The King in Yellow strikes back!

Comments

Wait, it's NOT "make end's meat!?" I thought it was about bringing home the bacon!

Chad finally goes public with the truth about the very powerful Dracula Lobby. I really liked the show about books. As a former librarian it's no surprise that I love talking about books. I was waiting for you guys to go into detailed lists of your collections of rare and cursed tomes of profane and forbidden knowledge. Maybe on the next book episode. PS - I know you guys hate those forbidden books lists, but (again, former librarian here), I am so here for them.

Soho in London was named for the hunting cry, a bit like Tally-Ho. In NYC it means South of Houston, but also references London, because we're better. Isn't there a Soma in SF?

Like the chance encounter of an umbrella and a sewing-machine on a dissection table, the Songs of Maldoror is indeed great.

Digging the cool vibes at the end. When will we see the Fifer-Nunez combo in action?

Isn't Monkey Zunkle the chief henchman of Dr. Gazpacho Bidet?

I dunno what could possibly equal "The King in Yellow", but Edward Bond's "Early Morning" is one of the most disturbing plays I've ever read, and supernatural/sacreligious too! Though like all his works AFAIK, it's motivated not by Symbolist Decadence but by a sort of leftist anger & despair.

I tell you, it’s sobering when Chad or Chris read some names with evident delight and playful additions, when others just get a curt name. I guess it beats the inevitable day when I hear “Larsen, that pompous jerk, says...” Not that that would be unfair, mind you.

AHA! A fellow librarian has surfaced. Your listeners should be aware that Night Vale only scratches the surface of our true nature.

The Jungle Book actually holds up pretty damn well (it's way less casually racist than much of Kipling's other stuff). Worth a read.

Pompous jerks unite! I write my comments and then when they get read out I cringe because I sound so self important.

It is true. We are some of the most fearsome creatures imaginable.

We all know Lackey is a bloodless shill for big Dracula!

I wish I were trolling Lackey but no...just forgetting I don't know you guys in real life and then being like "They don't know you. Stop giving unsolicited advice and commenting on digestion." Still my “fav.”

Good show but in 1974 L. Ron Hubbard only wrote the Navy for some medals (he didn’t earn) ,earlier in his life several times he asked for disability payments.Not only would he never ask for psychiatric help at that time in 1974 he was hiding out from 2 different countries and maybe more.He lived on The Apollo from about 1968-1975 and went from place to place with the Sea Org.A group of young kids ,called “the messagers “who worked on the ship delivering direct quotes to other crew members ,are now the main leadership in Scientology.The amount of disinformation around Hubbard is insane,both positive and negative.His son’s Ron DeWolf claims are incredibly insane.

I wouldn't mind a minute or two on Annihilation's strong links to Colour Out of Space since you're headed into Colour Out of Space territory... But I'll probably just spend the next week or so wondering if maybe I am a librarian after all. I mean, I don't think I'm a librarian. But maybe that's how it starts.

