Podcast appearances and mentions of Irvin S Cobb

In Reelfoot Lake, a backwoods bayou of the American South, lives an outcast freak – a lonely swamp dweller whose fishy features have earned him a strange moniker. Mystery and local superstition surround him, but when the Baxter brothers seek their revenge will they uncover the truth about the one they call…”Fish Head”. This original recording is an audio presentation (with sound effects and music) by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “Fish Head” by Irvin S. Cobb (1913). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to a future episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Honest! Next one coming up soon!) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7JYpOrSDoCfvPbjBn6DZGIXDlK-eOzpR). NOTE ABOUT PRONUNCIATION OF "SLOUGH" A number of helpful people have gotten in touch to tell me I should have pronounced "slough" as "slew" as that is how it is pronounced in that part of the world. However, it was not a word known to me (not used much in British English, at least not in the sense meant in this story) so I referred to Merriam-Webster dictionary which suggested US speakers (except in New England) would pronounce the word "slew" or "sloo", but added that British English speakers would usually say "slau" (like the English town) even if they were refererring to an American swamp. As a British English speaker myself that was what I went with. As I'm rather tired of people assuming I don't do any research when I record these damn stories, I thought I'd set the record straight. No need for anyone else to tell me it should be "slew". Any issues, take it up with the dictionary people.

Nous continuons à explorer la biographie de Lovecraft pour comprendre son œuvre, et nous entrons enfin dans le Mythe de Cthulhu, ou presque, puisque l'œuvre du jour est Dagon, écrit en juillet 1917.Certains critiques vous diront que Dagon ne fait pas partie du Mythe : ils ont raison mais ils ont tort. En effet, à l'époque où HPL écrit Dagon, le Mythe n'existe pas. Mais à partir du moment où The Shadow Over Innsmouth ajoute l'Ordre Esotérique de Dagon au Mythe, on peut considérer que Dagon a été rétroactivement ajouté au Mythe par Lovecraft. De plus, il est évident que Dagon, influencé par Fishhead, préfigure la création du Mythe.

Cobb's Anatomy by Irvin S. Cobb audiobook. Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb was born on June 23, 1876. At seventeen years of age, he began writing for the Paducah Daily News, his hometown paper. At nineteen he became the managing editor; up to that point, our nation's youngest. He worked as a columnist, a humorist and an author. But 'horror,' and 'short stories,' are not why he is remembered. He is remembered because he was, and still is, funny. And although he is now dead--he died March 11, 1944--this work "Cobb's Anatomy," among others, has left an indelible mark upon mankind: a smile.

Today Irvin S. Cobb is remembered primarily as an author of humorous tales about life in Kentucky. Yet as William E. Ellis describes in his book Irvin S. Cobb: The Rise and Fall of an American Humorist (University Press of Kentucky, 2017), these stories reflected only a portion of his considerable literary output. Born in Paducah, Cobb got his start as a journalist working for the local papers. After moving to New York in 1904 he was hired at the New York World, for which he wrote a steady output of articles and humorous columns. The need for money contributed to Cobb’s move into short story writing, resulting in a number of works that are regarded as classics of their type. By the 1920s Cobb was one of the leading literary figures in America, though as Ellis explains his involvement with movie-making and radio dissipated his energies and contributed to the decline in the quality of his work in his later years.

Es una novela corta que tiene por escenario una salida pantanosa de un río en una zona apartada del bosque de la zona sur norteamericana. El mismísimo H.P. Lovecraft lo citó como una gran influencia para sus propios relatos. De hecho, Fishhead (1913) lo inspiró para escribir “La Sombra sobre Innsmouth” y otro relato titulado “The Unbroken Chain (1923) lo inspiró para escribir “Las ratas en las paredes”. En su ensayo “El Horror Supernatural en la Literatura” lo describió como “tremendamente efectivo en su descripción de las afinidades antinaturales entre un idiota híbrido y el extraño pez de un lago aislado". A menudo se le considera ese puente perdido entre la crítica social de Mark Twain y el horror cósmico -también cargado de crítica- de Lovecraft.

Host Bill Goodman is joined by historian Dr. William Ellis. He is the author of several books, including "A History of Education in Kentucky," "The Kentucky River," and "A History of Eastern Kentucky University." Dr. Ellis provides a thoughtful discussion of the history, funding, and future of education in Kentucky. In addition, Dr. Ellis details his latest book, "Irvin S. Cobb: The Rise and Fall of an American Humorist" which studies one of the highest paid and most celebrated American journalists of the early twentieth century.

Fishhead's brutal end.

A story that inspired Lovecraft - for the lushness of description, and perhaps the casual racism.

New thoughts on 'the Gothic' in movies and literature -- from Irvin S. Cobb, whose Gothic story "Fishhead" was termed a "banefully effective tale" by H. P. Lovecraft; to Ray Russell, of "Sardonicus" fame; to Roger Corman, who brought the House down around Roderick Usher. Turns out it's all about bodily disintegration in an enclosed space, and the dead hand of the past upon the hopes of the present. The Gothic becomes a fascinating study in the quest for bookings on the Last Metro.

Irvin S. Cobb (1876-1944) was famous in his day, but is unread now. Ours is the loss! His "Judge Priest" stories are as parabolic of grace as it gets. They exude peace, love, and understanding. And what's so funny about that? Here's your chance to bone up on Irvin S. Cobb! By the way, John Ford liked Cobb so much that he made two movies out of his stories, and then put him in a third. In 1961 Ford made a personal pilgrimage to Cobb's grave at Paducah, Kentucky. Two weeks from tomorrow I hope to do the same.
