Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) is probably best remembered today for his social satires, the Mapp and Lucia stories. However in his lifetime he was perhaps more famous for his many "spook stories" (as he liked to call them) which he composed regularly for publication in periodicals – usually Hutchinson's or Pearson's magazines – from the mid 1890s through to the 1930s. He was a friend and contemporary of M. R. James, the most celebrated of 20th century ghost story authors, and was a member of the Chitchat Club, the Cambridge University literary society where James would read aloud his ghost stories to a select few. As a writer of ghost stories, E. F. Benson's own output includes an unusually wide and adventurous range of styles and themes, encompassing stories of vampires, homicidal spirits, monstrous creatures, as well as satires of charlatan mediums who became so fashionable in the 1920s. The Confession of Charles Linkworth first appeared in the early 20th century weekly publication 'The Cavalier and the Scrap Book', on 13th January 1912. It was published in book form later that year in Benson's first collection of ghost stories, "The Room in the Tower and Other Stories'. Recording © Bitesized Audio 2020.
