Season 5 of Wolftrax got off to a late start this year. For Halloween, I have recorded my own reading of a short story by H. H. Munro, who wrote under the pen name Saki. His stories mostly poke light hearted fun at the English upper middle class in the decades before World War I. This story, however, is very spooky. It is, in my humble opinion, one of the most perfect horror stories I have ever read. I will probably add some commentary later, but for now, enjoy Sredni Vashtar.
