Interesting how multiple Wakefield stories include warning potential tenants of a bad rental.

Landlords are Cosmic Horror Parasites.

Since I first heard you read this story eleven years ago I’ve had a couple of kids and I cannot believe how relieved I am that the kid made it out of this story alive!

And a little bit psychic protagonists.

Having had the chance to read this since my original listen, it is absolutely a breath of fresh air to see a believably loving g family making 100% reasonable choices as things come to light. I actually like how abruptly it wraps. It's sort of like one of those black people in horror movies routines. The moment they acknowledge something is going on, see something, and see the child threatened they nope the heck out. And They Live!

The Horror genre in general is always in need of people making reasonable decisions! If someone is rational in a story and bad things still happen to them I accept it, but so often the very real human reaction of “noping the heck out”, is sorely lacking.

This is so weird: I know I’ve read every dang story and novel you’ve covered. Hell, I even tracked down a copy of Strange Eons back when it wasn’t easy to find. But I have zero memory of this story or episode. Was bound to happen eventually, but it’s frankly unsettling. Like I’m getting a little bit of Mandela effect over here! Have this episode and I always been in the same universe? Have I crossed over? What is reality? DID DRACULA EVEN MAKE THE CHICKEN?

I also don't remember this story at all, which is a bit of a surprise given how good it is. This Wakefield month has caused me to go buy several of his collections.

I have listened to a few stories or novels covered here through audiobook, but other than Lovecraft this is the only story covered on here that I have gone out of my way to read. I remember when I first listened to this episode and I remember where I read the story as well. It really got to me and even in the middle of the day at the job I was at it still creeped me out. I love this story and I was glad to see it chosen as the classic episode for this month.

Enjoying Wake-tober! With the Christmas season coming up, maybe consider his story "Lucky's Grove", which will be published as part of Canadian illustrator Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories next week. Definitely worth a read during the festive season.

Old Gregg approves this comment.

I first read this one forty years ago, in a collection found on the shelves of my primary school library (which had a surprisingly extensive supernatural & sci-fi selection, thanks to the terrific school librarian, Mrs Jones). The story really spooked me and stuck in my mind - but the author and title were a blank until you guys did this reading in 2014! Wonderful to find it hadn't lost any effect, still a great, creepy piece of writing. (Love that moment with the entity turning its head to reveal the river-slime face.) Always meant to thank you for getting Wakefield on my radar as an adult.

You won't let the green monkey get me will you Lackey?

I first came across this one in 83, when I bought a collection called “Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural” from the Enoch Pratt library in Baltimore. I loved it, but no one else seemed to know it. The nice thing about the collection was the Edward Gorey illustrations for each story. I will see if I can attach them
