About this listen

A mournful cry, a well that echoes the past, and an invitation to remember the forgotten.

In Wailing Well, M. R. James crafts a haunting tale of mystery and spectral terror, where the quiet of a rural landscape is disturbed by a cry from the past—an eerie wail that resonates through time.

As James unearths the secrets buried in the forgotten well, he masterfully builds a sense of creeping dread and inevitable doom, reminding us that some things—once heard—can never be forgotten. With his signature style of subtle horror, James plunges the listener into a chilling world where even silence can be deadly.
