THE STREET OF THE EYE
SLEEPING BEAUTY
THE ENCHANTED MOMENT
THE MOLE
A SENSITIVE MAN
MISS LETTICE
WEDDING-DAY
DEARTH’S FARM
THE GHOST
A modestly sized collection opens with a playful debate on how ghost stories test our capacity to judge the unseen, setting a tone that is both witty and thoughtful. The narrator’s conversational style draws the listener into a circle of friends sharing oddities, where philosophy and the supernatural mingle without pretension. From the very first tale, the “Street of the Eye” hints at hidden lives moving just beyond ordinary perception, inviting curiosity rather than outright fright.
The remaining nine stories wander through familiar yet subtly uncanny ground—a mole that seems to know more than it should, a “Sensitive Man” whose empathy borders on the uncanny, and a brief encounter with a “White Horse” that suggests an unseen world brushing against daily life. Each piece balances gentle humor with a quiet, often eerie atmosphere, leaving you wondering how much of what we see is only the surface. The collection promises a quiet, reflective listening experience that rewards those who enjoy a blend of the ordinary and the oddly mysterious.
