"The Meerschaum Pipe" by L.A. Lewis
A widower retires to a country house that was once occupied by a serial killer. His hopes of a quiet life are quickly dashed when there is another murder in the village. Is a copycat on the prowl?
This is an audio presentation of "The Meerschaum Pipe" by L.A. Lewis, first published in 'Tales of the Grotesque: A Collection of Uneasy Tales' (Philip Alan), 1934. Out of print for a long time, the collection is now available to buy in paperback from Shadow Publishing (https://www.shadowpublishing.net/product-page/tales-of-the-grotesque-a-collection-of-uneasy-tales)
