"Fish Head" by Irvin S. Cobb

EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast

In Reelfoot Lake, a backwoods bayou of the American South, lives an outcast freak – a lonely swamp dweller whose fishy features have earned him a strange moniker. Mystery and local superstition surround him, but when the Baxter brothers seek their revenge will they uncover the truth about the one they call…”Fish Head”. This original recording is an audio presentation (with sound effects and music) by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Fish Head” by Irvin S. Cobb (1913). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a future episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Honest! Next one coming up soon!) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7JYpOrSDoCfvPbjBn6DZGIXDlK-eOzpR). CREATOR’S NOTE: My recordings contain a mixture of audio narration, sound effects, and music because that’s what I enjoy making and what I personally like to listen to. I also try and do accents and different voices to differentiate between the characters as I think it makes for a more enjoyable listen. Lots of my listeners and subscribers agree. If you don’t, consider yourself lucky to be on a website that has hundreds and thousands of other storytellers to listen to. I choose stories based on my extensive reading of vintage horror, ghost, and weird stories, and based on my personal taste. If you don’t like this one, you might like the next one.
