    Let Us Fill Your Fancy

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    if you like Creep Corner but find yourself thinking "I wish they talked about things that should scare me in real life," then this is the episode for you!
    Once we get through that little amuse bouche, the episode starts in earnest. Heather has picked a story for Ken to read by a new author named Clark Ashton (when she pronounces it right) Smith. His story is...actually super spooky.
    During the episode, your hosts discuss an expansion on to Only Fans, the opening of a new gay club, and who is the hottest David?
    "The Gorgon was" was published in Weird Tales, April 1932.

    Fate's Climax

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Clown corner has taken a turn for the creepy, technical difficulties have led a strange release day, and Heather is reading two weeks in a row.  What is happening to this podcast!?!?
    Actually, I can't lie, this is a good one. I mean, you know I think this show is ridiculous and pointless, but this episode? Yeah, it was a good one.
    It's a story by a woman named Sonia Greene. Heather does a great job reading it, except for when she forgets how to read. 
    Talking points include the failure of technology, Etsy curses, and plagiarism.
    "The Invisible Monster" was published in 1923. 5 years before Call of Cthulu. Just sayin'...

    Drunk and Naked

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    It's like welcoming back and old friend who you've missed and as soon as they are back you remember that you actually hate them. That's right, it's the return of Clown Corner.
    I'm sorry.
    Once you get through that nonsense the episode get so much...longer. But, at least Ken has picked an interesting author. Dorothy Parker led a fascinating life which Ken summarizes far too quickly and wrote a great story calle "Little Curtis" full of words that Heather can barely pronounce. But you should listen anyway.
    During the episode you'll get discussion of lame last names, terrible last names, and Welsh last names...wow, there's a lot of nomenclature humor this week... 
    "Little Curtis" was published in 1927.

    Thick Thighs Get You High

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    You know what, I'm not even going to complain about this episode. Your hosts do their job, the story is fun, so screw it. Just enjoy this one!
    Heather's got a story for Ken to read from a new author named Jean Ingelow called "The Prince's Dream." It's a charming little parable. Really. 
    As usual, side topics abound including how to fix time, the original source material for the Die Hard movies, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson is a prancing pop kid.
    "The Prince's Dream" was published in 1863.

    A Visit From The Crimson Clown

    A Visit From The Crimson Clown

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Well, you asked for it...literally...and now you're gonna get it.
    Heather's back, and she's reading, and it's chaos, and somehow Ken has decided he's just going to say intentionally stupid things...
    I don't know what's going on anymore, but I don't think I like it.
    Whatever.
    Ken has selected a story for Heather to read. It's called "Thubway Tham's Inthane Moment." Yes, it was spelled that way on purpose. It was written by Johnston McCulley of Zorro fame, and it's just weird.
    Also, your hosts discuss the death of brunch, how many bad morals one story can have, and whether or not a crime is a crime if the victim is a dick.
    "Thubway Tham's Inthane Moment" was published in 1918 in Detective Story Magazine.

    Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!
    Bahahahaha!
    No, sorry, that laughter was not for how funny the episode was. I'm laughing at Ken for how sad and lonely he sounds. Teehee.  What a sucker...
    Anyway, this week, Ken reads a story by a mysterious author, asks us no questions, demands no talking points and basically just gives us an excellent audiobook read of a very odd story. It's like he took it seriously or something! Come on Ken, that's not why we listen, and you know it
    The story "The Minor Canon" was published in 1909 in The Lock and Key Library: Classic Mystery and Detective Stories.
