ARRRR!!! Ya gotta LOVE a hot pirate chick!!

Aren't many folk "horrors" passed down, word of mouth, through generations in communities? Those who take up studies often rely on interviews, personal accounts through documents and letters, etc. It's great to come up with solid sources of ideas in books, but I don't ignore the work of those who go out in the field.

I first read this when i was in high back in 89-90. It was the last story in Bran Mak Morn and Turlogh has been my favorite REH character ever since. I have waited so long for someone to make a movie about this story but i fear it will never happen. Who knows though? Either way Robert outdid himself with this one. This story is Legendary. Turlogh is one of two warriors to fight with the last great king of the Picts in a time out of mind. One, King Kull, to keep the Norsemen from leaving a battle the Picts had to win and two, Turlogh whose life was saved by the Pictish kings spirit over respect from one warrior to another. Like i said, Legendary!

Give us more Robert E. Howard! Good reading, astute comments, good job!

More R.E.H. please!

*Jackson's* writing is so emotional it is almost unbearable in its bones, in the souls & spirits of her characters

Excellent! I've been wanting to hear the rest of Munn's werewolf stories. Can't wait for part 2!

Your channel is lit

Very much enjoyed and became informed of Folk Horror. I wonder if Folk Horror in non-Western countries feels more..natural since many of the horror stories I grew up stem from the stories of old folks and people who grew up in rural provinces. And had influenced many authors and filmmakers. But then again, there's more emphasis on the folk monster or mythical creature, rather than old rituals

So much pulpy goodness! Thank you!

Can’t wait to listen! The last 2 stories from this author were great!

Exciting! I will tune in, but I'll be late, catching it at 9pm instead of 7AM. Keep the corpses warm for me.

Yes!

I wouldn't want to give up my partying and festival fun because of some outsiders coming in and staying it's 'bad'. We've had fun all these generations!!

Were these types of Howard stories an inspiration for Fire & Ice?

Your pronunciation of the Polish "ł" is perfect, respect! Awesome story, thanks for sharing.

Superbly written. I was in those woods, in that water, savouring this dark tale as if transported into the world you've created. The foreshadowing was such a great touch. Thank you so much for sharing your talent ✨️🍄🌲

The fact that there is only one definition for "seduction" shows a limited imagination. For me it should mean getting what one wants (not sex) but in such a way that it leaves the person unsatisfied or unhappy. "Be careful what you wish for because you might get it" kind of thing. 🤔

Great video ! All his stories are great. His story kali has a horrific ending

Im listening to this while doing my homework as my final exams are in 2 weeks, i hope it brings me luck

A treasure! First time in fifty years of admiration that I hear the Sorcerer himself.

Wonderful! Thank you

Who's more influential? Dee Snider Dee Reynolds Dee Maupassant

Overstayed?

Gods own medicine (morphine). It eased the pain of these people to be able to continue their work. Dr Quincy had T.B. without opium he would had never been able to complete his memoirs. 🧑‍🎨♾️🌸

I think it’s interesting that these folk horror films coined as feminist often expect women rejecting society as society has failed them. The fear of status quo being less desirable than the unknown.

giggling ab "self medicating with ETHER" what a late 19th century ass thing to do😭

There's an old Vincent Price film called "Diary of a Madman" loosely based on La Horla and Letter of a Madman.

Some of these ideas about a hidden reality that we as humans are unable to comprehend with the 5 senses are very similar to modern scientific theories. Specifically that of Donald Hoffman. Check out his book The Case Against Reality if you want to delve into the scientific side of the hidden universe theory.

Mustache game go crazy

Have you ever had a night terror? Or sleep paralysis? Very real!

Funny how so many great creatives of the past seemed to have some kind of disease or illness affecting their mind and that we are still enjoying the fruits of their creativity. Really enjoyed this essay, thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed one his stories on Horror Babble. Can't recall the title.

Thanks , much respect 🙏

Cool upload! Loving this additional “deep dive”! Cheers!

What a Guy.

Thank you for this video essay on Guy de Maupassant. Excellent.

One of the few books I read in high school. I'll never forget it

I enjoy your readings but the extra commentary at the end elevated the experience even more. Thanks!

what's funny is the new puss and boots movie very much follows this same basic formula too!

“Ignoramus”, I think would have been the correct word for the inheritor whose scholarly knowledge was not up to par for the course he was to play upon. Though I must say this fool is presented with a bit less priggishness & empathy by the writer than the narrator. Enjoyable. Personally, I would love to have the grounded, historical connection to an inheritance with such deep roots to one’s family tree. (Some other life…) Thank you for your exceptional narration & fine story choices. Greatly appreciated. Evélan Patton P.s, .au is down under, isn’t it? Cascadian, Pacific Northwest America, US/Canada. Cheers!

The sea here is actually ab-natural (carnakie) as it turns the natural love of a mother for a child and a woman for a man into the opposite. It doesn’t just make people fight, it creates an evil, inversion of the spirit. It’s a great story. In fact most of WHH are - I still am scared of eating mouldy bread after reading “A voice in the night”.

I'd never heard of this story. It's great! Loved the analysis at the end.

I like that this is sort of timeless, I can't decide if it's set in the future or the distant past. Adds to the bleakness
