Episode 82: "W.S." by L.P. Hartley

 

A novelist begins receiving mysterious postcards from an anonymous admirer who goes by the initials W.S. But something about the tone of these missives starts to play on his mind. Who is W.S. and what is their connection to author?

This is an audio presentation of "W.S." by L.P. Hartey (1952). First published in The Second Ghost Book.
