Welcome to Tales to Terrify.

Welcome to Tales to Terrify.

Good evening, Children of the Night. Welcome again to The Nook. It's that time of week once again for Tales to Terrify. I will be your host, Stephen Kilpatrick. Come on in. The first hints of autumn are here, and we will make sure you have some of that fall of cider in the weeks to come.

For now, pour yourself something to drink. Find a comfortable place to settle in.

This evening, from Sylvia Schultz, we have Lights Out.

This edition's theme is Haunted Houses.

Who doesn't love haunted houses? Oh, well, maybe some of the people that live in them.

Then again, I'm sure there are a few Casper's as well as a few Amityville's.

This lights out as a bit longer than usual, coming in at just a smidge under an hour.

Following that, we'll be tonight's fiction.

You'll be hearing Alan Baxter's Not the Worst of Sins.

Before we dive into all of that, a bit of business.

First of all, two weeks ago, we had an interview with M.F. Wall,

also a couple of vignettes from her new serialized novel disease. That was M.F. Wall.

The author brought it to my attention that I had kicked off the podcast by getting it right and then screw it up later.

Not only was I incorrect, I was inconsistently incorrect.

And to make matters worse, it was while I was promoting the contest to give away a few copies of disease

while using a hashtag with the author's erroneous name.

Fortunately, the author counted all of the misspelled hashtags as valid entries.

Congratulations to the winners, by the way.

Second item of business, tales to terrify, and all of our neighbors are a labor of love.

Although the folks here at the Nook do prefer the lights to be kept low, We still have to pay to keep them on.
