Episode 0369 "The Storm Breeder"

Original Airdate: October 28, 1975

Written by William Austin, Adapted by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

Many of you may not be familiar with the writings of William Austin since his main claim to fame is that he was the forerunner of the famous Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it is as sad in a way as this haunting tale I bring you that he should have been so overshadowed by his famous antecedent for no more poignant and heartbreaking while at the same time terrifying story could be told than this. The American version of the wandering Jew, condemned and outcast, and the small shivering fever-wracked child with the sad brown eyes innocently doomed to share his exile with him forever.

For the strange, weird, unforgettable fragment of American history brought to you here, We are indebted, according to William Austin, to one Jonathan Dunwell of New York. Mr. Dunwell was a judge and as such a general officer of the court by profession, but by inclination an antiquarian and a collector of American history. It is his manuscript we bring to life.
