Welcome to The Devil's Vault, a monthly podcast with classic horror stories. Please join me as I wander through the devil's vault, where I keep my favourite horror stories. My name is Blake Milton, author of the Gothic novel 'Seance'. In this podcast, I will read you a classic horror story every last day of the month. For more information visit blakemilton.co.uk.

It is often said that two things are unavoidable: death and taxes. Certainly the latter is a common thorn in adult life, but as to the former it seems that for many people it is merely a hiccup in life’s journey. A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of heaven’s largesse, a reward for faith and the obligations of religion. Of course for those not so fortunate an altogether different experience was prepared for them: hell. Its nightmare visions are so terrifying, conjured up by Dante, Milton, Blake, Baudelaire and many others.
