For there be divers sorts of death--some wherein the body remaineth; and in some it vanisheth quite away with the spirit.-- An Inhabitant of Carcosa, by Ambrose Bierce
Direct me, I beseech you, to Carcosa.-- An Inhabitant of Carcosa, by Ambrose Bierce
Strange is the night where black stars rise, / And strange moons circle through the skies / But stranger still is / Lost Carcosa-- Verse 2 Cassilda's Song by Robert W. Chambers
Skyboat Media and Steven Archer reunite for another unique audiobook experience ...
Beyond Carcosa is an original compilation featuring stories and poetry by Ambrose Bierce, Robert W. Chambers, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Bulter Yeats.
Carcosa is an imagined land that first appeared in Bierce's 1886 story An Inhabitant of Carcosa (included in this collection), and later in Robert W. Chambers's volume The King in Yellow. It has since been featured by many other Fantasy writers, including H. P. Lovecraft, Joseph S. Pulver, John Scott Tynes, and George R. R. Martin. Carcosa has even been referenced in HBO's True Detective and Netflix's The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
This collection takes us to Carcosa and other imagined places explored by the finest Weird storytellers of the nineteenth century.
As with the first Skyboat and Archer collaboration, The Masque of the Red Death, the works of these classic and innovative writers are given new life, and a new generation of readers will have the chance to voyage to Carcosa ... and beyond.
Original musical score and artwork by Steven Archer. Includes an accompanying PDF of Steven Archer's original illustrations.
