Kuvaus

In this episode of Small Frights and Other Delights we read chapters 1-6 of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror" (1929). This story is one of the most popular entries in the "Cthulu Mythos" and was originally published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. The tale centers around a strange child born to an old family in the fictional Massachusetts hamlet of Dunwich, where an ancient evil is trying to re enter our dimension through obscure, blasphemous means. Nearby cows look anemic and skinny. Neighbors tell of strange sounds coming from the Earth and nearby mountains. There's a dang four year old with a beard in the story. In modern terms, the vibes in Dunwich are off, big time. H.P. lovecraft must have had some bad dreams or something, because, man, this story has got some grade A1 premium cosmic dread in it. all killer no filler. I am joined today by Nona Anderson, who is a fantastic voice actor. She really elevates the story telling and made it a lot more fun to record. Give us a like! Give us a follow! You can make my life better by pressing a button on your phone! Much love!

4 - The Night Wire by H.F. Arnold (1926) and Far Below by Samuel Barbour Johnson (1939)

In this episode of Small Frights and other delights, I ready two classic stories from the pulp magazine "Weird Tales", H.F. Arnold's The Night Wire and Samuel Barbour Johnson's Far Below. Both are in a similar vein of dark, atmospheric horror. The Night Wire (10:00) : https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/68555 In the Night Wire, in a skyscraper in a metropolis late at night, strange transmissions come into a radio operator's office from a far away land called Xebico detailing the unraveling of a city by supernatural causes. Far Below (31:00) : https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV34N0119390607/page/26/mode/2up In Far Below, a journalist visits with a squad of policemen guarding the New York City subway from an army of strange creatures that come out to terrorize the riders of the subway in the small hours of the morning. Enjoy the stories! Enjoy your life!
