Podcasts about Weird Tales

¡Algo se arrastra bajo la tierra! En los bosques olvidados de Massachusetts, una familia de oscuro linaje guarda un secreto ancestral. Cuando nace un niño anormalmente desarrollado llamado Wilbur Whateley, la región entera empieza a temer lo que habita en la colina de los Whateley. Este primer volumen de El horror de Dunwich nos adentra en un relato de misterio, brujería y terrores cósmicos. Escrito en 1928 y publicado en 1929 en Weird Tales, El horror de Dunwich es una de las piezas clave del llamado “Ciclo de los Mitos de Cthulhu”. En ella, Lovecraft nos presenta por primera vez de manera directa a Yog-Sothoth, uno de sus dioses primigenios, y construye una atmósfera opresiva y rural que ha influido profundamente en el género del terror. Este cuento ha inspirado adaptaciones cinematográficas como The Dunwich Horror (1970), cómics, juegos de rol como La Llamada de Cthulhu, y videojuegos como Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

La horca (The Gallows) es un relato psicológico —perteneciente al Gótico Sureño (Southern Gothic)— del escritor norteamericano I. W. D. Peters (¿?), publicado en la edición de marzo de 1923 de la revista Weird Tales. La horca, el único cuento de I. W. D. Peters que fue publicado —autor sobre el cual no se sabe prácticamente nada—, relata en primera persona la historia de un hombre que pasa sus últimas horas en su celda antes de ser colgado en la horca. SPILERS El narrador asegura que es culpable del crimen por el cual fue sentenciado: matar al amante de su esposa. En todo caso, desea ser colgado, anhela la horca, quizás para liberarse de la desilusión, del dolor de saber que la mujer que ama se ha entregado con voracidad a los brazos de un cretino; quien además, probablemente, es el verdadero padre del niño que ella lleva en el vientre. En este sentido, La horca de I. W. D. Peters parece un auténtico culebrón, la típica historia del marido que se siente herido, ultrajado en su orgullo, y que comete un crimen en un arrebato de locura. No obstante, el trasfondo de la historia es más interesante que eso. Se deslizan ciertas costumbres, ciertos hábitos en la pareja, que la vuelven inusual para la época. En todo caso, las aspiraciones del cuento son sencillas: mantener el suspenso hasta el final, donde sabremos si el hombre irá a la horca, o será salvado a último momento por un indulto del gobernador.

La rana (The Frog) es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Henry Kuttner (1915-1958), publicado originalmente en la edición de febrero de 1939 en la revista Strange Stories. La rana, posiblemente uno de los cuentos de Henry Kuttner menos conocidos, relata la historia de Norman Hartley, un artista de Nueva York que decide pasar una temporada en el campo para recuperar su productividad. Alquila una casa rural muy cerca de Monk's Hollow, o la Hoya del Monje, y en su jardín descubre una gran roca con extraños grabados. Los lugareños la llaman La Piedra de la Bruja, y aseguran que en realidad es la lápida de Persis Winthorp, una bruja que fue oportunamente asesinada por los antiguos pobladores del lugar. SPOILERS. A pesar de las advertencias de los lugareños, Norman Hartley es un tipo escéptico. No cree en absurdas supersticiones. Por otro lado, la Piedra de la Bruja ofende su sensibilidad artística, ya que arruina la delicada simetría del jardín, de modo tal que contrata a un par de sujetos para que quiten la lápida. Naturalmente, esto fue una muy mala idea. Persis Winthorp regresa, no ya como una odiosa bruja, sino más bien como una criatura híbrida, mitad mujer, mitad batracio (ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Horror). Bajo esta forma monstruosa aterroriza a Norman Hartley y a la gente de la Hoya del Monje, irrumpiendo en sus casas en medio de la noche y haciéndolas pedazos. Los aldeanos se apresuran a organizar una partida para defender a sus familias y cazar al monstruo. Sin embargo, todo parce indicar que la bruja está interesada únicamente en Norman Hartley, a quien eventualmente persigue hasta sus dominios en el pantano. La rana de no es un relato brillante, pero sí competente, la clase de pieza que uno espera de un autor con el oficio de Henry Kuttner. La escena final, donde Persis Winthorp persigue al protagonista hasta el pantano, es realmente escalofriante, así como la frondosa descripción que hace el autor de esta monstruosa criatura híbrida. Si bien La rana de Henry Kuttner no pertenece a los Mitos de Cthulhu (ver: Henry Kuttner en los Mitos de Cthulhu), hay algunos aspectos que lo vinculan directamente con la obra de H.P. Lovecraft, entre ellos, el tema del mestizaje, el tratamiento que el autor le da a Persis Winthorp, y lo reptiliano (ver: Reptilianos en la obra de Lovecraft). Henry Kuttner estuvo trabajando en La rana mucho antes de que finalmente apareciera. Tres años antes, le escribió a Lovecraft comentándole a grandes rasgos el argumento de la historia. El 18 de mayo de 1936, el maestro de Providence le respondió: Tu mención de La rana me interesa mucho, porque parece mi clase de cuento. Si Wright lo rechaza (Lovecraft se refiere aquí a Farnsworth Wright, editor de Weird Tales), confío en que me dejarás leerlo, porque no quiero perderme el tipo de historia que parece ser. La atmósfera de persecusión onírica es sin duda ideal para cualquier cosa de esta naturaleza. Tal como lo anticipó Lovecraft, Farnsworth Wright rechazó La rana de Henry Kuttner, tal vez porque el argumento se parecía demasiado a otro cuento del autor: El horror de Salem (The Salem Horror). Pasaron tres años antes de que apareciera en Strange Stories, una de las revistas que rivalizaban con Weird Tales. Lovecraft, lamentablemente, murió en 1937. No sabemos si Henry Kuttner le envió una copia de La rana antes de esa fecha, pero estimamos cualquier miembro del Círculo de Lovecraft le concedería tal solicitud al Maestro de Providence (ver: Los Mitos de Khut-N’hah) Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2020/08/la-rana-henry-kuttner-relato-y-analisis.html Texto del relato extraído de: https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2020/08/la-rana-henry-kuttner-relato-y-analisis.html Musicas: - 01.

