A transcription of this episode is available.
This week, we’ll be doing our first Hyperborean episode, “The Tale of Satampra Zeiros.” To see the rest of the Hyperborean stories, check out the list on our about page.
We have our first guest in this episode, Jason Thompson, a.k.a Mockman or @khyungbird. Jason is the author of Manga: The Complete Guide and the author and artist of various comics, including King of RPGs (with Victor Hao), H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, and The Stiff. He is currently working on a comic with Shaenon Garrity. One of the reasons we asked Jason to be a guest on this episode, in particular, is because he’s done a great comic of today’s story. You can buy the comic in his store and I (Ruth) really recommend it.
Jason mentioned learning about Hyperborea in the Inventorum Natura by Una Woodruff. Tim was able to find the Clark Ashton Smith illustrations for The Lurking Fear, thanks for W.H. Pugmire’s blog.
This is the family tree we mentioned, which Lovecraft created to bind his world to Smith’s:
The next two episodes will cover the amazingly trippy adventures in “The Door to Saturn.”
