That siren song though 😬
What a great piece. I'm laid up in a hotel room sick and lonely, bingeing your back catalog along with a few other things. Thank you for making all this great material!
Thanks again, Jeffrey!
This story’s theme seems right at home with all the internet stories regarding liminal spaces and the eerie feeling of dread they generate.
Awesome!! Can't get enough Clark Ashton Smith!! Thank you very much!!
This was a very interesting story.
Great job, Ian! Thanks.
a gem often overlooked ~ thanx once again I can't get enough of this stuff!!!!
I am absolutely and unabashedly addicted. Well done.
This one always gets to me on a deeper level than most.
It makes me wary of going to my barn, especially after dark, as it sits in a low, damp bowl built (not by me) on the alluvial soil of an old land slip that creates a half bowl of almost vertical walls on three sides where old dead trees lean over the edge and each rainfall causes them to threaten their collapse more and more.
Within the past few years the living oaks, pines and poplars have been attacked by invasive, non local fungi which are slowly killing them as well.
From being my natural refuge in a busy world, the whole aspect has become, well, infected. I can't think of another word that fits, and I've tried. My horse and donkeys are reluctant to enter it, even for food and to escape into the fans and shade in the heat and bugs of summer.
The change in the feel of the place is remarkable, to all of us, and this story captures it beautifully. Thank you for offering it to us. Makes me know it's not just me.
Cannot believe that I had never heard of this writer until a short while ago. I am now addicted to his work and the narration is perfect. Thanks for both the story and the voice, both are a perfect way to end the day. Well done all involved I cannot recommend this channel or thanks those behind it enough.
My favourite Ashton Smith story. It ranks alongside MR James "Whistle" in the world's best spooky spirit stories
Magnificent. I can't get enough of your work. I particularly like this one
Man, now I want a follow-on story where someone discovers or inherits 4 oil paintings and 2 watercolor drawings depicting a stagnant meadow pool of ineffably sinister character, and becomes obssessed with solving their mystery...
This is one of my favorite short stories.
There is a sunken pool deep in the forests near a small town I lived in for a short time. You follow an off trail to an off trail and then a deer trail into the tightly packed maples and underbrush to the clearing.....
Another of my favorite authors and a native Californian like myself. He may have been born in So Cal, but he was 100% Nor Cal in heart and mind!
California sucks
@@ViktoriousDead Yes it does. Just like yo mamma.
I always appreciate how you share the year the story was written or released. I’ve always been interested in associated facts like that.
Thanks again for keeping me entertained and helping me sleep.
I really like this story, it's creepy AF.
Thank you!!
This will be a good Clark Ashton Smith. Great Choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live for your offerings of Ashton Clark Smith, thanks for this! Fastastic narration, as always!
Cheers mate!
Thank you for your rendition. Hope you enjoyed your holiday
You're back! And with a fantastic story.
What a classic! Thanks, CAS isn’t nearly as well known as he should be.
Well here we are...this should be great...
Kind off reminds me of Stephen King's N, about a man who becomes obsessed with a field and the stonehenge-like structure in it.
Hey guys, what's the best place to download some of your audiobooks in preparation for a road trip?
They are on Bandcamp, Audible and Spotify. Have a great trip!
Viperous inchoate puff. Feeding the puff. Voracious Puff.
Scary-as-shit cool!!!🖤☻💀☠🦇👻🕷🕸
I find it very hard to imagine a sinister meadow!
"Loci" actually isn't pronounced "low-sigh". It's pronounced more like "low-key". GOD that triggers me.
Our reference for the word was the Cambridge Dictionary: dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/loci
I'm not disagreeing with you though, as I believe linguists are revising their interpretation of Latin these days. I don't speak Latin, so it's always a tough call. Ian
