About this listen

When it comes to 19th-century fantasy and horror literature, you will struggle to find a name bigger than Scotland’s Robert Louis Stevenson.

Set in mid-15th-century Paris, the tale centers around Francis Villon, a man with poetic sensibilities, long since driven to crime out of desperation and poverty. After fleeing from a tavern along with all other patrons after a grisly murder is committed on premises, Villon desperately visits a series of one-time acquaintances hoping to find shelter from the cold weather and certain death. Along the way, Villon ruminates on morality, honor, and poverty.

"A Lodging for the Night" is one of the most beautifully crafted and potent of Stevenson’s short stories.
