Welcome, friend. It's August 2nd. International Beard Day, baby. Hell yeah!

Now, I'm not sure if that means the holidays international

or if you're supposed to buy international beer,

but just in case, I got us a fine import.

Here, have a hams, Amigo,

all the way from the land of blue sky waters.

A Minnesota, you say, Chester? Ah, that's international enough, I guess.

Hell, come on in, friend.

Hmm.

Alright.

Hey, I don't have the time just now, but remind me to tell you all about simplyscarypodcast.com.

There's something about for as little as $5 a month you get the whole catalog dating back to 2012, ad-free, and available to download her stream.

We'll get around to it at some point. Same goes for patreon.com forward slash drew blood.

All right, y'all, smoke them if you got them and drink those glasses to the bottom,

because your old pal Drew Blood has a tell to tell.

So our first tell tonight comes courtesy of our old pal Aaron Vleck,

who's been with us since season one.

In this one, we join Sheriff Roy Verrick,

whose town is having an unusual autumn.

So without further delay, I give you,

from author Aaron Vleck in the Leaves.

The Leaves turned early that year and dropped into the dust of this god-offa place that rises up off the shores of the desert like steam from an unknown place.
