The Thanksgiving Visitor - Part 2/2

BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Truman Capote Short Stories, The Thanksgiving Visitor - Part 2/2

A shudder goes through Buddy. Then his worst enemy appears.

Buddy shudders at his worst enemy, Odd Henderson, whose presence he feels before he even sees him. From December 2013.

'The Thanksgiving Visitor' Part 2. 

'I felt Odd Henderson before I saw him: with the sense of peril that warns an experienced woodsman say of an impending encounter with a bobcat. To others he must have seemed simply a grubby twelve-year-old boy. But to me he was as sinister as a genie released from a bottle.'
