"Lord Mountdrago" by Somerset Maugham

 

In this macabre and blackly comic short story, Lord Mountdrago, Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the British government, reluctantly seeks the help of a psychoanalyst.  It seems he is being stalked by a political rival in a series of strange dreams.

This is an original audio presentation of "Lord Mountdrago" by Jasper L'Estrange. It has been performed, recorded, and mixed by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast.
