About this listen

 In The Worshipper of the Image, Richard Le Gallienne unfolds a haunting tale first published in 1900. The story follows Antony, a poet who stumbles upon a mysterious death mask in an antique shop that strikingly resembles his wife, Beatrice. Named Silencieux, this eerie artifact soon becomes an obsession, consuming Antonys thoughts and driving a wedge between him and his once-beloved family. As his fixation deepens, Antony spirals into madness, willing to sacrifice everything—including his own soul—to be reunited with the haunting visage of Silencieux. - Summary by Holly McGuire
