Our next mythos series is in the works, planned for the lead-up to Halloween. It's a little more ambitious, and will consist almost entirely of NEW mythos stories. Thanks for your ongoing support, ladies and gents. Ian & Jen

Your channel is a much welcomed reprieve from the struggles of daily life, and has been a boon in mine. So much so, that I shill for you every chance I get. Much appreciated, sincerely.

I,m enjoying these too. Being a Limey I know very little of the the locations. Only the beautiful descriptions from H.P. Lovecraft. I really enjoyed his“The Strange High House in the Mist“ and l loved one of the comments from someone that their teacher wrote down the first paragraph and read it to his class as an example of how beautiful the English language can be regardless of genre. It was set at Kingsport Mass. With this story l looked up Sabbathday because the author used it in the previous story. I found out that it’s the name of a Lake in Maine and the last home of the Shakers , The Sabbathday Centre. I learn much from these stories.

These books belonged to Randolph Carter.

Great story! It was cool that he described the real phenomenon of Will-o'-the-wisps. There's a marsh near me that pumps them out pretty regularly. Anaerobic bacteria creates phosphine which combusts immediately upon contact with air, naturally the fuel that keeps them going is methane.

Yes l,m wondering that too. The patronising attitudes towards race and the cruel treatment of women remind me of Lovecraft and RE Howard but l don’t think it was them having a day off.l had convinced myself it was C.Hall. Thompson because of a few names through the stories but sometimes the styles are so different……l,m gonna listen again and think again.
