Don't go sneaking about in other people's rooms. You never know what you might find. While staying at a Suffolk inn near the coast, a lone traveller becomes curious...and makes a terrifying discovery!



This is a recording of "Rats" by M.R. James, narrated and produced by Jasper L' Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast.

****
NOTE:
While I work on some longer stories (involving, as you might anticipate, longer production times) I thought it prudent to put out a sort of holding episode - not to diminish this story, which is one of its author's finer later works, but to excuse its brevity. Even the narrator calls it an "ill-proportioned" tale! Enjoy...
