Tales for Adults - Hunted Down

Tales for Adults - Hunted Down

Author: Joe Fireside January 13, 2021 Duration: 56:08

Tonight, we have a story about a strange untrustworthy man, and the life insurance officer whom is his adversary. A story about plots and counter plots, of vendettas and shadows, of brandy and middle partings.


Presenting "Hunted Down" written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860. An author more widely known for "A Christmas Carol" or "Great Expectations", tonight we have a much more insidious and dark tale. As such, I would advise this tale is strictly for the older listener, anyone above the age of 15.
