En este episodio nos adentramos en el oscuro y sangriento universo de Doom, el icónico videojuego de id Software que cambió para siempre el modo en que entendemos el terror interactivo. Pero hoy no hablaremos de armas ni de demonios... sino de narrativa. ¿Puede un FPS de los 90 ser interpretado como una alegoría existencial? ¿Qué hay detrás de sus laberintos pixelados y su violencia desatada? Aquí respondemos a esas preguntas con un enfoque literario y simbólico que te hará mirar a Doom con otros ojos. Gilgamesh, Homero, Virgilio, Dante Alighieri, John Milton, Clark Ashton Smith, H. P. Lovecraft, William Blake, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Celan, Elfriede Jelinek, W. G. Sebald, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, Georges Bataille, Thomas Ligotti, Friedrich Nietzsche, Nick Land, Cormac McCarthy..., todos ellos, de un modo u otro, están relacionados con el tema que nos ocupa el día de hoy.

Join Justin as he chats with musician, artist, and author Jo Gamel and writer and editor of DMR Books D.M. Ritzlin about the release of Swords of Steel IV, the depths of the Pongus Maw, songwriting, mythology, Vran the Chaos-Warped, and more!Jo Gamel bio:“Jo Gamel is a multidisciplinary artist living in Philadelphia. Her process is heavily influenced by the practice of Art-as-Therapy, which she studied at the Master's level at Antioch University Seattle. She has lived as an ESL instructor in Sweden and Turkey, and traveled to over 28 countries, including award-funded trips to Finland and Russia, all of which has informed her anthropological interests in goddesses, religious architecture, feminism and theology. Her family's mixed spiritualties include Judaism, Polish Catholicism, English and Irish Episcopalianism, Celtic Wiccan, and Japanese Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Her work has been shown in galleries in Philadelphia, New York City, Seattle and New Jersey. Jo Gamel is the founder of Tutor of the Arts LLC, as well as an art education instructor, a private tutor, a curator, and an art gallery assistant. Now, she is writing a textbook on the chemistry and physics of oil paint with co-author Dr. Michael Mackay in order to expand the understanding of the creation of archival paintings. She also is debuting a Hard Rock album with her band, Jüpiter, along side her latest body of work, both of which explore the Power of Venus as employed by female Rock musicians.”D.M. Ritzlin bio:“D.M. Ritzlin founded DMR Books in 2015 with the aim of revitalizing sword-and-sorcery literature. DMR's publications include reprints of classic material by authors such as Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, and Clark Ashton Smith, as well as brand-new collections and anthologies by some of the finest fantasy writers active today. Ritzlin's first collection of his own stories, Necromancy in Nilztiria, was released in October 2020. This was followed by a novel, Vran the Chaos-Warped (2023), and a second collection, Dark Dreams of Nilztiria (2024). His tales mix action, horror, wonder, and gallows humor in varying degrees. Lately the field of role-playing games has recaptured Ritzlin's attention. His first professionally published adventure module, The Lair of the Brain Eaters, was released through one of the best-known publishers of old school RPG material, Lamentations of the Flame Princess.Prior to his involvement in publishing, Ritzlin worked in the antique map trade, among other fields. He lives in Chicago, the city of his birth.”Intro and outro theme created by Wyrm.

