I was introduced to this wonderful story by Mark Gatiss reading but i particularly like this version which is very well read

Mrs Amworth is in my top 5 E F Benson stories so I can’t wait.

Fun shades of Mapp and Lucia showing here. Very entertaining! Thank you.

I've heard or read this wonderful story many times. Mr Crowest's rendition is absolutely top drawer & illuminated the skillful words in all their glory. Always one of my faves.

What better on a Saturday evening than the inimitable Mr Crowest regaling us with another of his singular classics…….bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's women like Amworth that give we widows a bad name. Not all of us are vampires, after all. [wink] It does seem a pity, though, that the one person who brought some life into that sleepy little town was undead. And is it just me or does her name seem very fitting: Amworth -- a.m. worth - as though she were indeed redeemed in the morning.

Your reading is absolutely wonderful! I have been truly enjoying listening to your playlist.

One of my favourites

Thanks for a wonderful narration of what is my favorite vampire story!

Just found your channel and am overjoyed. I am looking forward to many hours of enjoyable listening!

Yay!! A new upload by Richard, what a perfect mid weekend treat! Thank you so much, you've no idea how lovely this is to see. I do so love EF Benson, and I believe you just might be, dare I say it, the best man for the job!

Who would have thought a vampire story would hold one with such suspense! brilliant. I don't why your readings are so entrancing, but they are. . . can't wait til the next one! :) *** ***. just a note to you. another reader (BitesizedAudio) had a whole lot of trouble with his readings from YT, even though it was he who was reading, they claimed plagiarism and wouldn't let up. we told him to get In touch with HorrorBabble, alias Ian, or listen to his videos (and I mentioned to also check out Edward French). It turns out that if you have a short introduction about the author and/or something about the story, like when it published and where, that makes it ok, and you can read your stories without a problem. nobody knows why this makes a difference!!?? 🙄 Hope this will help, if they ever accuse you of plagiarism. :) 🌺

Yaayyy! 1000 subs! Congratulations, Richard you've more than earned it and deserve all you'll receive going forward! (I did spread the word around a bit last night, hope it helped!)

That was so enjoyable... you're a very talented reader/interpreter of Benson's work! I'm telling friends to visit and subscribe; I hope that's helpful in your efforts. Best regards.

You can't beat a bit of Benson 👌

I, too, am familiar with this story. Well done, Sir! Thank you!

Great reading! I love this story!

Though a vampire I liked Mrs. Amworth, and indeed find myself half rooting for her whenever I hear the tale of her discovery and eventual destruction. The narrator and his neighbor seem stodgy and humorless to me by comparison, and I think I would like the story better had someone mourned the vibrant person she/it had been, regardless of species..

Wait a minute, 999 subscribers??! Let me see if I can do something about that...

It would be wonderful if you could do ‘The Travelling Grave’ by L P Hartley - you’re the best reader on KZfaq 👏🏽

Why have you stopped reading?😢

Love the story, love the narration, hate the sonoplasty.

Thank you Mr Crowest for this. Glad you're back. You are without a doubt the best reader/teller of tales/narrator I've ever heard on youtube. And with Ed French, classic ghost stories Tony Walker, Huw Carr Black Dog Chronicles, and encrypted horror Jasper L'estrange on youtube that's saying something in my book. Please keep them coming. I love these stories.
