Podcast That Dares 58: Notebook Found In A Deserted House

I guess it's been enough time to do another Robert Bloch story . . . hasn't it?

This one is the 1951 Lovecraft homage, "Notebook Found In A Deserted House," about a twelve year old boy who discovers that the only thing worse than a mystery is the answer behind said mystery.

Podcast That Dares 52: The Man Who Collected Poe

I present Robert Bloch's 1951 short story, "The Man Who Collected Poe." Imagine the ultimate collection a fan could possess . . . what might it include?

Note: I mention the film "Torture Dungeon" a few times. The film was actually 1967's TORTURE GARDEN.  Sorry, boss.

Learn "What Every Young Ghoul Should Know" on Pseudopod


I've only read a bit of Robert Bloch over the years*, but one of the very FIRST stories I ever recorded, back in 1990 or so, was 1938's "The Beetles" by Bloch, who I only knew as the author of Psycho at the time.**

So, I was thrilled when Shawn Garrett contacted me to record a very short Bloch story, "What Every Young Ghoul Should Know."  It's not really Horror so much as a humorous dig at publishing, originally published in Amateur Correspondent magazine in 1937.

I do wish it had been more substantial (my reading is less than nine minutes long and is followed by a full-length Bloch story called "Black Bargain"), but hey, I'm always pleased/flattered/grateful whenever the 'pod asks me to do another story.

Check it out HERE.




*Heads up, I just finished editing a presentation of a Bloch 1951 story for the next (probably) Podcast That Dares.

**Sadly, that's pretty much all anybody knows today, though it would be great if that were to change.
