Quiet Terrors is a candlelit collection of three Edwardian ghost stories by E. F. Benson.
In these tales, horror does not announce itself loudly.
It waits — in familiar rooms, polite conversations, and traditions that continue long after their purpose has been forgotten.
This episode of The Old Ink Society features:
(0:00) Intro
(01:00) The Room in the Tower — a dream that returns, night after night, until it can no longer be ignored
(38:42) Mrs. Amworth — a visitor who grows far too comfortable in a quiet household
(1:22:55) Gavon’s Eve — a village gathering bound by silence and unspoken understanding
Originally written in the early twentieth century, these stories reflect an Edwardian understanding of fear — restrained, domestic, and deeply psychological. There are no sudden shocks here, only a slow accumulation of unease, intended to be listened to by lamplight, or with eyes gently closed.
This is a sleep-friendly audiobook designed for late-night listening, rest, and quiet companionship.
