Very nicely read, my friend, well done!

[@RolandWieffering1]

I can't take any credit for the reading, I found the stories online and downloaded them. I can only wish my English is that good. But I am glad you liked the story.

[@The4362mont]

well, you chose wisely then! So many are not as nicely narrated...curating is important too, thx!

[@jamesb.8940]

Another good read :)

Great reading. But this is not the same text as is in The Gods of Bal-Sagoth, published in 1979 by Ace Books.

Ok, no.

Ah the 1930's were a wonderful time. All jokes aside we're not in much better shape now. You'll probably instinctively scoff but the US is a horrifying place, a corporate sociopath's dream where delusion and apathy reign supreme. It's sort of cosmic horror because you would be forever changed by truly grasping it and unfortunately (unlike the 20's & 30's) our minds/subconscious are too strategically stretched to break. The release of insanity never comes so you've got to cope, so basically selling your soul.

A g****a's ghost? Welp, why not? But seriously, it feels like the racism is just unnecessarily jammed in the story at awkward bits, which unfortunately marrs much of Robert E Howard's great stories. Spolier: Gorilla, although you should know this if you listened to the whole tale, unless you wanted to get spoiled in the comments.

No one cares

It really was as different time. Not excusing it but it goes to show how far we've come to reduce racism.
