"The Magic Shop" by H.G. Wells

EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast

A boy and his father pay a visit to a tiny shop in the heart of London, one that sells magic tricks and curiosities – and promises “genuine magic”. The boy is at once entranced…but the father becomes increasingly unnerved by both the shop and its mysterious owner… This original recording is an audio presentation (with sound effects and music) by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Magic Shop” by H.G. Wells (1903). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a future episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Honest! Next one coming up soon! I promise!) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7JYpOrSDoCfvPbjBn6DZGIXDlK-eOzpR). CREATOR’S NOTE: My recordings contain a mixture of audio narration, sound effects, and music because that’s what I enjoy making and what I personally like to listen to. I also try and do accents and different voices to differentiate between the characters as I think it makes for a more enjoyable listen. Lots of my listeners and subscribers agree. If you don’t, consider yourself lucky to be on a website that has hundreds and thousands of other storytellers to listen to. I choose stories based on my extensive reading of vintage horror, ghost, and weird stories, and based on my personal taste.
