Reginald by Saki
This is a great set of short stories by Saki, (a.k.a. H. H. Munro) as read by the British baritone Jason X. on LibriVox. This is one of those special gems buried in the overwhelming and often tedious LibriVox catalogue, but Jason X. is the perfect reader for these enchantingly macabre, satirical shorts from the turn of the century. I think this is where Edward Gorey drew much of his inspiration.
