This is final installment of the intellectually charged and hilariously honest conversation with special guest Antonio Michael Downing and the Everyday Black Men podcast consisting of Riker, Reed, Sham, The Rider, White Collar Suge, and the Black Libertarian. Together they take a deep dive into Black literacy, cultural legacy, and uncomfortable truths. The crew tackles why many Black Americans struggle with reading, linking it to slavery, survival, parenting, and a lack of cultural infrastructure — all while debating if white authors dominate the bookshelf too heavily. Antonio Michael shares how the King James Bible and his grandma's poor eyesight jumpstarted his love for literature, leading to a lifelong relationship with reading and soft hands. The conversation detours through spicy commentary on Kamala Harris, Jamaican cultural contradictions, and literary hot takes on Lovecraft, Robert Greene, and Gogol. With humor, heat, and unexpected depth, the episode challenges listeners to consider how stories are passed down — or left behind in Black communities.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this special seasonal episode, host and narrator Erik Peabody presents one of the most enduring and unsettling works ever committed to the horror canon: “The Call of Cthulhu” by H.P. Lovecraft. What begins as a meditation on curiosity and scholarship soon becomes something far more disturbing—a slow, methodical descent into forbidden knowledge, fractured records, and the terrifying implications of truths humanity was never meant to assemble.

When the West Was WEIRD - Strange Western Tales by Steve StocktonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and  Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's  The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family. They'll choose one to talk about at the end of each show with appropriate suggested reading.

William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land (1912) is a staggering piece of early weird fiction — an immense, apocalyptic vision set millions of years in the future, after the sun has died. Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

Humanity survives in the Last Redoubt, a titanic metal pyramid lit by internal power, surrounded by eternal darkness and monstrous forces that hunger for the light within. The protagonist, a telepathic man of that far-future world, senses the spirit of his long-dead love calling from another human fortress — the Lesser Redoubt — now besieged in the black wilderness. Driven by love and duty, he ventures into the Night Land: a desolate, monster-haunted plain where the Earth's surface is stalked by “Watchers,” “Silent Ones,” and colossal horrors that defy comprehension. It's equal parts cosmic horror, doomed romance, and proto-science-fantasy. Hodgson's prose is archaic, deliberately medieval in tone, which makes the book feel like an illuminated manuscript describing a dream of the end of time. Modern readers often find it dense, but it rewards endurance — this is an early ancestor of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and dark science fiction from Dune to Dark Souls.

The people of East Haddam have lived with a problem most towns never have to think about: the ground itself screams. For centuries, residents around Mount Tom and Moodus have reported sudden, deafening booms that shake houses, topple stone walls, and roll across the Connecticut River Valley like artillery fire from an invisible war. The Wangunk called it Machimoodus - “the place of bad noises.” The Puritans blamed God. Later generations blamed witches, alchemists, and even buried gems glowing in the dark.But the real story is stranger. And much louder.In this episode, we trace the history of the Moodus Noises, from Hobomock and the Wangunk origin story, to Reverend Hosmer's terrified letters, the legendary “surgery” of Dr. Steele and his Great Carbuncle, the summer resorts that turned the booms into a tourist attraction, Lovecraft's Dunwich connection, the nuclear plant built alarmingly close by, and the modern seismologists who tried to pin it all on shallow, stressed bedrock… only to have the noises keep coming anyway.A tale of geology, religion, folklore, cosmic horror, and what happens when the loudest voice in town belongs to the earth itself.hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

Una historia que comienza en un circo de los años treinta, donde un hombre pequeño, marcado por la burla y por la mirada de los demás, encuentra por fin un lugar… hasta que la llegada de una misteriosa tienda roja y blanca, y de la criatura que se oculta en su interior, rompe la frágil normalidad del campamento. Una historia de miedo, sí, pero también de identidad, de supervivencia… y de un enigma capaz de decidir quién vive y quién muere.

Back in episode 112, Phil and JF devised a gimmick for a show: randomly select one of the many aphorisms in The Book of Probes, a compendium of Marshall McLuhan's prophetic quips designed by David Carson, and see what happens. It proved lively enough that they're trying it again nearly a hundred episodes later. The resulting conversation touches the weird across a range of themes: tourism, the two kinds of truth, advertising, Kubrick's marketing savvy, technology, orality versus literacy, and much more. A fitting feast for the mind as the year draws to a close. From all of us at Weird Studies, happy holidays. • Sign up for JF Martel and Erik Davis's upcoming course on Moby-Dick. • Join Phil, JF, and composer Pierre-Yves Martel for Weirdosphere's Solstice Story Hour on December 21. • For dates, venues, and the full slate of Weird Academia events in Bloomington this January, visit the Centre for Possible Minds website. • To participate in the Weird Academia Colloquium, email organizers Emma Stamm and Michael Garfield at elfthoughts@gmail.com Header Image: NASA.

