I used to have one of those Mammoth Books - mine was Monsters, I believe! I love that LM "Little Women" Alcott wrote that!

Have you read Imprisoned With The Pharaohs by Houdini and Lovecraft?

Your voice is so well suited for narration, this was fantastic!

Thank you so much, Garrett, that's so kind! I used to do speech and drama classes after school so I'm finally putting it to use.

Check out The Child Who Loved a Grave by James Fitz O’Brien

I meant Fitz-James 🫣

Okay well I'm sold based on the title alone, thanks Patrick! Is it Australian? It's coming up on Project Gutenberg Australia which I didn't know was a thing.

Gut Aus has a more liberal definition of public domain than US, but it shouldn’t matter since O’Brien wrote in the 1850s

I feel curious enough to read that, 19th century horror has been a solid category for me these last couple of years.

I have read this, but a long, long time ago. Looking forward to listening later this week!

Thanks Matt! This was a fun one, it made me want to watch The Mummy again.

Which version? Karloff or Fraser? (Yes, there are others but I prefer not to acknowledge their existence.)

Rebekah King's avatar

Both and I agree, those are the only ones that count :)
