Islands of all shapes and sizes troop northward from Stockholm by the 100,

and the little steamer that threads their intricate mazes in summer leaves the traveler in a somewhat bewildered state as regards the points of the compass when it reaches the end of its journey at Waxholm.

But it is only after Waxholm that the true islands begin, so to speak, to run wild and start up the coast on their tangled course of a hundred miles of deserted loveliness and it was in the very

heart of this delightful confusion that we pitched our tents for a summer holiday.

That's the opening few lines from Altered on Blackwoods, the Camp of the Dog.

You have joined us right in the middle of the Wharwolf History Month.

Woeh!

Woeh! Here at the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast.

Here at HPapcraft.com, I'm Chris Lanky.

I'm Chad Fyfer.

And you know, history, full of struggle.

Yes.

Nowhere is that more apparent than me reading this story.

I had to struggle to get through it.

I had to struggle to care about it.

Yeah.

I struggled with all kinds of questions about, you know, why am I even on this earth

while I was reading this book? No, I really, you know, normally when we read these things, they're pretty, even if they're kind of hard to get through, I still sit down, the veil comes down and I'm just kind of there. I enjoy reading, I'm good at it. I felt so much like a high school student while I was reading this. I would read two paragraphs and get up and leave and go do something.

I kept thinking, I probably should get something to eat before I keep going with this. You know, I was doing all the excuses.

This is what I did.

I found a recording of this on Laverbox.
