Wednesday’s Weird Stories: A Ghost Story by Samuel Clemens

adminrsr/ February 14, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

Yes. THAT Samuel Clemens.  You may be asking yourself, what Mark Twain was doing writing ghost stories and I asked myself that same question.  This week’s story was written as a satire of the popular haunted house tales that were springing up like mad around the turn of the 20th century.  Throughout this tale you will hear nearly every cliche

Wednesday’s Weird Stories – Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft

adminrsr/ January 30, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

I’ll be dipping into the Cthulhu mythos this week as I share a tale of a stranded sailor and the terror of what he finds upon reaching land.  Dagon is a fairly widely used character in the mythos, and I feel like it represents a blending point in the stories between what Lovecraft’s original settlers of earth worshiped and what

Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker

adminrsr/ January 27, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

This week’s tale is a prime example of why you do not brush off the warnings of the locals and go wandering a foreign countryside on your own.  The hubris of travelers can easily be their downfall as well.   http://media.blubrry.com/angelsandgodsradio/p/rockdsoulradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Draculas-Guest.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (44.3MB)Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Google Play | Stitcher | RSS

The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe

adminrsr/ January 24, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

Savage.  That is the only word to describe the revenge plot that Montressor has for Fortunado in this classic tale from Poe.  The next time somebody you have been picking on, asks you to go for a drink, you might want to think back to this story.   http://media.blubrry.com/angelsandgodsradio/p/rockdsoulradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/The-Cask-of-Amontadillo.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (30.0MB)Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android

The White Ship by H.P. Lovecraft

adminrsr/ January 9, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

This is the first live reading that I have done for Wednesday’s Weird Stories and I kept the intro and outro mostly intact as well to give a little history on the tale and make it more entertaining (maybe?). This is a tale of wanderlust and longing for the mysteries of the sea.  It begs the question for us; what

Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

adminrsr/ January 9, 2018/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

This has always been one of my favorite poems from Poe.  In it we hear a tale of crime and guilt from the voice of the accused himself.  It also shows a clear plan for how NOT to get away with murder. http://media.blubrry.com/angelsandgodsradio/p/rockdsoulradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Tell-Tale-Heart.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (28.6MB)Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Google Play | Stitcher | RSS

The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Anderson

adminrsr/ December 21, 2017/ Wednesday's Weird Stories

If you are unfamiliar with this holiday story, it is the tale of an unhappy tree who just can’t seem to appreciate what it has.  As a fable, it brings to light the moral of being thankful for the blessings you are given and living in the present.  This is my first foray into voicing characters so I promise future
