The Vacant Lot

Listen to *The Vacant Lot* by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, a quiet New England ghost story about a village, a family that has always belonged to it, and an empty plot of ground that people would rather not discuss. When the town's oldest family decides to leave, the whole village is shaken. Behind the neat white houses and the old blue-leopard sign, an uneasy mist gathers over a lot where something once stood. Freeman writes small-town life with sharp warmth and lets the chill creep in gently. Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic ghost stories, New England regional fiction, gentle supernatural tales, and atmospheric short stories.
