Protecting Project Pulp No. 11: Ben Ames Williams

September 25, 2012 by Frederic Himebaugh

Main Fiction: “A Voice From the Fog” by Ben Ames Williams, first published in All-Story Magazine, September 15 1917.

Narrator: Nobilis Reed. (Warning: this site contains adult themes and subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.)

There came a sort of a gurgle—Rimbel said that gurgling was the worst—and then Radimon again:

“Help—Gipper!”

“And then nothing more for a while—and then the noise of a man swimming, and a paddle rattling in a canoe, and after a bit the noise of a man paddling away.”

Comments

  1. Nice! On par with some of Algernon Blackwood’s ghost stories.

  2. The story certainly got the ghost but it lacks of a ghostly atmosphere.
