The Geek Rage Halloween Special!

  So it's finally here. I read, with dubious quality, three of my favorite freaky stories aloud for you, the readers of this blog, with criticism and comments on each one. I have tried to keep the comments to a minimum, but I kind of have a low fast speaking style and love to talk. In any case, hope you enjoy the readings, if not the presentation. I'm still new to the seamy underworld of video, and hopefully I'll catch up with it someday. These were uploaded in single takes (except for one instance where I was interrupted by a phone, and also one instance where I invited someone in to listen to the story and that's an obvious one) In any case:


Part One: "Cool Air" by HP Lovecraft (from Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of HP Lovecraft)





Part Two: "The Specialist's Hat" by Kelly Link (from Pretty Monsters)





Part Three (and our grand finale): "20th Century Ghost" by Joe Hill (from 20th Century Ghosts

  1. I enjoyed watching your videos. They're a good mix of funny and informative. And I think you did well with your readings. Nice choice on the stories. And...I would use the Necronomicon on a bugler, too!

    PS
    Where does the ladder lead?

  2. Thanks very much for the comments. I'm gonna do videos in the future, then.

    As for the ladder...there's a loft in my bedroom with a shelf and a few odds and ends in it. I'd probably be doing more with it, but I'm not sure what just yet.
