Today\\u2019s episode is by the prolific Gertrude Atherton. We heard another of her stories earlier in March \\u2013 The Dead and the Countess.

Today\\u2019s story, The Bell and the Fog, is a well-crafted short story with some gothic elements. It takes place on a large English estate, there are hints of darkness and the occult here and there, but the style of the writing, and the subtlety of the strong women is what I particularly enjoyed.
