2:14:39 – Dave in Kentucky brings back his Killer Serials series, transitioning from Old Time Radio serials to magazine serials, and from homemade song parodies to AI-generated songs. First up: Dashiell Hammett’s The Dain Curse, as it appeared in the pulp magazine Black Mask from late 1928 to early 1929. This first installment (“Black Lives”) is from November 1928, and is thus in the public domain, in this timeline, at least. The reading is by Dave in Kentucky, with occasional feline ambience by Mr. Bean.
