follow the link in the show notes to pick up your copy of this collection of creepy classics – narrated by my Utah Audiobook Narrator friends.  

Today’s story is taken from Chapter 31 from Life on the Mississippi. Twain was fascinated with the new science that came from fingerprinting, and also used it as a plot device in his novella Pudd’nhead Wilson.
