Christmas in New Babbage - What could possibly go wrong? Mr. Mornington glories over the success of Brunel Hall Hotel during the holiday season, while across town at a rival bar, the Squire tries to balance the books after putting on a feast to match the Brunel's buffet. Junie Ginsburg reads a truly horrible children's story by Willa Cather, and Mr. Pearse himself tells an unusual arctic tale by the famed Madame Blavatsky. Original music by Babbage residents MacKnight Culdesac and Canolli Capalini. What a year it was!
Listening party today at noon PST at the Babbage Palisade tinker camp.

The Novel of the White Powder
What is in that white powder my brother is taking?
Tonight, Junie Ginsburg tells a tale that HP Lovecraft said "approaches the absolute culmination of loathsome fright.” The White Powder by Arthur Machen is what we are listening to tonight on Tales from New Babbage! Gather around the hearth at The Gangplank in Clockhaven, or tune into Radio Riel Main or Steampunk to listen where ever you are, but you might not want to listen to this one alone.

Mr. Machen was born in Wales and became enamored with mysticism and the occult at an early age. The Novel of the White Powder was part of The Three Impostors, a novel composed of a number of interwoven tales, in 1895. The novel and the stories within it were eventually to be regarded as among Machen's best works. However, following the indecency scandal surrounding Oscar Wilde later that year, Machen's association with works of decadent horror made it difficult for him to find a publisher for new works until later in his career. Publisher John Lane, wary of the atmosphere, asked Machen to censor his manuscript. Barring the omission of one word, Machen refused to comply.

The Red Haired Girl
Good help is so hard to find, but what do you do when your family is complaining about a maid that you don't remember hiring? Tonight, New Babbage's favorite red, Junie Ginsburg, reads The Red Haired Girl, by Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924).
Sabine was an eclectic scholar and folklorist whose best known work is the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. Oddly, he is also noted for writing The Book of Were-Wolves, the 16 volume The Lives of the Saints, and the popular Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, which was an overview of medieval superstition.
Join us at noon SLT (California time) at the Gangplank in Clockhaven or at 8pm at the Bucket of Blood Public House in New Babbage, where you can get a nice stiff drink to ward off the chill of the night. Show will be broadcast over Radio Riel Steampunk

The White Ship
Tonight on Radio Riel Steampunk, an early work from H. P. Lovecraft's Dream cycle stories. Sit back, relax, and have your squire bring a coal from the stove to spark the hookah.

Listening party at 7pm SLT (California time) at Ahab's Tavern on the Iron Bay waterfront in New Babbage.
