"A: B: O" by Walter de la Mare

Two friends with shared interest in antiquities believe they have discovered buried treasure. But what they unearth was meant to stay buried…This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “A:B:O” by Walter de la Mare (writing as Walter Ramal), 1896.NOTE: Some of you may have noticed that the story "The Smoking Leg" appeared in your feed and then disappeared before you had a chance to listen to it. Basically, Spotify deleted it from all platforms over a specious copyright claim for one of the pieces of music I used. I will get to re-editing it and re-uploading at some point.
