Loved this story, Tony. I like the WW I veteran characters…men who probably thought they witnessed the worst horrors via war are now confronted with ancient, Stygian horrors. I hope you use them again in the future.

@ClassicGhost 3 года назад

Funnily enough I do re use characters. Not these ones yet though. You will find Christian Le Cozh In a couple of stories and Gowan Fell appears several times. They could be characters in a Call of Cthulhu game.

It's in the trees! It's coming! Strange how coincidence creeps up on us. In returning to your tale, after a brief pause, I reverted to my RU-vid history to reload Dark Water, and noticed that the last thing that I had listened to was The Hounds of Love. "So"? What of it? Nothing unusual in that. Then I hear, " it's coming for me through the trees." Or something very like to it. Strange phenomena maybe? Keep letting the weirdness in Tony. Thanks.

That line sampled by Kate is from Night of The Demon which is actually pretty good. I love that album by the way

@ruralbrewery6585 Год назад

I love this one. Excellent folk horror with all the right ingredients - new vs old, mindless horror of WW1 echoed in the ancient horror of the mindless slug that doesn't even have to devour you in order to utterly destroy you, debts of brotherhood, sacrifice and the gift of life and all that. Oh, and of course the darkness itself. Thank you for doing what you do, hey. You've inspired me to gather my household together for a Cthulhu mythos RPG now *chuckles evilly*

@ClassicGhost Год назад

Yes. That is exactly what you need to do. I keep thinking of joint a club but I’d be loads older than them

@thurayya8905 9 месяцев назад

That must have been loads of fun, running about in the woods, but knowing there was someone there, on a mission. I used to go to science fiction conventions and we did "runs" (as in Logan's Run) in costume, but that was like a glorified hide and seek. Out in the woods would be much more terrifying.

This is an awesome story! Great job writing and narrating Tony! I like the background story and the old worship of a much-forgotten entity, remembered only by a few. As a veteran, I totally can relate to the affinity owed to one who saved us. I am drawn to such stories. It has a good and sad ending at the same time. I'm looking forward to listening to this again!

I spent several days in Tintagel years ago, and that would have been a perfect setting for something like this. The layers of history there are deep as you probably know, and presented the opportunity for all manner of possible visitations by some old horror from the caves at the bottom of cliff. Nothing happened though despite my wild imaginings. Oh well, maybe next time!

Absolutely loved this. Came across this tale quite by chance. Story telling talent in heaps. As I was listening, I thought this is a Lovecraft/Machen tale set in the magical landscape of the glorious Welsh March and quite my favourite setting .... Wonderful. Early Phil Rickman, even, and awash with atmosphere? I'm a keen fan of this wild part of the country & been too long since I visited. Must look at your other content and loved your musings after the tale was told. I'm certainly enthused & send my best wishes to you! Recommend that your subscribers listen to the "Lovecraft Investigations" series of audio drama podcasts over on BBC Sounds (& elsewhere) as well worth a listen. Thanks again!

People still play the cowboys and aliens live action game with groups similar to the Call of Cthulhu game. It’s at the southern US border but I’m afraid that the guns used are very real and the aliens are at a server technological disadvantage.
