Melanie, as this is a poem, I would like to include it in the monthly Poetry collection instead, which is here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=89320

Would you be able to replace the current intro with the short poetry one, and the ending, that is:
"The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe. Read for Librivox.org" then the poem as you have it, and at the end "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain".
When exporting, name you file spc221_raven_md_128kb and when you upload it, post it in the poetry thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=89320

There's some text missing from the recording at around 1:20, 2 lines: "Dreadfully quiet" etc. The rest is perfect! and also “Whoso diggeth a pit” is PL OK!

Sonia Haft Greene Lovecraft Davis (March 16, 1883 – December 26, 1972) was an American one-time pulp fiction writer and amateur publisher, businesswoman and milliner who bankrolled several fanzines in the early twentieth century. She is noted for her two-year marriage to American weird fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. She was a president of the United Amateur Press Association.

(You don't think her husband was helping her with her writing, do you?)

Anyway, Enjoy

Thank you, Dale!

Sonia did write a few stories in collaboration with H.P. but this one is probably not one of those.
Just one note for "The Invisible Monster", at around 2:43, text is "it was unmistakably a gilled fish", I hear "mistakenly"

Vale of the Corbies is PL OK!


There is some text missing in The Door, around 13:16 "Something about it seemed vaguely familiar, etc ..."

I did enjoy these stories as we get closer to Halloween! Thank you, Dale!

Hi! Hopefully this will be ok:
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor056_horrorhorn_benson_bt_128kb.mp3

The Horror-Horn by E. F. Benson
Take from the following text: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/60339
Time: 29:18

Let me know if I need to make any modifications. I noticed recently this classic monster tale from E. F. Benson has surprisingly not been recorded for Librivox, so I took it upon myself to correct that. :D

Thanks!

Hi again:

I have corrected The Door and reloaded.

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor056_door_whitehead_dg_128kb.mp3

Something about that text seemed vaguely familiar, but somehow it was omitted from my script. I am glad someone was reading the original document...


Sorry

Dale