A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business. The secret of one of the strangest professions in the world. An Adventure of a Professional Corpse - The Artificial Honeymoon by H. Bedford–Jones. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.I have to admit, I'd never heard of H. Bedford-Jones until I came across this story—and what a discovery! As I started digging into his background, I was amazed to learn that he wrote nearly 200 novels, 400 novelettes, and 800 short stories across a wide range of genres, often under various pseudonyms. No wonder he earned the nickname “King of the Pulps!”Born in 1887 in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, Bedford-Jones became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1908. Just six years later, his first novel was published, marking the start of a remarkably prolific career.And as if that wasn't enough, he also worked as a journalist for the Boston Globe and even wrote poetry. A true literary powerhouse!Turn to page 4 of the July 1940 issue of Weird Tales to dive into the featured cover story, The Artificial Honeymoon by H.

A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment. Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another podcast, another debut—this time for author Edwin Baird. Best known as the first editor of Weird Tales magazine, Baird helped launch the iconic American fantasy and horror pulp, whose first issue was dated March 1923 and hit newsstands on February 18 of that year.However, Weird Tales got off to a rocky start. Plagued by financial difficulties, the magazine struggled, and Baird was dismissed after just one year at the helm. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1886, Baird published four short stories during his lifetime—three before Weird Tales and one in the very magazine that let him go.Yet perhaps his most enduring legacy lies in his editorial decisions. As the magazine's founding editor, Baird was among the first to publish the work of a now-legendary author: H.P. Lovecraft. And if you've heard our earlier episodes, you'll recall that Lovecraft was a tireless letter writer. Thankfully many of his letters were preserved, including this one to Baird.Shortly after the first issue of Weird Tales was published Lovecraft let himself be persuaded to send Edwin Baird five manuscripts. This is a portion of the letter Lovecraft sent, “My Dear Sir: Having a habit of writing weird, macabre, and fantastic stories for my own amusement, I have lately been simultaneously hounded by nearly a dozen well-meaning friends into deciding to submit a few of these Gothic horrors to your newly-founded periodical. The decision is herewith carried out. Enclosed are five tales written between 1917 and 1923.I have no idea that these things will be found suitable, for I pay no attention to the demands of commercial writing. My object is such pleasure as I can obtain from the creation of certain bizarre pictures, situations, or atmospheric effects; and the only reader I hold in mind is myself.My models are invariably the older writers, especially Poe, who has been my favorite literary figure since early childhood. Should any miracle impel you to consider the publication of my tales, I have but one condition to offer; and that is that no excisions be made. If the tale can not be printed as written, down to the very last semicolon and comma, it must gracefully accept rejection.”So there you have it, a little piece of science fiction history thanks to Weird Tales editor Edwin Baird.Published in Weird Tales Magazine in May 1937 on page 607, Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business.

