VALENTINE'S SPECIAL

***IMPORTANT NOTE: This episode contains dark humour. It also contains brief and very occasional mild swearing. If you're offended by the words "g-dd-mn", "bl--dy", "p*ss*d" or "s**t" (used once apiece) and you think hearing them will upset you or ruin your day, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN. This is your warning. I've had a bit of grief for this on YouTube and it's not my intention to upset anyone, so just give this one a miss. No harm done. I won't be at all offended. It's just meant to be a bit of fun and I rushed to finish it and get it out on time for Valentine's weekend***

ABOUT THE EPISODE

Three macabre interconnected stories for Valentine’s Day: a caller to a radio station has a strange story to tell; a late-night conversation between a driver and his passenger; a May-December romance runs into problems.

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror.
