Episode Description

This week we revisit "A Midnight Visitor" by John Kendrick Bangs . One night, a stressed and overworked man is overcome with fear after a ghostly encounter in his home.

Bangs was an American author and the creator of the Bangsian fantasy genre, where the use of the afterlife is the main setting in which its characters, act and interact.

The short story was published in 1894 as part of the anthology The Water Ghost and Others and is in the public domain.
