Episode 4 - The White Cat Of Drumgunniol

Here at Back of the Bookshelf, we love a good ghost story, so for this week's episode we are giving you exactly that, courtesy of J. Sheridan Le Fanu, a true master of the genre. Le Fanu is most famous for his classic vampire novel, 'Carmilla', but in line with our mission statement, the story we have chosen is rather more obscure. It is called 'The White Cat of Drumgunniol' and was originally published in a weekly journal called 'All Year Round' on 2nd April 1870. It's about a family in 19th century rural Ireland who are afflicted by a strange curse and is everything a ghost story should be - scary, atmospheric and a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy what we've done with it. We hope you enjoy what we've done with it. As always, the music was composed and performed by Kevin MacLeod and the narration was by C.J. Carter-Stephenson. Tune in next month for another classic story.
