Love the intro! Not sure I have the courage to listen to all of it... even though it's broad daylight! Your voice, as always, is fantastic to listen to. Kudos!
Another professional lovecraft reading is always a welcome thing, you breathe new life into that ancient, rotted corpse. (Ewww, the image that invokes) I saved it for Sunday night bedtime story
Thanks. One of the great things about creating audio books these days-googling pronunciations. It's amazing how quickly you can research the difficult words. But, I'm hampered from recording Japanese stories because I haven't found a source for phonetic pronunciations.-yet. I would like to record more stories from cultures all over the world. Cheers. E.E.F.
I commented on the intro 2yrs ago. Still find myself exceedingly happy to see you in the flesh. Hope all is well in your world. I'm always pleased to see a new post from you, but I have quite a long playlist to keep me company. 💜
Thanks, Violet. The on-camera stuff was done during the height of the pandemic when work was slow, and I was in quarantine. They were difficult to produce on my own, but I had time to try it. These days it's a challenge just to create a little audio offering once a week. At this point there are so many audios here, that even I can't always remember what's here....I appreciate that you listen and make kind comments. Be safe and well. E.E.F.
As an amateur herpetologist I recoiled in horror at the fate of those poor, sweet hatchlings at Audrey's evil hand! I can't articulate how satisfying the ending was! A thoroughly bone-chilling tale, magnificently narrated. Thank you, Mr French.
I agree that the crushing of the hatchlings is terrible. It's interesting, phantomb, that certain listeners are horrified by the "killing of the kitten" plot device in Stoker's "The Squaw" here on the channel. "Man's best friend" gets hideously abused here in "They Bite" and J. London's "Moonface." People are more appalled by the slaughter of nature's animals than any horrific punishment wreaked on a human being. And that's a legitimate reaction........Thanks for seeing this rather 'dark' fiction through to it's sad end. E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 earmarked those tales for future listening, many thanks. It is much easier to feel compassion for largely innocent animals than it is to feel compassion towards our fellow man.
@@phantomb8832 Very interesting.....even in de Maurier's "The Birds" posted here, there's less sympathy for the humans. Your post has pointed that out...E.E.F.
Why are people scared of snakes in general, when the venomous species are dangerous? And even those are somewhat beneficial because they eliminate rats/mice, (possibly) bugs... other humans. 😆 And, excellent narration, as always. 🙂
Fantastic reading. But that's hardly a surprise at this point. But was this not mostly Lovecraft though? Or he at least had a hand in it. I know "The Mound" was. Wew, good luck with that one.
I noted in the closing credits that H.P.L would "ghostwrite" some of Z.B. Bishops works. The story owes something to Lovecraft, but I thought I should give Z.B. all the credit on this one. I thought this was a bit more nuanced than his work is. More suspenseful too. E.E.F. (just my opinion)
Hi Justin- I'm sure I'll give MS Bishop another shot in the future. It was a pleasure presenting a female author of fantasy here this week. It's been reported that her writings were "ghost written" by H.P. Lovecraft, but I detect little of H.P.'s style in this story......although there is the reference to an "Eldrich Midnight." THANKS for listening! Cheers. E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 it lacks HPL's racism when talking about Indians. Ir does deal with them a bit paternally. If HPL was fully at the helm, the depiction would have been meaner
I love that you love it. Seriously....there are a lot of computer generated robo-narrators out there and a lot of audio book listeners like them better than real living- breathing readers.....this is why, as a flesh and blood narrator I will appear on screen more and more......it's possible that computer generated narrators will rule one day.....but for now...Thanks for listening. Cheers. E.E.F .
"Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?" Thanks for another outstanding reading, and the warning.
Thanks for listening Mr. Indiana Jones. E.E.F.
It's always a pleasure to hear your voice. The stories ate given the.readings, or performances, and respect they deserve.
Love the intro! Not sure I have the courage to listen to all of it... even though it's broad daylight! Your voice, as always, is fantastic to listen to. Kudos!
I looooooooove your readings, it's such a masterpiece
THANKS Crystal Moet (love that name). E.E.F.
I actually gasped at the ending.
A brilliant story - well told sir!
I like that you've added a bit of humor to each story with your introductions, they always make me laugh! Keep up the good work! 👍
It's fun. I'm glad to hear that! Cheers! E.E.F.
The Great Old Ones would approve! 🐙

Amazingly fluid pronunciation of those Native American names, Sir-very enjoyable!!

As always, an excellent reading.
These excellent narrations are now greatly enhanced by your introductions.
Many thanks for this gruesome tale.
Thanks, Offshore. I hope you're enduring the pandemic. Cheers! E.E.F.
Great readings! Just found your channel, and it's been a great experience to listen to your performances.
second time. F--, that was good!!!
yup, if you’re lucky, do all those things you mentioned!! 🌷🌱
My god the finest narrator ever. Love the introductions thank you for making the dismal 2020 bearable x
Thanks, lori.......These amusements also help relieve me from the reality without. Be well! E.E.F.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!
I know what you mean. It's a twisted but satisfying weird tale. E.E.F.
Interesting. I jjjjjyst hear of this story. You just uploaded. Excellent! Thank you
Yet another great narrative very much enjoyed, I always look forward to everything you choose, stay safe my friend.
THANKS, Darren. I'm glad you enjoy the variety of weirdness on the channel. I'm in quarantine.....but I'm still viral on the internet. Cheers. E.E.F.
Radio time machine! Scariest part was the gargle of the Whatsit. Are you injured? Love it all.
Not sure what the "whatsit" is you refer to, but I'm O.K. Hope YOU are, too. Cheers. E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 My bad - forgot Audrey's name.
This is fantastic. You have the perfect voice for these stories!
Thanks Mark. I do love me some old time radio. cheers! E.E.F.
Awesome intro, great story.
THANK YOU for the warning. Like, a lot lol
I've read it before but don't really remember the details, so I'll lsiten at home.
Why are people scared of snakes in general, when the venomous species are dangerous? And even those are somewhat beneficial because they eliminate rats/mice, (possibly) bugs... other humans. 😆 And, excellent narration, as always. 🙂
You’re voice is a mixture of Keith David and Denethor from LOTR with a slight tinge of Vincent Price.
At least as good as The Rats in the Walls for a bedtime story to send kiddos nighty-night. Reanimator is good bedtime fare too...
I'm sorry to miss this tale. But I'll take your advice. I have a desperate phobia concerning the reptile.
I'm sorry to hear that......but listening could be therapeutic? No promises or guarantees, but i hope you'll check it out sometime. Be well. E.E.F.
The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society just released a multi-cast dramatic version of "The Curse of Yig".
Rory- I'm aware of that but haven't heard it. Have You? Do you prefer the dramatization or the reading-and why? Cheers. E.E.F.
I like both.
Fantastic reading. But that's hardly a surprise at this point.

@@FrenchEdward06 Understandable. Didn't see that. I tend to leave these going in the background.
I love this story. Any chance you could possibly do Bishop's "The Mound" as well.

@@jonathanwpressman Ah! You make a good point. Thank You. E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 you're welcome good friend! August Derlath (I think that's his name) was the same way when approaching indigenous people.
H.P. Lovecraft wrote all of this based on two sentences by Bishop..it's easy to research.
I always thought this story was by lovecraft
I love this intro ❤💋🥰

I'm almost too scared to listen!
Oh, go on! It's no way more terrifying than a world wide pandemic. E.E.F.
