Hmm?

Easy to get a hold of you say ? And hey if you like a challenge ;p

@@WeirdWonderful There are at least some copies for sale, unlike some of the books you have covered! 😂

@@mostlyholy6301 Sure if you like to have it too easy 😂

I hope you find it....and not pay too much for it :0

@@WeirdWonderful 👍

Jelinek seemed content to basically use Ewers' story as reason for his own existing, but I feel he didn't add enough of his own to the scenario so it is kind of anemic.

​@@WeirdWonderful thanks for the reply. do you think that someone who hasn't experienced anything "supernatural" can truly enjoy this sort of fiction? like most people go after repeatability.

@@low3242 Of course, I do and I have never experienced anything supernatural : D

@@WeirdWonderful please review Hollow Faces, Merciless Moons by William Scott Home

@@low3242 Haven't heard of this one yet, have to look it up.

It's more, he pretended to write a romance, just so he could then spend 60 pages going on a lecture instead, and on the last page he admits he tricked his audience I didn't mention he already had a different scene with an archaeologist going on about ancient Sumerian myths, the locations of dig sites, and the history of various digs in the region. Again I would like this if it was used as part of the story, not just have these parroted at the reader.

That was what he changed his name to yes XD

A man who had run out of things to study and had to turn to the devil in order to advance his knowledge... upon going into hiding changes his name from Faust to F Aust? 😂

Issues ? Also what price ?

@@WeirdWonderful 😅 PRIZE 🏆 … the audio sounds like you were recording in multiple locations. 🤔 well that’s ironic, my word Prize turned into Price … fascinating coincidence. lol

@@StephenRansom47 No I recorded it in one spot. Is it bad ?

@@StephenRansom47 Sorry, can you see my last response, as I can't. Just said I recorded in one location and asked if the audio was bad in your opinion. :O

Thanks you :D No, it's just a lot of weird stuff goes down, it is very much based on old German fairy tale lore, where messed up things happen all the time.

Thanks ! I will ^^

I have wanted to read some Hyne before.

“The Lost Continent” and the short story “The Lizard” are available on KZbin in audio versions. Hyne, a contemporary of Conan Doyle, was famous for his popular Captain Kettle stories. Unfortunately, they aren’t likely to be revived. As L. Sprague de Camp related, Hyne’s stories were “...informed with the most offensive ruling-class, master-race snobbery that one can imagine. They all can be summed up as “Watch the brave British lad, punch, kick, stab, shoot, or otherwise dispose of all the dirty Italians, Negros, Chinese, Jews, Germans, Yanks, and other foreign vermin.” At least “the Lost Continent” and “The Lizard” are free of this rancid prejudice.

“The Lost Continent” and the short story “The Lizard” are on KZbin as audiobooks. Hyne, a contemporary of Conan Doyle , was a successful author best known for his popular Captain Kettle stories. Unfortunately, it's now unlikely those stories will ever be revived. As L. Sprague de Camp related in his introduction to the 1974 Train reprint of “The Lost Continent”. Hyne’s stories “...are informed with the most offensive ruling-class, master-race snobbery that one can imagine. They can all be summed up as ‘Watch the brave British lad punch, kick, stab, shoot, or otherwise dispose of all the dirty Italians, Africans, Chinese, Jews, Germans, Yanks, and other foreign vermin.’ (At least, Hyne was impartial in his xenophobia, viewing all foreigners with equal hatred and contempt.)” “The Lost Continent” and “The Lizard” are free of Hyne’s revolting prejudices, and are enjoyable to read (or listen to, depending). I recomend them.@@WeirdWonderful

Thanks ! Glad you liked it :D

Well, yes ?

I heard about it but not sure if it's as good as this book. Of course I'd need to find it to review it first. Also it's a novella, which is around 30 pages if memory serves ? Also I understand Czech, Slovak (seems like cheating but it's true), English, German and Polish.

I can try !

The wrong side of the tracks ?

@@WeirdWonderful My dad is a Coal Miner, or I’m from a poor family… The poor part of town- The Other Side of the Tracks.

I'm sorry I will try to improve, I will see what I can do.

Thanks !!!

I can't read Russian either : O

If only this book was at all accessible, only copy I can find online is over $2,000!

@@mostlyholy6301 I haven't looked. But I sympathize, I'm seeing the same sort of thing with the collections of H.R. Wakefield.

Well he never becomes a child so at least the potentially odd and disturbing aspect of this isn't touched on. *shudders* Mind you Oliver Onions wrote something with the same basic idea in "The Tower of Oblivion" from 1921.

That's a secret ;)

@@WeirdWonderful 😂

Oh it is an enjoyable read, I hope you didn't get the impression it was not from what I said : O

Oh ?

I thought you'd describe it more in depth if I said that, but please do sell it to me : D

Not read much from Hearn but I can try :D

Hanns Heinz Ewers

I think you may find that a bit difficult as it has never been re-published since 1905 and it's not been digitized :O

@@WeirdWonderful How odd, his other books seem to be in print, but no sign of this one. Some complicated rights issue, perhaps?

@@mostlyholy6301 No, it came out in 1905.
