I have loved this author for almost 50 years now.

It was nice to hear Fritz read his own story :-)

2:17 I'm adopting this as my personal motto

Fritz is awesome!

[@shawnporter5109]

Loved this story and Catch that Zeppelin. I think Rush song Roll The Bones title was inspired by story

[@michaelgreaves2375]

That's Fritz Leiber narrating? He sounds like Joseph Cotton. Great classic SF story!

[@c.7610]

My God, you’re right. He does sound like Joseph Cotten!

[@PFNel]

I thought he sounded like Hal Holbrook!

[@PFNel]

It's not the complete story, though. In the original there's a scene at Joe's home before he leaves for the Boneyard.

Really great story. One of my early favorites. It's... interesting to hear him read it, but i don't like his style. I'll stick with my inner voice for this gem of a tall tale.🎲🎲

Fritz Leiber narrating sounds like Charles Bukowski I have alot of his Personal Read poety

[@Begin96054]

I don't understand the ending, did his wife create the Big Gambler? Is she a witch?

[@Puritan1985]

I am confused as well.
