Hey, Goosebuds, listeners.

I, here's this episode three, I wish we had a name for listeners, like a nickname like Goosebudites.

I don't know.

We'll work on that.

Something that's all right.

Just giving you guys a quick heads up.

This episode is wonderful.

Though, if you're wondering why it's taken so long, we ran into some technical difficulties.

After the recording, a large part of it was corrupted.

I've been spending the past several weeks trying to save it stubbornly.

And I realize most of what you missed is just dumb, Paul and I talking about terrible things

about Aral Stein, the wonderful, wonderful man responsible for the book series that we love

to review and has created

this entire podcast.

So I finally have given up.

I'm sorry to say, we've lost part of the podcast, but the real juicy, meaty parts of

episode three, Monster Blood, are still here, and you can still hear us coming in just a little

bit more of a slander about Aral Stein, who is our all father, our Odin's son,

so to speak, of horror children's books. Again, enjoy the episode. His arms.

Tell us again about how Arl Stein is writing split.

Well, he would write the accompanying stories to the photo sets.

I think they were of S&M stuff,
