About the work

LibriVox recording of After Dark by Wilkie Collins. Read in English by Anna Simon; acousticwave; dg73; Molly Craig; Lilith Branda; Oliver Walton; deongines; Warren Kati; Silmaryllis; jenno; ToddHW William Kerby is in danger of losing his sight, which would hit him especially hard as he is a painter. Only rest can preserve it, but a man must eat, and so he and his wife Leah look for other ways to generate a small income. Having travelled a good deal and having heard all kinds of stories on those journeys, William dictates six short stories to his wife, hoping that publishing a book might tide them over.. - Summary by Carolin
