The SQUAW by Bram Stoker 

Awww. THANKS, @joannewatts9892. We both needed this little detour into danger. Be safe and well! E.E.F.

THANKS @martywood8543. E.E.F.

It's certainly not a flattering portrait of an American, but he's written very vividly, and serves the Grand Guignol spirit of the piece. E.E.F.

Hi Isa- I re-release stories for a variety of reasons. The number one reason is that these are "Best of" stories that I'd like to give an "encore' to and perhaps attract new listeners to The FICTION FANTASTIQUE CHANNEL. Next reason: these audios were originally crudely engineered, and I've since learned how to better edit and process the sound. I'm also increasingly dogged by "Copyright Issues." Usually, it's the music I use. I originally included the instrumental "Apache" at the end of The Squaw and thought I was very clever. It nicely complimented the grim story. I included a music credit with info on how listeners could find it if they wanted to purchase it online, but the music publishers threatened to burn down my channel if I didn't cut it out of the video. So, PRESTO CHANGE-O, the melody is gone, but the audio lingers on.....E.E.F.

INDEED! Also some passages in Stoker's Dracula are so tastelessly gruesome - shocking even - he's still readable over a hundred years later. E.E.F.
