If darkness is what you're after. Seek all your searches through.

You haven't found the darkness traveler.

The darkness has found you. Welcome to season 3 episode 16. I'm your host Jason Hill and I'm thrilled you could join me tonight.

We've had an unseasonably warm winter in my neck of the woods and for the first time in my life I miss the cold.

For whatever reason the winters are getting shorter

and I find myself longing for the smell of snow,

the glittering icicles, and the moon shining in a crystal clear

December night, all of it.

Our story tonight, a classic by the great Jack London, expresses the terrible beauty of this season of death like no other.

So be sure to turn the lights off and the heat up, because it's about to get very, very cold.
