Sometimes a story reads like it is remembered rather than written.
Before the fantasy genre got filled with maps and magic systems and lore, Lord Dunasy was building worlds from moonlight and myths.
Monumental writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and J.R.R. Tolkien wouldn’t have existed without Dunsany.
Still, much of his work is overlooked or strangely forgotten – consigned to the mythic realms which produced it.
Today, Radio Free Weird revives one of those forgotten signals: “The Highwaymen.”
The Highwaymen of Dunsany are more than robbers on lonely roads. They are part of older liminal times – times where history, folklore and dreams intersect.
The prose rolls off the tongue like an old ballad – melancholy and uncanny in places. You find yourself drawn into a world where each crossroad holds the unknown…holds legends.
At Radio Free Weird, Dunsany is not forgotten.
Somewhere ahead, hoofbeats approach through the wind…listen for yourself…
