The Yellow Sign by Robert W. Chambers (part 1)
Manage episode 346657931 series 3409646
Time to immerse ourselves in some early cosmic horror courtesy of American author Robert W. Chambers. It's all the fun of concentrated cosmic dread and none of the dreadful heteronormative exclusion!
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
By the way, just case you aren’t already doing so, I strongly recommend listening to our episodes with headphones or earbuds in order to get the full enveloping eldritch experience of Mer’s audio engineering sorcery.
