About this listen

On the eve of All Hallows' Day, in a secluded village in the heart of France, the veil between the living and the dead begins to blur. "The Mass of Shadows" is a haunting tale that invites you into a world where ancient traditions and spectral apparitions converge in a chilling dance of the macabre.

Mademoiselle Jeanne, drawn by curiosity and the allure of mystery, attends a midnight Mass at the village church, said to be haunted by spirits of the departed. As the night unfolds, the air grows thick with a palpable sense of dread, and the shadows of the past emerge to claim their presence among the living.

In the dim candlelight, ghostly figures and ethereal whispers fill the sacred space, weaving an eerie tapestry of fear and fascination. As Jeanne witnesses the ethereal procession, she is confronted with the haunting reality of mortality and the power of faith.

Anatole France’s "The Mass of Shadows" masterfully blends elements of horror and the supernatural, challenging readers to explore the delicate boundary between belief and terror. With lyrical prose and vivid imagery, France crafts a timeless story that lingers long after the final page is turned.

Step into a world where the echoes of the past resound and the spirits of the dead walk among us. "The Mass of Shadows" is a gripping tale that will captivate your imagination and leave you questioning the mysteries of life and beyond.