Before David's startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.A new debut on the podcast today: the first woman to publish science fiction stories under her own name in the pulp magazines. While Francis Stevens—born Gertrude Barrows Bennett—was a trailblazer often credited as the first female science fiction writer, she published under the ambiguous name “G. M. Barrows,” using initials that concealed her gender.Clare Winger Harris didn't hide hers. When her first short story, The Runaway World, appeared in the July 1926 issue of Weird Tales, it was credited openly to Mrs. F. C. Harris.Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1891, Clare came from a distinguished background. Her mother, Mary Stover Winger, was the daughter of D. C. Stover, the town's wealthiest man, a renowned inventor and industrialist. Her father, Frank S. Winger, was an electrical contractor and a science fiction writer himself, having published The Wizard of the Island; or, The Vindication of Prof. Waldinger in 1917.Between 1926 and 1933, Harris wrote a dozen science fiction short stories and one novel. In the late 1930s, she moved to Pasadena, California, where she lived modestly and sometimes worked as a switchboard operator to make ends meet.Remarkably, just a year before her death in 1968, she inherited a quarter of her grandfather's estate—valued at over two million dollars. Though he had passed away in 1908, the estate had been tied up in court battles for nearly sixty years.We will find today's story in the very first issue of Science Wonder Quarterly in the fall of 1929, on page 78, The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student's fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness.

They include our second-lap Cambridgeshire story, The Tale of a Toad Man, and our recent Buckinghamshire and Rutland stories Cassian, The Milton Keynes Vampire, and The Oakham Poachers.We really hope you enjoy them, and we'll be back on Monday with the next tale in our "Fairy Book Project," The Tale Of A Youth Who Set Out To Learn What Fear Was...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Two men debate the limits of human understanding while sitting atop an ancient, haunted burial ground—only to be confronted by a terror that defies all form and logic. What lurks beyond language and reason may not just exist… it may be waiting. The Unnamable by H. P. Lovecraft.

Thanks for listening, and thanks for helping others discover the stories we love to share!H. P. Lovecraft was an unusual man. He wrote more than 60 short stories, plus some novels and novellas, but he also penned somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 letters to friends and fans. Some of those letters were reportedly up to 50 pages long and he sometimes skipped meals to pay for postage to mail them.During his lifetime, Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived in relative obscurity. Though he wrote all those letters to other writers and his small but dedicated fans his stories were mostly published in pulp magazines, earning little money and he got almost no recognition. Sad story, but if you think that's sad, when H. P. Lovecraft died only two people attended his funeral.Step back in time nearly a century as we crack open the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales to page 78, The Unnamable by H. P.

