Danielson Post Production: Craig Groshek Story © Conrak Aiken (public domain) Audio production © Chilling Entertainment, LLC ★ ★ ABOUT AUTHOR CONRAD AIKEN ★ ★ Conrad Aiken is an American poet, playwright, novelist and essayist. He was born in 1889 in Savannah, Georgia. His parents William and Anna were from a wealthy and prominent New England family. His father was respected physician and brain surgeon, who, in the winter of 1901, for reasons inexplicable, turned angry, unstable, violent. On February the 27th William shot himself and his wife. Conrad heard the shots and found the bodies. Conrad moved to Massachusetts where he was raised by his aunt, later studying at Harvard where he edited the Advocate with T S Eliot. His later poetry and novels explored both spiritual and psychological depths, his early work, informed by grim tragedy, is the perfect, chilling read for Halloween. So turn the lights low, the noise machines off. Hush the children. You may want to stop half way through, to bolt the windows and lock the doors. The Vampire appeared in his second published work Turns and Movies and other Tales in Verse (Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1916). Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) is a fascinating figure, part of a great literary clan, including his daughters Jane Aiken Hodge and Joan Aiken.
