Bookless Pete | Leiningen vs. the Ants by Carl Stephenson story (1937) and radio adaptation (1948) @BooklessPete | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
A short video mainly done to push my last crappy video down in the recommendations.
My thumbnail image is from a "mapback" paperback anthology that evidently reprinted the story: Suspense: Stories Collected by Alfred Hitchcock.
Read it online (with introduction to the publishing history of its obscure author: web.archive.org/web/20150111081938/thenostalgialeague.com/olmag/stephenson-leiningen-versus-the-ants.html
