    Great story. One of the main inspirations for the book "The King in Yellow".
    What a mysterious place Carcosa must be.

    Oh fuck Bierce is such a good idea to read; he's a damned genius and his writing humbles the shit out of me. Reminiscent of "Walden" but so much more interesting, heh. Good choice, good choice.

    I love how he spends his entire time looking for his way back to Carcossa only to realize he's IN Carcossa, and upon the realization he acts like he already knew the city was long dead

    The city of Oxnard California has been trying to change its name for years, I think "Carcosa” would be a good name for a city.

      It's a relatively new channel as far as it goes. More than 7,000 subscribers from scratch in about eight months isn't bad.

    • @OtisJiryReads
      @OtisJiryReads  10 років тому +4

      Philip Decker I'd be happy as all get out if there were more views. Perhaps y'all could share my narrations to get the word out and we can grow the channel in both subscribers and views. Thanks :) Bless you.

      For what it's worth, I've been referring to Chambers (The King in Yellow) as Chalmers (the Superintendent from The Simpsons)for the last few months.

    I love Otis, but this story seems to take forever to get to the point. The climax was totally a let down for me.
