Hello, and welcome to another edition of our summer series Camp Fire Screams,

where we spotlight the frightful productions of other audio drama producers who specialize in the horror medium.

I'm John Ballantyne, and tonight we'll be hearing

from another anthology series. It really brings the spooky. The Grist Mill is the brainchild of Scott Hickey,

and was never really a podcast audio drama like Camp Fire Radio Theater. It followed more of a books on tape model.

And Scott made their shows available through online sales of CDs. I think I remember Scott

mentioning in an interview that he was inspired by memories of listening to CBS Mystery Radio

Theater as a kid back in the 70s, a favorite of many

of our listeners as well as mine. Now tonight we're going to hear an episode of the Gristmill

titled God of the Razor. It's a masterful bit of horror storytelling by Joe R. Lansdale,

which is a name you may recognize.

Joe is an author of some note who is penned horror as well as other genres.

We're talking short story collections and novels that have been adapted into film and television

productions. Mr. Lansdale is indeed the real deal. Jerry Stearns and Brian Price of Great Northern Audio adapted and directed this gym of a story and it was produced by Scott Hickey's AMFM Theater. I'll provide links in the show notes. So cozy up to the fire and have a listen to this delightfully creepy tale, God of the Razor.

At the moment of our death, we are set upon a path that leads us to our final destination.

For some, this path leads into the light.

But for the wretched souls who descend down into the darkness,

their path leads them here.

The Grissmill.

Welcome to the place of final disposition of the human soul.

A place, God forsake it by design. The place at the end of the human soul, a place God forsaken by design, the place at the end

of the tunnel where there is no light. From the dawn of time, man has walked side by side
