About this listen

A female passenger travelling in a by rail is intrigued and increasingly frightened by one of her companions in the compartment. Entirely covered by a cloak, are their intentions nefarious, supernatural or entirely innocent?

'Under the Cloak' is taken from the second volume of the Victorian Anthologies Horror series, featuring short stories by classic writers of the spooky, the scary and the supernatural. Guaranteed to give you the shivers, each collection includes familiar and loved creepy tales as well as those less well-known. With music by Benedict Edwards.

I enjoyed this story. It was beautifully read in clear, sympathetic tones with just the right amount of suspense. I hadn't anticipated the denouement which made it all the more fun. An easy, enjoyable listen which wasn't too frightening!

Unexpected end to a story!
