Summary
“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 poetry and short stories by Ambrose Bierce, Robert W. Chambers, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Butler Yeats.
Carcosa is a fictional land that first appeared in Bierce’s 1886 story “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” (included in this collection), and later is appeared Robert W. Chambers’s The King in Yellow. It has since been used by many other fantasy and horror writers and poets, including H. P. Lovecraft, Joseph S. Pulver, John Scott Tynes, George R.R. Martin, and many more. Carcosa has even been used as a location in the HBO’s True Detective and Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
This collection explores Carcosa and other fictional cities found in nineteenth-century poetry and short stories.
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 listeners 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.