Rimel was born to Pearl Guy Rimel and Florance F. (née Wilsey) Rimel on February 21, 1915, in Asotin, Washington.His father was a painter, while his mother worked as a secretary. In 1934, he graduated from Asotin High School.H. P. Lovecraft began corresponding with Rimel after becoming aware of him in 1933. The resulting correspondence continued until Lovecraft's death in 1937. He introduced Rimel to F. Lee Baldwin, another author and resident of Asotin, Washington. Lovecraft tutored Rimel in the writing of weird fiction by giving him advice and weird texts from his personal library. He sent Lovecraft some early manuscripts, including a now-lost work titled "The Spell of the Blue Stone" in February 1934. Lovecraft regarded this story as being "very remarkable for a beginner's work". Next, he sent "The Tree on the Hill", which Lovecraft edited. This story was later published in the 1940 issue of the fanzine Polaris. In the summer of that year, Rimel sent a poetic manuscript titled "The Dreams of Yid". Lovecraft altered the title to "The Dreams of Yith", as Rimel had not been aware that the term "yid" is an offensive term for a Jewish person. Clark Ashton Smith also contributed to the revision.The sonnets were published in two issues of the Fantasy Fan.Lovecraft, who was professionally revising stories for clients, did not charge Rimel for his revisions.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! You ever join a cult? Not a cute one like a bookclub, or pilates, or Taylor Swift fans, but one of the scary ones, like Heaven's Gate, or Scientology, or Dave Matthews fans (just kidding Dave, love you!). This week's story give strong culty vibes. Ken picked the story for Heather to read. It's by previous Campfire Classics author Clark Ashton Smith and it's called "The Demon of the Flower". It's a bizarre trip of a story clearly written by a man who would have rather been writing poetry.  Your hosts learn a lot of new words, choose a graphic alliterative euphemism, and make juvenile jokes about what the author's name sounds like. "The Demon of the Flower" was published 1933 in Astounding Stories. Extensive research has uncovered no evidence of an active copyright. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Like, subscribe, leave a review. Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

Soft spoken ASMR / narration of Genius Loci by Clark Ashton Smith. In the desolate wilds within a dark meadow, a sinister force lurks, veiling the land in an eerie shadow. The artist, captivated by the haunting beauty of the place, becomes obsessed with capturing its essence. Despite dire warnings about the malevolent spirit that haunts the area, the artist delves deeper into his fascination and as his obsession grows, the landscape's dark influence tightens its grip, leading to a terrifying climax. The once serene surroundings reveal their true, ghastly nature, proving that some places are better left undisturbed.Soft spoken ASMR is used to provide listeners with comfort to ease symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, and ptsd. ASMR with atmospheric sounds—like gentle whispering, soft taps, and calming nature noises works wonders for relaxation and anxiety relief. The soothing sounds and personal attention mimic a comforting, nurturing experience, while promoting mindfulness and focus that diverts attention from anxious thoughts. Physiologically, ASMR can lower heart rate and blood pressure, activating neural circuits linked to relaxation. This powerful combination creates a serene environment, helping individuals unwind and feel at peace.

Dan and Paul reflect on the many changing faces of ghouls in D&D and fantasy literature. How did they become one of the most feared monster types? What flavor is best: the one from Lovecraft, Howard, Leiber, Gygax, or Romero? Should they be unthinking undead, or a sentient organized race? What's the best way to skin (or unskin) them in your D&D game? In Arabic folklore, the ghul is said to dwell in cemeteries and other uninhabited places. A male ghoul is referred to as ghul while the female is called ghulah. A source identified the Arabic ghoul as a female creature who is sometimes called Mother Ghoul (ʾUmm Ghulah) or a relational term such as Aunt Ghoul. She is portrayed in many tales luring hapless characters, who are usually men, into her home where she can eat them. Some state[who?] that a ghoul is a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting demon that can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead, then taking the form of the person most recently eaten. One of the narratives identified a ghoul named Ghul-e Biyaban, a particularly monstrous character believed to be inhabiting the wilderness of Afghanistan and Iran. In "Pickman's Model", a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, ghouls are members of a subterranean race. Their diet of dead human flesh mutated them into bestial humanoids able to carry on intelligent conversations with the living. The story has ghouls set underground with ghoul tunnels that connect ancient human ruins with deep underworlds. Lovecraft hints that the ghouls emerge in subway tunnels to feed on train wreck victims. Lovecraft's vision of the ghoul, shared by associated authors Clark Ashton-Smith and Robert E. Howard, has heavily influenced the collective idea of the ghoul in American culture. Ghouls as described by Lovecraft are dog-faced and hideous creatures but not necessarily malicious. Though their primary (perhaps only) food source is human flesh, they do not seek out or hunt living people. They are able to travel back and forth through the wall of sleep. This is demonstrated in Lovecraft's "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" in which Randolph Carter encounters Pickman in the dream world after his complete transition into a mature ghoul.

