In 1925, I went to Oklahoma looking for snake lore,

and I came out with a fear of snakes that will last me the rest of my life.

I admit it is foolish since there are natural explanations for everything I saw and heard,

but it masters me nonetheless.

If the old story had been all it was to it,

I would not have been so badly shaken.

My work as an American Indian ethnologist

has hardened me to all kinds of extravagant

legendary and I know that simple white people can beat the Redskins at their own game

when it comes to fanciful inventions. I can't forget what I saw with my own eyes at the insane asylum in Guthrie.

All right we start with an insane asylum.

Yeah, well that was the opening line from the story The Curse of Yig written by

HP Lovecraft and Zelia Bishop, though this is not the Zelia Bishop literary

podcast. No, this is the HP Lovecraft literary. Lovecraft Lovescraft literary podcast.

I had never read it before.

Me neither.

It was a great length.
