Charles.

You must excuse my speech.

I'm grown a physical from this cursed river air.

I suppose you've come to see what ails me.

H.Podcraft.P. Lovecraft literary podcast. I'm Chad Fyfer.

And I'm Chris Laki and that's at H.Podcraft.

We are glad to be back. Apologies for the interruption in your Charles Dexter Ward service.

In all seriousness, I want to thank everybody for their comments and emails and messages

of support the last couple of weeks. I really appreciated them and I know Andrew Lehman did as well.

And you know many of you said that we got to have priorities, Family First, the podcast can

wait and you know you'll still be here. I thank you for that. And it's true but

you know Chris so many times in my life

I've had to deal with difficult things and what help me get through it was

being able to get together with friends and talk about movies or music or in this case books.

Absolutely. You know, in the grand scheme of things, you know, all our geek in us here is immaterial I guess but in my personal life the show is

really one of the most important things I have and that's largely due to the friendship of our

listeners and of course Chris and Andrew and everybody who participates including our marvelous

reader today Matthew Foyer.

So thanks again everybody and let's get into talking about some wizards and some

monsters.

How about that?

How about it? What were we left off last week?
