Ex Tenebris (Audio)
By Russell Kirk
Foreword by Vigen Guroian
(2008)
Russell Kirk’s ghostly tale is narrated by David Schock in this 67-minute CD audio that helps us think about tradition and the role of governments and neighbors.
“Ex Tenebris,” a Trinity Forum Reading, features a ghostly tale by the social critic Russell Kirk with a Foreword by Vigen Guroian on the importance of place.
When Mrs. Oliver retires to a cottage in the abandoned village of her childhood, she is harassed by the local planning officer until someone comes from the shadows to intervene. This story will amuse you—and perhaps cause the hairs to rise on the back of your neck—and leave you thinking about architecture, tradition, what human beings really want, and how best to help our neighbors.
This audio edition is narrated by David Schock, a filmmaker who earned his doctorate in ghost stories under the direction of Russell Kirk. It is packaged in a handsome CD-sized case designed for safe shipping.
