”The Gorgon’s Head” by Gertrude Bacon

Captain Brander's reputation as a teller of tall tales precedes him, but is the strange account he relates to his passenger, Miss Baker, of what befell him and a shipmate on the island of Zante mere fabrication...or the unvarnished truth?

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast. "The Gorgon's Head" by Gertrude Bacon (aka Dorothy Baker) (1899).
