Thou knowest what this world needeth. Aye, ye know tis of course more AUDIO DRAMA of the SCIENCE FICTION kind!

I have, here in my possession, a PUBLIC DOMAIN tale that would make for a fine dramatization.

I speake of yon tale, The Crystal Crypt, as penned by one Philip Kindred Dick

Here be’st the original words and art as from the first publication |PDF| in a long forgotten tome (Planet Stories, January 1954).

Who’ll take up this noble quest?

Perhaps you Sir Texaweg of the Fractured Ocean? Are your noble squires across the pond in foggy Kiwi and the ancient land of Eng up to this great challenge?

What of you Suqire Jack of Halifax? ‘Tis been far too long since you took up thy rusty microphone. We sadden at thy silence.

Lord Greenhalgh of the Solar Goat, hast thou returned from Southernmost Kush? Dost though need a Maine challenge?

Surely Lady Hoverjules of the Emerald Keyboard can rise to this? I trust nary a lawsuit will be had when though hast such armor so proofed against missiles as by our blessed Gutenberg hast.

Surely one of the aforementioned gentlepersons, or perhaps another, in a high mountain vale, or in a low county coast, is up to this task

Be thee yet unknighted in the form AD, or well heel’d in it but from some shadowy land whereselse round this scepter’d orb – I ask you prithee, answer my call, for I needth me some dramatic aural Dick.

Suitable honorifics shall, of course, be bestowed to all nobels who take up this quest.
