    MyHouse.WAD (All Journal Entries) | Veddge, 2023

    You’re listening to Lore Club, an audio narrative series.
    In this episode, we present to you a supercut of my performance of the MyHouse.WAD journal entries, written by Veddge for the doomworld forums!
    MyHouse.WAD is both a Doom mod, and a work of unfiction, with ARG elements. Along with the game files is a txt file with a series of devlogs that occur over the course of about half a year. Suffice to say this is a sort of… reimagined version of those logs. If you’re on headphones be prepared for the occasional loud or distorted audio.
    I had originally bridged the gap to season two of this show with daily uploads of these journal entries for two reasons. First, this podcast began as an entirely videogame-related endeavor, and I don’t see that ever fully changing.
    Second, because I wanted you to consider: what is it that makes unfiction or even fanfiction separate from other kinds of narrative?

    Haita the Shepherd | Ambrose Bierce, 1891

    Haita the Shepherd | Ambrose Bierce, 1891

    You’re listening to Lore Club, an audio narrative series.
    In this episode, we present Haita the Shepherd, written in 1891 by Ambrose Bierce.
    After publishing the work we covered in the previous episode, An Inhabitant of Carcosa, Bierce went on a prolific spree of psychological horror shorts and scathing editorials, which cut vehemently at every aspect of Gilded Age American life.
    The apparent lack of joy, or even contentment, in the union veteran’s worldview, and specifically his coverage of President McKinley’s assassination, would earn him the nickname “Bitter Bierce”.
    While listening, consider: what would you do to be truly happy?

    An Inhabitant of Carcosa | Ambrose Bierce, 1886

    You can find show notes and more at https://linktr.ee/loreclub

    You’re listening to Lore Club, an audio narrative series.
    In this episode, we present An Inhabitant of Carcosa, written in 1886 by Ambrose Bierce.
    This story takes place in… well, I guess you’ll have to find out, but the setting - along with many of Bierce’s other works, would go on to inspire Robert W. Chambers in the creation of his meta-fictional play, The King in Yellow, which you may recognize from modern works of existential horror such as True Detective.
    Much like Bierce’s other stories, An Inhabitant of Carcosa confronts the de facto horror of mere existence, and how that horror is amplified by the mind’s persistence.
    While listening, consider: What does it mean to go on, being, after great tragedy?
