In the 41st episode of Adam Alonzi's Podcast Ben Thomas and I discuss classic Weird Tales from authors such as H.P Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, and Lord Dunsany. We also examine similar techniques and themes found in the works of Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville, and Henry James. Being the first part in what will likely be an ongoing series, we give our listeners a few precious morsels of neuroscience in preparation for future treks into the heart of darkness.

An Iron Will by Orison Swett Marden
Happy New Year!
I recorded this classic in one sitting (with two tea breaks) on New Year's Day.
It would have felt odd, almost insulting to the spirit of the work, to have turned the task into a set of delicate slices. Orison Swett Marden was a self-help author from New Hampshire who suffered numerous setbacks in his life, including the loss of his hotel and 5,000 manuscript pages in a fire.
He was admired by Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Teddy Roosevelt, and British PM William Gladstone. His insights, rendered in an elegant but electrifying style, continue to inspire and invigorate.
Let's make 2023 spectacular.
Warm regards,
Adam
