Two sisters play a spooky prank on their rationalist male neighbour...but in the process have they awakened something more sinister?
This is an audio presentation of "With and Without Buttons" (1938) by Mary Butts. It is narrated and produced by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast. I hope you enjoy this "weird" creepy/funny, mildly subversive and magical story.
