Currently on the phonograph: "The House Carpenter" (played below by Kelly Joe Phelps), a classic American folk ballad about the dangers of absconding with another man.*

It's better known across the pond as "The Demon Lover" which inspired wonderful #GothicHorror stories (and collections) by both Shirley Jackson and Elizabeth Bowen.

*In British versions the man is, of course, of supernatural origin. Not so in America.

Final Scene Threads 👕 Horror Mar 20

The Bride (2025/26) 🧧👰
