Good evening, children of the night.

Welcome to another episode of Tales to Terrify.

In two past episodes, I had mentioned Matt Ruff's novel Lovecraft Country, which I very much enjoyed, and Jordan Peel's Get Out, which I certainly enjoyed.

I was surprised at how good of a horror movie that Funny Man Mr. Peel made, but turns out that he can work in different genres and do a good job. I may or run a line between the two, because both

of them are unquestionably pieces of horror fiction, but both include

racism in America. Now, word is circling that Jordan Peel is now producing a series based

on Lovecraft Country for HBO. I think that the source material will translate to the small

screen very well, and I wish Mr. Peel good luck on the endeavor. Watch for that at some

point in the future from HBO. But here at Tales to Terrify, this is a special episode. It's the

first of our Stoker nominee episodes. We will have four episodes featuring all of the nominees,

with the exception of, unfortunately, the winner.

Joyce Carol Oates, The Crawl Space, took the prize for superior achievement in short fiction,

but a conflict kept it from being able to be aired here. So, congratulations to Ms. Oates.

And one last thing before we dive into the story.
