When a dogged investigator named Janice tracks Bierce\u2019s trail to a dusty Laredo bar, she\u2019s drawn into a surreal and increasingly terrifying narrative involving a lost journal, a mysterious stranger in white, and a story that reads her more than she reads it. What begins as a missing persons case spirals into a Lovecraftian descent through memory, identity, and madness\u2014where the King in Yellow wears no mask, and the Queen in Blue offers ambiguous salvation. Told in a blend of noir dialogue, occult commentary, and psychically destabilizing prose, The Lost Story takes listeners through the last days of Bierce\u2019s life\u2014or rather, the many lives that fractured from that single point in the desert. The deeper Janice reads, the less certain reality becomes. \u26a0\ufe0f Warning: This episode contains metatextual horror, memetic content, and themes of psychological disintegration. Listener discretion is strongly advised.  \u201cYou know that this couldn\u2019t possibly be real... but you keep reading anyway.\u201d  ","author_name":"Tossing Grenades At Windmills","author_url":"http:\/\/tossinggrenadesatwindmills.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/37378380\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/190683505"}
