Episode 26: The Triumph of Death by H R Wakefield----------------------------------------------------------------- In a sombre Elizabethan pile above Lake Windermere, the air is thick with more than just decay. Miss Prunella Pendleham, the last of a long line, watches her companion, Amelia, wither into a gaunt and listless shadow.Amelia is the sixth companion; three before her never left these walls alive. Amidst the rattle of mountain rain, thin, high screams echo through the stone-vaulted halls. Is it the onset of madness, or is the house reclaiming a brutal, hidden history? As the light fades, the only certainty is the tightening grip of a terror that will have its say.The Triumph of Death first appeared in The Arkham Sampler, Autumn 1949.It was later collected in Strayers from Sheol (1961) and The Best Ghost Stories of H. Russell Wakefield (1978).H. Russell Wakefield (1888--1964) was an English writer best known for his unsettling ghost stories.---------------------------------------------------------------- Classic Ghost Stories presents: A Story a Day ’til Halloween.
