Original Publication: 1923 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series: Timeless Terrors 
Number: 114 
Description: 
The Face is a chilling tale of art, obsession, and supernatural retribution. 
The story follows a talented but morally corrupt artist whose life is marked by selfishness and cruelty. When he encounters a subject whose presence unsettles him in ways he cannot explain, his carefully constructed world begins to fracture. What emerges is a haunting exploration of conscience, guilt, and the possibility that some wrongs leave marks deeper than any brushstroke can conceal. 
With mounting psychological tension and an atmosphere thick with unease, E. F. Benson crafts a story where horror arises not from distant cosmic forces, but from the inescapable reckoning of one’s own soul. Subtle, elegant, and deeply disturbing, The Face stands as a masterful example of Benson’s refined supernatural fiction. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the quiet dread and moral intensity that define Benson’s distinctive brand of ghostly horror.
