Summary

Deep in the haunted realm of Averoigne, something ancient and profane is stirring. A vanished sorcerer, a trail of stolen corpses, and a ruined fortress whisper a single, terrifying secret—one only the bravest dare uncover. When strange lights blaze above the crumbling battlements of Ylourgne and the dead themselves begin to wander, a lone seeker of forbidden truths must confront the darkness his former master left behind. In this season-ending descent into Gothic terror, Horror Hill host Erik Peabody guides listeners through Clark Ashton Smith’s legendary tale of necromancy, dread, and the monstrous consequences of unchecked ambition. Expect infernal rituals, eerie revelations, and the creeping certainty that some horrors were never meant to be unearthed. Brace yourself. The shadows are gathering, the earth is trembling, and something colossal is waking. Welcome to the finale.
