“The Red One” / Jack London Presages The Ultimate Synth
Putting aside the colonial prejudices of an alcoholic who didn’t travel much, London’s on to something here... and the reasons why we lose our head over it. Some wonderful writing re sound, as well.
Sunday horror at its best😳😉🙏😎

@LinearLineman : good call! I thought I had pretty much exhausted the worthwhile contemporaries of Lovecraft when it came to horror/sci fi/weird tales - yer Blackwoods and Chambers and Bensons and Blochs et al. But this was new to me.
I knew Jack London had written one other Lovecraftian-like oddity, the strange, not wholly successful novel called The Star Rover, (which Lovecraft, who had it in his library, may have used as inspiration for his own, to my mind much more successful trans dimensional piece, Through The Gates Of The Silver Key) . The Star Rover also got sort-of remade as the equally odd movie The Jacket. Meanwhile of course his Call Of The Wild is a genuinely impressive and moving classic of a wholly different order. But I had no idea he had ever dabbled directly in the kind of thing that could easily have slipped into any issue of Weird Tales.
This is good solid (albeit racist, imperialist, misogynistic, obvs) genre stuff, marked as you say by some great passages on the subject of sound - maybe the Red One contains a modular synth?
Not startling, or as finely honed as his best short story work, like the literally chilling 1908 version of To Build A Fire, but still worth it. I admire the way he is able to invest you in the fates of protagonists who are clearly not very nice people. Not heroes, but flawed, fallible men…

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading The Sea Wolf by London as well. At times, it almost reads like satire or a parody of its own genre. Amazing book.
I’m about halfway through the audio of the The Red One. May try to knock it out before bed! Thanks for posting LL
@Svetlovska, I had forgotten what a horror fan you are. Are you familiar with this channel, Horror Babble? Highly recommend it.
@LinearLineman : yes, I have come across it before. Like the content, not always sure about the delivery.