I’ve been wondering when would be the appropriate time to shamefully admit (as a trekkie I wholly endorse the splitting of every infinitive in existence) something. Between the ages of 10 and 12, I devoured practically all of Hubbard’s scif/fantasy stories. This would be the early 70’s and I assume they were part of other collections, though I recall at least one hardback with L. Ron Hubbard on the cover. Whether I got these from a library or some other childhood friend I really don’t remember. Most of the stories have long faded from memory, but I more or less recall liking Kingslayer (I suspect that’s what the hardback was – a collection of short stories) and Fear, a horror short story, though when I went back to read some of them in my twenties, they all seemed to suffer, not surprisingly, from subverted or more often openly overt misogyny and disdain for anything that could be called “the thinking man.” Mostly men of action trying to save undeserving women from aliens or other horrors. By this time, I was in college and enduring (as I wrote a millennia ago when we discussing H.P.’s sexuality) all the various trendy literary theories like deconstruction and all the other post-structuralism schools like various feminist approaches. I remember one of the umpteenth times when some prof mentioned Lovecraft (and/or Howard and/or Smith) in the most dismissive of passings with some sneer about closet cases and I thought “How about L. Ron Hubbard?” He never wrote about a woman he didn’t think better off dead, metaphorically or literally, and if you think Lovecraft’s Carter and Warren are some kind of gay stand-in, you really ought to have a look at Hubbard’s buddies in arms in his tales, who if they don’t end up murdering one another (normally ‘cause of some gal), they’re standing more broad-shoulder and horizon gazing than anything ever dreamt of by Ayn Rand. But maybe even in a college in the deep South, they were hesitant to risk the wrath of the crew of the Sea Org (I’d so love to make a Minnow joke here, but coming up with nothing, “…the professor and no more engrams and…” Well the shameful part is (sorry for the long windedness, but I’ll claim quarantine stir-craziness), was that around the age of 13, I came across a copy of Dianetics, and not having heard anything down South about this crazy Hollywood religion, I just saw Hubbard’s name, a flashy cover and thought, “Oh he wrote a big ‘ol scifi novel that I’ve never heard of.” To compound the shame, I must’ve read about a quarter of it before I finally realized that it wasn’t his typical Buck Rogers/John Carter ripoff. I’ll offer as an excuse that I was deep deep in my Arthur C. Clarke and ever more so Asimov’s Foundation phase, so with Hubbard going on and on about the dangers of psychology I think I thought it was some kind of set up for a fight with little green Freudians. I’ve always wondered if any other geeks of my generation or earlier got hoodwinked into E-metering their thetans. Well I’d better stop. Pretty sure this might bring one of those letters to me or Patreon. As always, I hope everyone is well and staying so.

Do we have a HPLLP drinking game? If not, we should start one. First rule: one drink for every mention of Manimal.

Hear hear! Though I admit, when I first read the comment they mentioned Ladyhawke came to mind, not Manimal.

Have you recently been bitten by a librarian? It's not uncommon.

Looking forward to your reviews on the episodes in the future!

I just heard the news. Chris and Chad, you have my condolences.

I briefly spoke with him at an H P Lovecraft film festival. I expressed gratitude for his films, and he seemed to really appreciate my feedback. I was moved by his sincerity and graciousness.

Did anyone ever read a short story if Yellow King mythos that described the escape from a prison bus that went off road into a lake and the woman protagonist had to swim accross to a strange deserted myst covered shore to be pursued by a strange shape wearing tathered yellow garnements, then taking refuge in a weird house with 3 weird women? I know read that somewhere and it was great stuff but can’t find it again in my 6’ pile of mythos books...

Make end's meat? Dude, that's pork butt.

I don’t know if anybody’s mentioned this, but in episode 124: HPL Historical Time Machine, Mr. Leman did go into the history of the colour King’s Yellow, as referenced in this episode. I also really want that book of pigments mentioned in this episode!

That story is the The River of Night's Dreaming, by Karl Edward Wagner. It's considered a bit of a classic among that author's works. I think a copy of the King in Yellow play pops up in the story as well.

Really, it’s a pigment of your imagination....

Aw, hell. Thanks for the ref- I went back and re-listened to the story episodes before I posted, but missed this one.

I read The Jungle Books the firsttime shortly before I was nine and they had a huge impact on me. My parents were pretty strict about not letting us watch things they thought were too scary and I remember wondering if they didn't know what was in these stories. I think Kipling has an unacknowledged role in the development of weird and fantastic fiction. I also think reading at least some of The Jungle Book stories would reward anyone considering The Graveyard Book. I suggest 'Kaa's Hunting' since that is one of the stories Gaiman re-writes for his book, although it's not my favourite, which is 'Red Dog'. I rather liked 'The Graveyard Book', I thought Gaiman's prose was improved by his examination of Kipling.
