Hello folks, Alistair here, please enjoy version 2 of Electronic Plague, read by the mighty Dave Roberson.

A radio horror, created by a mad brain, menaced the world with destruction.

The electronic plague, that infertile and unparalleled blight which spread over the

country on the evening of September 10th, 1935, just after nightfall, when everybody was

tuning up the radio, casting street and house into utter darkness, stopping completely the machinery of civilization, and striking tens of thousands of persons unconscious, hundreds of them never to awake.

The electronic plague has never been satisfactorily explained to the public.

Few know the true story.

Officials of the War Department have locked securely away in their most secret

vault, the device that caused the woeful disaster.

And with it a document, the confession of Dr. Alexander Nash, its inventor who himself died in the plague.

Welcome to Pseido Pod's Public Domain Showcase for 1925.

Suitable, episode 741, January 22nd 2021. This week's story, Lacundu by Edward Lucas White. Hello everyone, welcome to Sudapod, the Weekly Horror Podcast. Our public domain showcase continues with this 1925 piece from

Edward Lucas White. This was first published in Weird Tales in November of that month and I don't want to give away spoilers but if you

were to look up the word carbunkel that would give you an idea of where we're going.

During his life White was known for several historical novels that were critical and

commercial successes, El Supremo in 1916, The Unwilling Vestal in 1916, and Andivious Hadulio in 1921, the latter two of which H.P.

Lovecraft would later recommend to Fritz Leba as the finest modern fictional

reflections he read about the Roman Empire. Each of these three books

went through a dozen printings and sold widely for more than a quarter of a century.

However, weirdly, White remains best remembered for his contribution to weird fiction in this story.

Your narrator this week is an old dear friend of mine and an occasional partner in crime.