Amina (Amina) es un relato de vampiros del escritor norteamericano Edward Lucas White (1866-1934), escrito en 1906 y publicado originalmente edición del 1 de junio de 1907 de la revista The Bellman. Más adelante formaría parte de la antología de 1927: Lukundoo y otros relatos (Lukundoo and Other Stories); y desde entonces sería reeditado en numerosas colecciones, entre ellas: Los durmientes y los muertos (The Sleeping and the Dead) y El libro negro del hombre lobo (The Black Book of the Werewolf). Amina, uno de los grandes cuentos de Edward Lucas White [escrito sobre la base de un poema anterior: La Ghoula (The Ghoula)], relata la historia de Waldo, un joven de Maine que se aleja de su campamento en el desierto persa. Es ayudado por una extraña mujer, llamada Amina, que habita en una antigua tumba con sus hijos, muchos hijos, una verdadera jauría de pequeños Ghouls hambrientos [ver: Razas de vampiros] ¡¡¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!!! Amina de Edward Lucas White relata la historia de Waldo, un joven aventurero de Rhode Island que emprende un viaje al interior de Persia bajo la protección de un cónsul, presumiblemente estadounidense. A pesar de la advertencia del cónsul, Waldo se separa de su grupo y se encuentra con una mujer de aspecto inusual, exótico, llamada Amina. Ella lleva el rostro descubierto, sin adornos, lo cual ya es extraño en aquellas tierras, pero no tanto como su excepcional musculatura y las largas uñas, como garras, que crecen en sus pies. Amina, inesperadamente, habla inglés [«aunque apenas mueve los labios»]. No es cristiana, ni musulmana, sino que afirma pertenecer al «Pueblo Libre», sobre el cual se abstiene de brindar mayores comentarios. Amina le ofrece refugio a nuestro protagonista, sediento y desorientado, que resulta ser una tumba en ruinas, muy antigua, habitada por numerosos niños deformes. Eventualmente, Edward Lucas White revela que Amina es un Ghoul, y que aquellos niños son su última camada de crías [ver: Danny Glick y los niños-vampiro de Stephen King] Finalmente, el cónsul intercede y dispara a Amina dos veces. Cuando Waldo lo acusa de asesinar a una mujer, el cónsul le señala el cuerpo tendido en el suelo de la tumba, el cual revela todas las características de esta temible raza del folclore árabe: los Ghouls [ver: Ghouls: la historia secreta de los Necrófagos en la ficción] Edward Lucas White introduce varias innovaciones en Amina. Por ejemplo, enfatiza la naturaleza salvaje de los Ghouls, pero sin mencionar sus hábitos como necrófagos, y los reduce a una rareza zoológica, como si se trataran de una versión degradada del ser humano. En definitiva, los clasifica como una amenaza temporal, no espiritual, y lo hace a través de la fuerte atracción sexual que Waldo siente hacia Amina. Resulta inevitable citar la historia de Sidi Nouman, de Las mil y una noches, como fuente de inspiración para el relato. Allí, la novia de Sidi, llamada Amina, resulta ser un Ghoul. Al darse cuenta de que ella evita comer en varias ocasiones, Sidi Nouman finge dormir y, en medio de la noche, la sigue hasta un cementerio abandonado. Allí la sorprende sentada en una tumba con una manada de pequeños y hambrientos Ghouls dándose un festín macabro con un cadáver. Evidentemente, la Amina de Edward Lucas White es la misma que la de Las mil y una noches; de hecho, en el relato, Waldo reconoce su nombre de Las mil y una noches, pero ella responde que los del Pueblo Libre [los Ghouls] «no saben nada de tales locuras». Si bien es un relato muy breve, con escasa caracterización, el personaje de Amina exhibe una profundidad que me impresionó. Por supuesto, se trata de un Ghoul que se alimenta de viajeros desprevenidos y, en épocas de escasez, de cadáveres; pero su accionar, de algún modo, su naturaleza maternal [tiene una gran camada que alimentar], la vuelve sumamente