"Bad Company" by Walter de la Mare

EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast

A man becomes intrigued by the sinister old man he meets on the London Underground. Despite his misgivings, he feels strangely compelled to follow him.

This is an original audio presentation of "Bad Company" by Walter de la Mare. It has been performed, recorded, and mixed by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast.

NOTE: I am informed that I mispronounced the word "enveloped" near the beginning of this one. When I checked back, it was true (to my chagrin). I am a humble amateur and every 500,000 words or so I make a mistake and it slips through in the editing process. I hope you can forgive me and that it won't affect your listening experience too greatly.
