A family secret, an ominous curse, and a mysterious cabinet equals a surplusage of horrors. No wonder the writer withheld their name.

And thanks for your support!  Today begins a three-part series of The Closed Cabinet, by Anonymous. There are so many wonderful elements in today’s story – a bespelled cabinet built by an ancient witch, a family curse, and beautiful prose tying it all together. But the majority of this story is told from the point of view of a 19-year-old woman. And so I reached out to Nancy Peterson, the award-winning narrator and Tik-Tok sensation, and we decided to collaborate again. So the parts of the story that are told from the heroine, Evie’s point of view will be read by Nancy, and I’ll be chiming in when the men speak. I thought this approach would be best for the way this story is written. Hopefully it works okay. Just trying something new.  And if you’re a fan of Nancy’s, like I am, she is in the process of recording the Anne of Green Gables series of books, by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Links to her recordings can be found in the show notes. I’ve seen her perform some of it live – it’s amazing.  And now, The Closed Cabinet, Part 1 of 3, by Anonymous. Narrated with Nancy Peterson.  Follow these links to see Nancy Peterson’s TikTok channel and Anne of Green Gables series:  https://www.tiktok.com/@nancy_peterson_narrates https://tinyurl.com/54ncrx9s Follow this link to become a monthly supporter:    Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:   Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:   Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:   Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:   Follow this link to follow us on TikTok:
