Episode 0: Welcome to The Dark Volumes, feat. "The Ghosts" by Lord Dunsany


Listen Later

Allow me to introduce myself as the curator of this grisly collection.

Besides my little introduction, I've included a short story here for you from Lord Dunsany: "The Ghosts."

Edward Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany, is one of the earliest and most influential examples of fantasy and dark fiction writers. His works are notable and many, but some of the most popular include “The King of Elfland’s Daughter” (1924), “The Gods of Pegana” (1905), and “The Sword of Welleran” (1908). In this story, Lord Dunsany uses the typical human tendency to question the hereafter and what it entails – specifically its inhabitants. With a simple short story, he probes the human condition, our frailties, and our fears.
