In this weeks episode we are following the usual format. Firstly the show opens with part 14 of "Through the Brazillian Wilderness".

The music is a 1929 track called Marianne by the Adrian Schubert orchestra.

For the main feature we have a story by Rudyard Kipling called "The Mark of the Beast" which is read for us by William Coon.

I plan to run another H.P. Lovecraft story next week, hmmm... which one?

45 The Rats in the Walls, Part 2

Today we continue the reading of Through the Brazillian Wilderness, part 13 in fact.

Then we have a musical number from Marrion Harris, a rousing martial 1918 piece.

The main feature in todays shows is the second part of the short story by H.P. Lovecraft called "The Rats in the walls". Howard wrote the story in 1923 but it wasn't published until 1924, when it appeared in Weird Tales. Apparently the first gem of inspiration was provided by a night time crack that appeared in the wallpaper. - From such little things, such great things can appear!

The new opening music is provided by VĂ­ctor Valdez, from the Symbol project. It's part of a great collection that you can download for free. Victor also has a web site that I suggest you check out.
