Amazingly well read and well compiled video to go along with Smith's gruesomely terrific tale. I enjoyed this immensely. Thank You so much. It was so well done in every aspect I only but wish every Smith tale were given such treatment. I long for more.
After some really intense research, the narrator name is actually Deem Bristow! He also was the voice actor for Dr. Eggman in sonic and many other video game characters, and unfortunately he passed away in 2005.
That was a really great reading. CAS is a writer whose work is meant to be read aloud; hearing his words is like a spell that conjures up the imagery of his stories to your mind. I see you've got some of his poems up, too, so I hope to investigate those as well, and that there are more readings to come. ;) FYI, I learned of this after it was shared with the Facebook group "Emperor of Dreams: Devotees of Clark Ashton Smith," if you're interested in joining/informing them of any future videos.
I love this one. The story, the man's voice and the 80s sounding atmospheric music really rounds this bad boy out. One of my favorite CAS stories is "The Coming of the White Worm" but I can't find an audio version. I hope that someone uploads that one sometime.
Fantastic production! FANTASTIC production! You have a great smokey voice and your delivery is compelling. The music has this seductive fever-dream quality that is as alluring as it is sinister and alien. Coupled with your narration and the crashing waves, it breathes life into the proceedings, lends depth, as though we are only glimpsing one little tale on a few scattered islands in the vast, dark, delightful world of Zothique. Incredible work!
One of my favorite things about this story is that his descriptions of abyssal sea creatures is pretty accurate for someone who never actually witnessed the like. The imagery is reminiscent of footage from deep sea probes that you see elsewhere on youtube...
Luckily, the Isle of Torturers is broken by absolute death in the end, due to the brave deed of King Fulbra of Yoros, who had taken three days of torture in Uccastrog.
If anyone asks what sets Clark Ashton Smith apart from HP Lovecraft or Robert E Howard, I will be directing them to this video. Your production thoroughly captures the fever-dream sensuality, the unbridled creativity, and the psychelic weirdness that distinguishes CAS from others in the Lovecraft Circle.
Will you have more of these read along stories these are good and I want to thank you for downloading the Ice demon and the return of the sourcerer. By Clark Aston smith now if you could please download the mayor of hell by norvell page through the pulp crazy website I'll download more
To the dark eddillo website the reading of the isle of the tortureers by Clark Ashton smith is quite good I do like it if you are in to horror of which I am not I am now into pulp fiction please will you please put as another pulp vidio read along the mayor of hell by norvel page but just three chapters one though three and fangs of the dragon by norvel page writting as grant Stockbridge
I really love this reading, but for feedback's sake, the music is a bit too high in volume and distracting... I wouldn't keep it up throughout the whole reading, just in the beginning and end. Keep up the good work!
Wondrously read... I can see it all clearly. This is a great presentation.
I've read this many times, but this audio version in amazing with audio and and added background. Beautiful.
Reg Green has to be the best to narrate CAS stories. I wish there was a full volume of all his works read by this same narrator

Ahhhhhh perfect! I have found my lullaby narrator for tonight... Thank you.
Excellent tale, possibly one of my new favorite of all time, fitting reading as well!
Finally, CAS full story. What a great story, this will open a lot of eyes. CAS necromancy and the lengths one will go for true love.
Brilliant production.

Brilliant twist, love the incidental music, Thanks.

Almost too chilling to continue listening....

Very well done! Thank you.
Hell yeah awesome I've never read this one thank you so much.

“Whatever you do,” cried Brer Rabbit, “Don’t throw me into the briar patch”

Great fantasy tale.
Excellent please make some more.
Great story. I wonder if this was an inspiration for Theon's torture scene in GoT
CAS is the man
Great reading, thanks for sharing. I wonder if this was the inspiration for Gene Wolfe's new sun stories?

I wish I knew who narrates this.

outstanding. the silver death was what that pathetic recent 'pandemic' should have been. 12 billion (and a dead planet) here we come.
I was suss on Ilva from the start 😉
Moral of the story; don't trust women, I guess.
Good story, but a tame ending.