terrenal, casi como una leona que caza para sus cachorros. Definitivamente es una de las vampiresas más agradables que he conocido [ver: La maternidad fallida en «Drácula»] La historia de Amina es recurrente en el relato de terror. Por ejemplo, Clark Ashton Smith ambienta su historia de 1934: El Ghoul (The Ghoul), durante el reinado del califa Vathek; y narra la historia de un joven que realiza un pacto con un Ghoul para asegurarse de que el cadáver de su difunta esposa, llamada Amina [que aquí no es un necrófago sino su posible cena], no sea profanado. Uno de los cuentos favoritos de H.P. Lovecraft [aunque no lo menciona en su ensayo El horror sobrenatural en la literatura a pesar de su evidente influencia en su propia obra] es Amina. Sin embargo, se refirió al autor en términos elogiosos: [Muy notables, a su manera, son algunas de las extrañas concepciones del novelista y cuentista Edward Lucas White, la mayoría de cuyos temas surgen de sueños reales. El Sr. White imparte una cualidad muy peculiar a sus cuentos: una especie de glamour oblicuo que tiene su propio tipo distintivo de convencimiento.] Podemos observar claramente la influencia de Amina en la ficción de Lovecraft a través de la naturaleza canina de los Ghouls de Edward Lucas White: [Waldo sintió náuseas. Lo que vio no fue el frente de una mujer, sino más bien la parte inferior de un viejo fox-terrier con cachorros, o de una cerda blanca, con su segunda camada; desde la clavícula hasta la ingle, diez ubres colgantes, dos filas mutiladas, fibrosas y flácidas.] H.P. Lovecraft parece haberse inspirado en este modelo canino del Ghoul de Edward Lucas White para sus propios necrófagos en El modelo de Pickman (Pickman's Model) [ver: De la luz a la oscuridad: psicología de «El modelo de Pickman»]. Así relata el narrador un cuadro del artista maldito, titulado: La lección (The Lesson), cuyas conclusiones coinciden con las de Edward Luchas White en cuanto a la similitud, incluso a un posible vínculo genético, entre los Ghouls y los Humanos: [Imagina un círculo de cosas parecidas a perros, en cuclillas, enseñándole a un niño humano a alimentarse como ellos. Ya conoces el viejo mito de los Changelings, supongo. Pickman estaba mostrando lo que les sucede a esos bebés robados, cómo crecen, y luego comencé a ver una relación horrible en los rostros de las figuras humanas y no humanas. Estaba, en todas sus gradaciones de morbosidad, entre lo no humano y lo degradadamente humano, estableciendo un vínculo y una evolución sardónica. ¡Las cosas caninas se desarrollaron a partir de mortales!] Los Ghouls de Edward Lucas White y Lovecraft influyeron poderosamente en Los moradores debajo de las tumbas (The Dwellers Under the Tomb) de Robert E. Howard, donde la relación entre los Ghouls y los Humanos continúa. Para Edward Lucas White, estas criaturas son una antigua raza que habita en un mundo de engaño, en las fronteras de nuestra realidad física. Para Lovecraft y Howard, son el producto de la decadencia genética, de la involución del ser humano que ha mutado en una bestia repugnante [ver: Los Perros de Tindalos y los ángulos del tiempo] Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico http://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2022/01/amina-edward-lucas-white-relato-y.html Texto del relato extraído de: http://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2022/01/amina-edward-lucas-white-relato-y.html Musicas: - 01.

It's a conversation that dances on the edge of a Lovecraftian abyss, punctuated by the distinct plucks of email humor, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (to hell), Bob Hope, and a few tidbits about this Eldritch horror. Tsathoggua, not Bob Hope.  Big Red Button: A Fallout PodcastCrawl out through the Fallout with us!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showStarting your own podcast?
