🎙️ The Devil Within REDUX: Acquainted With the Night Frost’s darkness. Cross’s missing crates. And the terrible book that tied them together. In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, Branden Morgan revisits Acquainted With the Night — not just as a poem, but as a confession written in verse. Robert Frost’s descent through loneliness and despair mirrors Tommy Sullivan’s own walk into darkness — one lit not by the moon, but by the flicker of ritual fire. This episode breaks down the layered meaning of Frost’s most haunting work, tracing its themes of isolation, inevitability, and the silent toll of the unknown. Then we go deeper — exploring what a grimoire truly is, how it bridges myth and madness, and how Tommy’s own “book of shadows” became both diary and damnation. Finally, we turn to one of the lingering mysteries of the Sullivan case: the missing crates of Richard Cross’s belongings— books, scrolls, and artifacts said to have vanished after his death. What was inside them? And what did Tommy find when he began looking? Some roads shouldn’t be walked alone. And some nights refuse to end. 🕯️ Follow & Listen Follow The Devil Within for new episodes every week — available wherever you get your podcasts.
