A widower retires to a country house that was once occupied by a serial killer. His hopes of a quiet life are quickly dashed when there is another murder in the village. Is a copycat on the prowl? This is an audio presentation of "The Meerschaum Pipe" by L.A. Lewis, first published in 'Tales of the Grotesque: A Collection of Uneasy Tales' (Philip Alan), 1934. Out of print for a long time, the collection is now available to buy in paperback from Shadow Publishing (https://www.shadowpublishing.net/product-page/tales-of-the-grotesque-a-collection-of-uneasy-tales) If you'd like to learn more about the author, may I suggest the following blogs: http://desturmobed.blogspot.com/2016/01/la-lewis.html https://themenaceofobjects.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/l-a-lewis-tales-of-the-grotesque/ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Please support my work...
