    TFTV-14-The-Red-Headed-League-Part-2-by-Arthur-Conan-Doyle-DSB-Audio-Full-Audiobook-Story-David-Sweeney-Bear

    A Nefarious Plot is Averted, in... ---Tales From The Vault, Episode 14--- [Part 2] Having heard the bizarre account of Mr Jabez Wilson, Holmes and Watson head to the pawnbroker's premises to investigate. There, Holmes gathers enough information to feel he has solved the mystery and to predict a crime about to be committed. Holmes and Watson, along with Police Inspector Jones and a Mr. Merryweather secrete themselves in an underground vault awaiting the emergence of the perpetrators and hopefully to foil their plans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Considering the many modernisations and re-interpretations of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, it was extremely rewarding to read the original text as it was intended.

    A Sherlock Holmes Detective Mystery... ---Tales From The Vault, Episode 13--- [Part 1] A pawnbroker, the red-headed Jabez Wilson, approaches Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson with a mystery to be solved. He recounts his tale of having been recruited by an obscure organisation called "The Red-Headed League" and employed by them on account of his fiery red hair. However, he is much dismayed when the league, along with his employment, suddenly disappears. Having listened to the facts, Sherlock Holmes is convinced that a much more sinister plot is at play than might at first sight appear. Link to Part 2: https://youtu.be/fzx6NWKuDJY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a great pleasure to read this classic Holmes mystery. Of all the many portrayals of Holmes and Watson, my personal favourite is the combination of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

    TFTV 12 ¦ "The Late Mr. Elvesham" by H G Wells ¦ DSB Full Audiobook Horror Short Story

    A Young Man Trapped In An Old Man's Body, in... ---Tales From The Vault, Episode 12--- An impoverished young medical student, Edward Eden, is visited by the wealthy and elderly Mr. Elvesham with an offer to make Eden his heir - but the offer comes with certain conditions that the younger man couldn't have imagined! This tale featured in the 2016 Sky Arts TV series "The Nightmare Worlds of H G Wells", albeit in somewhat adapted form, starring the great Michael Gambon. In a bizarre case of quirky casting, Ray Winston played the part of the narrator of the series: H G Wells himself! Introducing each story in the series, I never imagined H. G. as "a bit of a bruiser"! I really enjoyed reading from one of the myriad H G Wells stories, possibly one of his lesser-known works.

    TFTV 11 ¦ "The Cave Of The Echoes" by H P Blavatsky ¦ DSB Full Audiobook Horror Short Story

    Phantom Echoes In This Nightmare Tale... ---Tales From The Vault Episode 11--- Mr. Izvertzoff, a wealthy Russian landowner, mysteriously disappears while visiting a cavern on his land - the so-called "Cave Of The Echoes". He is presumed to have been murdered and the finger of blame is pointed firmly at his man-servant, Ivan. Many years after the tragedy, an enigmatic Hungarian traveler and a mysterious Tibetan shaman conduct an eerie ceremony within the cave to determine the true identity of the murderer. Mesmerized by the atmosphere of the place and the ghostly echoes which reverberate through the cave, the onlookers are shocked to learn the truth of what happened to Mr Izvertzoff. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was a Russian philosopher and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. While best known for her occult knowledge and the book "The Secret Doctrine", she also wrote a collection of fictional short stories, collected in a volume called "Nightmare Tales", first published in 1907. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and producing this story, and look forward to reading a few more of HPB's Nightmare Tales very soon.