"Ni la muerte, ni la fatalidad, ni la ansiedad, pueden producir la insoportable desesperación que resulta de perder la propia identidad". H. P. Lovecraft Entre marzo y agosto de 1921, el escritor norteamericano h.p. lovecraftdesplegó todo su atormentado imaginario personal en su relato titulado The Outsider, "El Extraño" publicado por primera vez en la mítica revista Weird Tales en abril de 1926. En una carta, el propio Lovecraft afirmaba que, de entre todos sus cuentos, esta historia es la que más se asemeja al estilo de su ídolo Edgar Allan Poe. Aunque de manera inconsciente, decía haber imitado al Poe de su apogeo, con referencias a Berenice o la Mascara de la Muerte Roja... Así pues acomódense amigos en su cubil favorito, apaguen las luces, enciendan una vela y prepárense para disfrutar de una de las historias más emblemáticas del maestro Lovecraft,. invocado desde las páginas oscuras de Valdemar y su antología de narrativa completa, a cargo de Juan Antonio Molina Foix, con la maravillosa traducción de Francisco Torres Oliver, José María Nebreda y el mismo Juan Antonio… No se pierdan esta maravillosa compilación de la Narrativa Completa de Lovecraft https://www.valdemar.com/libro/narrativa-completa-vol-i/ Sigan al maestro Toliol en sus redes del Mal https://bsky.app/profile/toliol.bsky.social Sigan las redes de Librería Gigamesh https://bsky.app/profile/gigamesh.com Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

No caven mi tumba (Dig Me No Grave) es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), publicado originalmente en la edición de febrero de 1937 en la revista Weird Tales, y luego reeditado por Arkham House en la antología de 1963: El hombre oscuro y otros relatos (The Dark Man and Others). No caven mi tumba, relata la historia de John Conrad y el profesor Kirawan, dos hombre que resuelven pasar la noche en la casa de John Grimlan, un afamado y temido ocultista que acaba de morir recientemente en circunstancias poco claras, y quien ha dejado una serie de misteriosas instrucciones que ambos se proponen seguir. SPOILERS La biblioteca, naturalmente, es la habitación más peligrosa de esta casa embrujada; repleta de murciélagos, velas, corrientes de aire frío y, quizás lo más inquietante, un cadáver sobre la mesa de la biblioteca. Allí, los visitantes leen las peculiares instrucciones dejadas por Grimlan, donde refiere la disposición de sus restos terrenales. No caven mi tumba pertenece a los Mitos de Cthulhu de H.P. Lovecraft, y contiene una gran cantidad de referencias a este ciclo, como la presencia de Yog-Sothoth, Kathulos (Cthulhu), Yuggoth, y los Antiguos. Si bien no se trata de una secuela, No caven mi tumba comparte algunos personajes con otros relato de Robert E. Howard: Los hijos de la noche (The Children of the Night), donde el profesor Kirawan y John Conrad encabezan una animada tertulia que recuerda las hazañas de una antigua raza de humanos que logró vencer a los reptilianos. Lo más interesante de estos dos relatos, a los que podemos sumar: El pueblo de la oscuridad (People of the Dark) y La gente pequeña (The Little People), es que en ellos se percibe la intención de Robert E. Howard de crear una línea alternativa para los Mitos de Cthulhu, donde los reptilianos ocupan un lugar preponderante como la gran raza antigua que luchó contra los seres humanos para propagar sus rasgos genéticos y, de este modo, perpetuar sus odiosas prácticas religiosas en las generaciones posteriores.

A grieving couple's desperate wish brings something to their door in W.W. Jacobs' 1902 classic, 'The Monkey's Paw.' Then, H.P. Lovecraft reveals the disturbing truth behind one artist's unnervingly lifelike paintings in 'Pickman's Model.IN THIS EPISODE: "The Monkey's Paw" was first published in England in 1902.  Without giving any spoilers, in the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of The Monkey's Paw, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate.
