The Curse of Yig (Dark Adventure Radio Theatre)

Sean Branney
4.15/5 (32 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
A student of Native American lore investigates shadowy tales of the snake god of an extinct tribe of the Great Plains. His inquiry uncovers an account from 1889 of settlers homesteading in the Indian Territories of Oklahoma. A pervasive fear of snakes nudges a simple settler towards madness. Are his fears of the dreaded snake god just the result of hearing old stories, or is a new story unfolding as Yig's curse takes hold?

“The Curse of Yig” is rather an outlier among the tales of HPL. Going far from the comfortable backdrop of New England, Lovecraft made use of a setting in rural Oklahoma and created a new deity for his pantheon of Great Old Ones — the serpent god Yig. The story came about as a collaboration — of a sort — between Lovecraft and one of his revision clients, Zealia Bishop. Zealia sent HPL the germ of a story learned from her grandmother Compton, who lived in the Oklahoma territory in the late 1800s, and HPL developed it into something much richer and more satisfying.
