After 43 episodes, we arrive in Zothique with a necromantic splash. (Wait, would a necromantic splash involve a lot of…rotted flesh? Ok, maybe not.) That’s right, it’s time for “Empire of the Necromancers“!
Our reader this week is Alex Mills.
Next time, we’ll take a voyage to “The Isle of the Torturers.”

Great to hear you all after some months – a classic story.
(FWIW Sound levels on this still wonky – the first 2 readings particularly low – the last outro VERY loud)
Good to hear you back and, sound problems aside,another great episode.
I really like your show. Thanks for keeping it up. I can’t wait for the nastiness of the next story.
Very excited about more Zothique!
Content good. Sound bad.
I’ll have to take slight issue with your claim of Zothique being the third “Dying Earth” setting in world fiction. I just checked and Olaf Stapledon’s “First and Last Men” came out in 1930. This pre-dates “Empire of the Necromancers” by 2 years.
Also, S. Fowler Wright’s “the Amphibians” (1925) might have been a “Dying Earth” novel. I don’t remember off-hand. It was definitely set far in the Earth’s future.