La guardia nocturna (The Death Watch) —también conocido en español como: El Visitante Nocturno— es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Hugh B. Cave (1910-2004), publicado originalmente en la edición de junio-julio de 1939 en la revista Weird Tales, y luego reeditado en la antología de 1977: Murgunstrumm y otros (Murgunstrumm and Others). La guardia nocturna es uno de los grandes cuentos de Hugh B. Cave, relata la historia de Harry Crandall, encargado de monitorear las llamadas de radio de emergencia en el área de los pantanos de Everglades, Florida; quien descubre, a través de Peter Ingram, un uso novedoso e inquietante para las frecuencias de radio: la posibilidad de invocar seres interdimensionales. SPOILERS. La guardia nocturna es la única contribución de Hugh B. Cave a los Mitos de Cthulhu de H.P. Lovecraft, que además combina algunas menciones a otros universos literarios, como Bethmoora, de Lord Dunsany. Aquí, Peter Ingram, obsesionado con la muerte de su cuñado, Mark, comienza a estudiar obsesivamente algunos libros prohibidos (ver: Libros apócrifos en los Mitos de Cthulhu). No se menciona específicamente ninguno de ellos, pero podemos presumir la presencia del Necronomicón. Estos conocimientos profanos son aplicados sobre la experiencia de Ingram en todo lo relacionado con las frecuencias de radio. Su ambición es ponerse en contacto son inteligencias de otras dimensiones, entre ellas, el mismísimo Nyarlathotep, Hastur, y otras entidades de los Mitos (ver: Dioses y criaturas de los Mitos de Cthulhu). La guardia nocturna realiza un intento muy interesante por reconciliar la tecnología con el ocultismo. Por un lado, tenemos al narrador, Harry Crandall, a cargo de la guardia nocturna de la estación de radio; por el otro, a Ingram, quien al principio intenta probarle a su esposa, Elaine, obsesionada con el espiritismo tras la muerte de su hermano, Mark, que es imposible comunicarse con los muertos, y mucho menos regresarlos a la vida. Sin embargo, pone todo su empeño en comunicarse con el más allá a través de la tecnología (ver: Las nuevas tecnologías en la mecánica del Horror). Podemos asumir que Ingram cree estar fabricando un dispositivo de radio para comunicarse con Nyarlathotep, cuando en realidad es este quien le brinda la apertura mental y los conocimientos para hacerlo luego de que su esposa, Elaine, lo invoca mediante letanías tradicionales. En cualquier caso, y como a menudo sucede en los relatos de Lovecraft, el conocimiento de estos temas arcanos conduce a la locura y la muerte, en el mejor de los casos, o incluso a algo peor que eso. La guardia nocturna es un valioso aporte a los Mitos de Cthulhu, precisamente por ser la única contribución de Hugh B. Cave a este formidable ciclo literario. También vale la pena mencionar que el cuento fue escrito un par de años después de la muerte de Lovecraft, y publicado en una revista, Weird Tales, con la cual el autor no tenía demasiada afinidad. Todo esto, creo, puede ser interpretado como señales de un sincero y respetuoso homenaje al maestro de Providence.

In the first half, history professor and author William R. Forstchen spoke about preparedness, hardening the energy grid, and what we can learn from recent disasters, including the flood in North Carolina and the LA fires. Recounting his harrowing experiences in North Carolina during Hurricane Helene, he said there was major devastation, such as in the town of Swannanoa, which was "totally wiped out." Though he was without power for three weeks, he noted that that would be "nothing compared to what could happen if there's an EMP attack." Elaborating on the dangers of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks, he explained that they can be triggered by a nuclear detonation or a solar flare. An EMP would blow everything out within a second, affecting everything from high-tension power lines to aircraft in flight. He pointed out the alarming fact that many components of the US electrical grid are over 40 years old and in desperate need of modernization and strengthening.We have become so dependent on electricity, what happens when it no longer works? He urged listeners to consider their emergency preparedness, particularly regarding food and medication supplies. He expressed frustration over the lack of preparedness despite significant investments in green energy, arguing that the government spent billions, but the money should have gone into developing infrastructure. He is hopeful that the new presidential administration, along with local representatives, will turn their attention to protecting our electrical grid. On his property, Forstchen said he had a number of tall pine trees removed near his house that was luckily completed before the hurricane.------------In the latter half, author Marc Hartzman shared accounts of the weird and unusual, as well as presented his research on the fascinating practice of sword swallowing, documented in his new book "To the Hilt," co-written with sword swallower Dan Meyer. The project began seven years ago when Meyer, who has been swallowing swords for 25 years, approached Hartzman with a wealth of historical information about the art. Meyer's motivation to become a sword swallower stemmed from overcoming childhood bullying. The practice is absolutely genuine with rigorous training involved, and sword swallowers must master techniques to suppress their gag reflex and navigate the esophagus safely, Hartzman explained.He also recounted tragic historical incidents, including the story of Maud D'Auldin, who died after a blade nicked her esophagus during a performance. Among the strange stories he presented was that of Jim the Wonder Dog, an extraordinary "psychic" canine who could identify various tree species and even predict Kentucky Derby winners by selecting them with his paw. Hartzman detailed the chilling tale of the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula, who infamously cut the hair of young girls during World War II. "Parents were locking their windows at night, terrified of this hair-cutting intruder," he said. Additionally, Hartzman touched on the history of Ouija boards, noting their rise in popularity during the spiritualism movement of the late 1800s. He recalled a disturbing incident where a mother allegedly instructed her daughter to shoot her father after consulting a Ouija board. The daughter reportedly did so, though the father survived the shooting.
