American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time)
The Harry Houdini Book Club: Episode 1: Under the Pyramids
01 Sep 2020
Description
In this episode, I look at a short story by Harry Houdini (ghost written by H. P. Lovecraft) called "Under the Pyramids". It is a beautiful story of the exploration into deep history even if the scare at the end is fairly typical of its writer. Narrated by Houdini, the "was it all a dream" suggestion has a bit more punch.
