As they say in New Babbage, what could possibly go wrong?What is in that white powder my brother is taking?Junie Ginsburg tells a tale that HP Lovecraft said "approaches the absolute culmination of loathsome fright.”Arthur Machen was born in Wales and became enamored with mysticism and the occult at an early age. The Novel of the White Powder was part of The Three Impostors, a novel composed of a number of interwoven tales, in 1895. The novel and the stories within it were eventually to be regarded as among Machen's best works.However, following the indecency scandal surrounding Oscar Wilde later that year, Machen's association with works of decadent horror made it difficult for him to find a publisher for new works until later in his career. Publisher John Lane, wary of the atmosphere, asked Machen to censor his manuscript. Barring the omission of one word, Machen refused to comply.First Publication:1895Reader: Miss Junie GinsburgIntro: Mr Announcer & MacKnight CuldesacOutro: Miss Penny DreadfulMusic: Earth Prelude, Decline, Ghostcalypse 3, Martian Cowboy, The Dread, Bent and Broken, and Arcane, by Kevin MacleodProduction: Mosseveno TenkRuntime: 47:55You can listen to "The Radio Riel Players Present" via any of the following methods:Direct link to the show on Archive.org, where you can listen to it as a stream or download the audio file directlySubscribe on iTunesSubscribe using our RSS feed
