I\u2019ll also be performing The Call of Cthulhu, by H.P. Lovecraft with three other narrators, and Asleep in Armageddon by Ray Bradbury. Finally, we\u2019re doing a performance of War of the Worlds Mad Lib style, where the audience chooses half of the story. If you\u2019re going to the convention, be sure to stop by.   If you had to look up the word mezzotint like I did, here\u2019s what you\u2019d find at Merriam-Webster:   1: a manner of engraving on copper or steel by scraping or burnishing a roughened surface to produce light and shade 2: an engraving produced by mezzotint   Today\u2019s story has been anthologized and dramatized many times. It felt like an old Twilight Zone episode to me. I hope you like it.   And now, The Mezzotint, by M.R.
