Service (R.I.P.), originally published in 1907 and now part of the public domain, about a pair of men who set out for the Canadian Yukon in search of gold. The night prior to the death of the title character, who hails from the fictional town of Plumtree, Tennessee, the narrator realizes that "a pal's last need is a thing to heed," and swears to McGee that he will not fail to cremate him. After McGee dies the following day, the narrator winds up hauling the body clear to the "marge of Lake Lebarge" (the shore/edge of the lake) before he finds a way to perform the promised cremation. Robert Service claimed to have based the poem on an experience of his real-life roommate, Dr. Sugden, who once found a corpse in the cabin of the steamer Olive May. A success upon its initial publication in 1907, the poem became a staple of traditional campfire storytelling in North America throughout the 20th century. An edition of the poem, published in 1986 and illustrated by Ted Harrison, was read widely in Canadian elementary schools. We hope you enjoy our adaptation of it. It is a classic work that still has impact today, and deserves to be kept alive. Jeff Clement is a producer, musician, and narrator for Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.
