The Cartographer's Last Map of Corbin's Mill

from Plague Doctor's Round — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

Luna recounts a story handed down from a retired surveyor named Elias Thorne, who spent forty years mapping the back roads of rural Pennsylvania. In the autumn of 1989, he was called to resurvey a forgotten valley near the town of Corbin's Mill — a place that appeared on no modern map but was marked on an old deed as 'The Hollow.' Elias drove out one cold October morning, following a dirt track that seemed to shrink behind him. He found a cluster of houses that time had passed by: no electricity, no cars, just wood smoke and the smell of damp wool. The people there spoke an English that sounded two centuries old, and they asked him to draw their roads — roads that curved in ways that hurt to look at. When he finished, they paid him in silver coins stamped with a date he couldn't read. He left at dusk, and on the way out, he noticed the trees had no leaves — not because it was autumn, but because they had never grown them. Elias retired the next week and never spoke of the Hollow again. Until one night, in a nursing home near Harrisburg, he told Luna's mother the whole thing. Now Luna tells you. #CorbinsMill #EliasThorne #PennsylvaniaHollow #TheCartographersLastMap #SurveyorHorror #ForgottenValley #Autumn1989 #SilverCoins #LeaflessTrees #OldRoads #TimeStoodStill #FolkHorror #AppalachianHorror #EerieEncounter #RoadThatShouldntExist #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PlagueDoctorsRound #PlagueDoctorHorror #HistoricalHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Generally American (A Journey in American English) Christopher M.
