    I always love reading or listening to this story. The image of what was found, especially the description of the ruins and its architecture, has always astounded me.
    Thanks for narrating this!

      You are not alone in your struggles, and we find ourselves drawn to the same places. Horror? To some extent. Solace, yes.
      You might also find relief in listening to Big Clive. Watching the bearded Manxman dissect weird electronic devices while listening to his soothing voice can be a strong somnificant.

    I heard HPL wrote this for St.Patrick's day. There was a gathering of other authors that day. I'd be interested to know who the other authors were and if they wrote any stories for the holiday.

      Omg I am so excited - RW Chambers is one of my absolute favorites! I’m a medievalist, and I have worked on MR James and especially Tolkien. Chambers is so brilliant and has been so neglected (until fairly recently)

    Ah, so that is why I forgot it. The locale was fantastic, the plot was tense, the mystery fascinating and it ends... with frogs. A bit underwhelming, and perhaps overexplained.
