Henry S. Whitehead was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on March 5, 1882, and graduated from Harvard University in 1904 (in the same class as Franklin D. Roosevelt).[3] As a young man he led an active and worldly life in the first decade of the 20th century, playing football at Harvard University, editing a Reform democratic newspaper in Port Chester, New York, and serving as commissioner of athletics for the AAU.He later attended Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Connecticut, and in 1912 he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church. During 1912-1913 he worked as a clergyman in Torrington, Connecticut. From 1913 to 1917 he served as rector in Christ's Church, Middletown, Connecticut.[2] From 1918 to 1919 he was Pastor of the Children, Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City.[2]He served as Archdeacon of the Virgin Islands from 1921 to 1929.[1] While there, living on the island of St. Croix, Whitehead gathered the material he was to use in his tales of the supernatural.[2] A correspondent and friend of H. P. Lovecraft, Whitehead published stories from 1924 onward in Adventure, Black Mask, Strange Tales,[3] and especially Weird Tales. In his introduction to the collection Jumbee, R. H. Barlow would later describe Whitehead as a member of "the serious Weird Tales school".[3] Many of Whitehead's stories are set on the Virgin Islands and draw on the history and folklore of the region. Several of these stories are narrated by Gerald Canevin, a New Englander living on the islands and a fictional stand-in for Whitehead.[2] Whitehead's supernatural fiction was partially modelled on the work of Edward Lucas White and William Hope Hodgson.[3] Whitehead's "The Great Circle" (1932) is a lost-race tale with sword and sorcery elements.[3]In later life, Whitehead lived in Dunedin, Florida, as rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd and a leader of a boys' group there. H. P. Lovecraft was a particular friend as well as a correspondent of Whitehead's, visiting him at his Dunedin home for several weeks in 1931. Lovecraft recorded in his letters that he entertained the boys with readings of his stories such as "The Cats of Ulthar". Lovecraft said of Whitehead: "He has nothing of the musty cleric about him; but dresses in sports clothes, swears like a he-man on occasion, and is an utter stranger to bigotry or priggishness of any sort."Whitehead suffered from a long-term gastric problem, but an account of his death by his assistant suggests he died from a fall or a stroke or both.[1] He died late in 1932, but few of his readers learned about this until an announcement and brief profile, by H. P. Lovecraft, appeared in the March 1933 Weird Tales, issued in Feb 1933. Whitehead was greatly mourned and missed by lovers of weird fiction at his death.[4]R. H. Barlow collected many of Whitehead's letters, planning to publish a volume of them; but this never appeared, although Barlow did contribute the introduction to Whitehead's Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales (1944).

The folk tales collected and rewritten by the Brothers Grimm may ‘seem to come from nowhere and to belong to everyone', Colin Burrow wrote recently in the LRB, but ‘this is an illusion'. In the latest episode of the LRB podcast, Colin joins Thomas Jones to talk about the distinctive place and time in which Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm lived and worked, as well as the enduring appeal and ‘vital weirdness' of the tales.Sponsored links:Visit the Munch exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery: https://www.npg.org.uk/munchSee The Years at the Harold Pinter Theatre: https://theyearsplay.com Hosted on Acast.

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.

A reading of HP Lovecraft's "The Outsider," first published in the April, 1926 issue of Weird Tales, and first read here by Tod in January, 2025. As this is a horror podcast, it may not be for everyone.

I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Dorothy Gertrude Quick was born in Brooklyn on September 1st 1896. She was a prolific writer of horror, detective fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Dorothy was a girl of 11 when she met Mark Twain, actually Samuel L. Clemens, on an Atlantic crossing from England. She was returning to Plainfield, N.J., from Europe with her parents. Recognizing Twain by his wavy hair and white suit, she walked around and around the deck, passing very slowly by his chair each time, until he finally came over and introduced himself.It was the beginning of a friendship that was to last until the very day of his death. After the voyage she received a telegram from Twain asking whether she would prefer as a birthday present "one elephant or 10,000 monkeys." She replied that she would prefer his books - which he sent her, along with a tiny white elephant. If you've seen the 1991 TV movie “Mark Twain and Me” well now you know who wrote it.We will find our story on page 32 in Weird Tales magazine published in November 1952, The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied it.

On September 13th, 1848, a dynamite blast rocketed a 43-inch long, 13-pound iron bar completely through the skull of 25-year-old railway worker Phineas Gage. It landed some eighty feet away, covered in Phineas' blood and brains. And after a few minutes, Phineas got up, started talking, walked over to an oxcart, rode it to the hotel where he was staying, sat on the porch and waited to speak with a doctor. Not long after the doctor arrived, he vomited and more of his brain fell out of his head. And he just... kept... talking... For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

An unusual story, about the darkness that settled like a black cloud, and the horror that came with it. Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today marks the debut of an author I had never heard of, and yet he was one of the most prolific authors during the pulp fiction era. Some say he wrote more than 1,200 stories, others say it was only 1,000. Our author says he wrote more than 800 stories in the 1930s.Hugh B. Cave was born in Chester, England, in 1910 and relocated during his childhood with his family to Boston, Massachusetts, shortly after the beginning of World War I. After World War II he moved to Jamaica where he rebuilt and managed a successful coffee plantation. He returned to the United States in the early 1970s after the Jamaican government confiscated his plantation.Cave is celebrated for his mastery in horror, fantasy, and science fiction, although his work also included westerns, romance, crime and non-fiction. With an impressive body of work that spans over seven decades, Cave penned hundreds of short stories, more than 20 novels, and screenplays that captivated audiences with their gripping narratives as you are about to discover. Three of his stories were adapted for television in the 1950s.Let's go back in time to October 1932 and open Weird Tales magazine to page 522, Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B.
