Fantastic story and narration! This story is a true gem. CAS built wonderful worlds and filled them with terrible beasts. I always wondered how the city became abandoned while listening to it being mentioned in his other stories. This tale tells how that happened. This is a truly splendid yarn! Thanks!

Harley Warren and Randolph Carter pressed ever on, descending even deeper into the Stygian gloom of that aeons old forgotten crypt. "Not much further now, Gandalf," said Warren. "Will you please stop doing that," said Randolph Carter, "' I've asked you repeatedly not to." "Stop doing what," asked Harley Warren archly ? "Stop calling me Gandalf, " said Randolph Carter, " it’s really starting to get on my nerves."

There was a lot of dark and fantastic horror years back -- plus true crime, film noir, liberal sexuality, etc., until a reaction against it, and against dark comics especially, occurred -- inspired, perhaps, by the real-life horror overdose of the Depression, followed by WWII, followed by the Cold War and the ever-present threat of nuclear annihilation. Things loosened up some in the late fifties through the early eighties -- then changed again for a while due to the rise of AIDS and other factors, such as violent crime & drugs spinning out of control. Anyway, things seem to go through cycles. There were wild times in the twenties; and prostitution, was, for example, much more open and accepted during parts of the 1800's -- the years of riverboat gamblers & the wild West. Hell, cocaine and meth were legal for many years! Even in Roman times, as I understand it, there were emperors who instituted moral reforms, and emperors who loved to party to the max. We tend to think of things sort of evolving gradually, and usually getting looser and freer. But history seems to never show for long a straight line.

No, this is a different Hyperborea. The one in the Conan stories was one of the countries constituting the Hyborian continent. This Hyperborea is itself a continent.
You fool, Warren is dead. Slain by an anthrophagic 'orror, um horror. I wonder if cremation would've changed things. Imagine if some explorer found the ruins of the city and the remains of the creature and then they brought it to a major museum. Would the British Museum lose even more of its charm? Kudos to the narrator and author 🎉🎉🎉
Where's the beef'? 😅 - story of a guy, loosing his head. While eating out. Devouring life' and' living like he's gonna die' tommorow. As society' keeps him coming back' for more. He's a prime example. For the longevity, benifits. Of sticking to the atkin's diet. He liked that town so much, he just ate it up.
You have to remember that a lot of these chaps in the pulp days were literally remunerated financially by the word. It's quite fun to try writing with the maximum number of words. But I agree, it could use tightening up.

It seems like common sense would tell you to do that, or put the body in a vat of burning oil!
I enjoyed the story, but that was driving me crazy. Just burn it!

Clark Ashton Smith was a true word smith, even more so than Lovecraft. Always love to see his stuff narrated.

HAHAHA NICE ONE 👍
What a truly weird tale! Thanks for a wonderful performance.
I apparently picked a good time to load up youtube.
Yep. Seems there's more good channels out there than ever
Excellent writing and narration

Fantastic. The description of the monster makes me think of the baddies in Resident Evil.
That was literally my first thought too
It is in fact alien related to Tsathaggua the god from Saturn or perhaps more alien climes.
Thanks!
YES! I've been looking forward to you tackling this one! Great Story, Great Read!
Thank you ❤
Love this story.
Thanks for covering it, Ian 🤘
Me too.
Absolutely epic many thanks Ian!😎👊

Why only 109 (110 now XD) comments. This channel should have millions for the great work Ian does bringing these stories alive!
Always interesting to hear "backstory" of places name-dropped in other books.
I would never have believed that a magazine like Weird Tales would have existed in the 1930s ! 😮
Why is that?
I wish i could fly.

I think Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun must have owed something to this story!
Terminus Est. Great books.
Sapha Goo-ah was in The Mound. That’s what my memory is telling me.
Black N'kai below red litten Yoth.

Good choice!
I read the baddies name like it was Jonathan. Naga is a snake man so Naga-than made sense to me. Lol.
That non-human creature is incredible and loathsomely redolent of alien spheres of evolution.

It's on the list! "The Coming of the White Worm" will be the next 'worm' tale though.

"sir why not try burning him?"
One wonders at such and experiment would produce.
Dang they just left the monster there. We need a sequel where they try to destroy it lol
It is beyond their power to fight it.
Can you do Fear by Achmed Abdullah? I think your voice would fit perfectly
Hmm... I'm not familiar with that one. I'll check it out.
This reminds me of Conan. I wonder if it's set in the same world? I know the Conan universe is set in Post-Atlantean Hyperborea
No, this is a different Hyperborea. The one in the Conan stories was one of the countries constituting the Hyborian continent. This Hyperborea is itself a continent.

Where does the artwork in the video come from? Is it human made, it looks artificial to me, it feels slightly off
7:25 am I hearing random autotune in the middle of that sentence?!
that's just confusing
Ha! No - though admittedly it appears that I sang that particular word.
If they gave him a life sentence, all this would not have happen.
They could've simply cut up the body and cremated it.
He would have still escaped.
