A Visitor

De: John Pelletier

Narrado por: Sean Crisden

Some mysteries should not be solved.

One night in 1837, Dr. Charles Barrett hosts an intimate after dinner party with close friends in the study of his Victorian mansion. As the evening grows late, talk turns to tales of the unexplained, and Dr. Barrett recounts a strange tale about a man who visited his childhood home. A man whose strangeness has bedeviled the good doctor over the years, leading both men's paths to converge again in an unexpected way.

Pretty cool short story.

I really dug this short story of a strange visitor showing up at the home of one of the main characters, and how that visitor shaped his life.

I don't want to go into too much detail, as this is only an hour listen and I don't want to get into spoiler territory, but suffice it to say, author John Pelletier does a great job laying out all the pieces before things get bonkers.

Sean Crisden's narration perfectly complements Pelletier's tale. I almost felt like I was in the same room as the characters as the tale was being told.

This is my introduction to Pelletier's work, and it's a good one. Looking forward to reading more.
