Sin Carriers 12 – Morning 1:17:04

In chapter 12 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Sin Carriers, Su wakes up the morning after the events of the Ball, tired but none the worse for wear. Her debt paid to Moira, she leaves, not knowing somebody else aboard the train is waiting to collect. Mr. Vaught takes stock of the increasing damage to the train and tells the security crew to be ready to stop again shortly. Tolliver awakes a different man than the one he was before departing, but can’t quite hold himself together. Wickless loses face after terribly misjudging a situation, and Gato teaches a new Imago just where he stands in the pecking order.

Sin Carriers 6 – Tension 1:17:51

In chapter 6 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Sin Carriers, our travelers recover from the aftermath of the Pinkerton attack and discover whether the few revelations about their pasts might hurt relations with the rest of the crew. Conversations are had amongst the drivers, the security personnel, and the VIPs about what’s to come as the bodies of the Pinkertons killed aboard the train are unceremoniously dumped into the desert. And all the while, the mysterious wood piles seem to exert their influence all the more over certain members of the crew.

This episode of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s Horror and Lit Club covers the 2022 horror film Barbarian, a review that took me so long to do because I love that movie that I had to cut the other thing I was going to talk about, the recent adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman."

Sin Carriers 5 – Shootout 1:14:14

In chapter 5 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Sin Carriers, the Pinkerton ambush is underway! Our travelers are spread out and outnumbered, with a bounty on their heads. But it’s clear the fight has just begun, as Pinkerton heads are already exploding, rolling, and flying as the mysterious Gato joins the fray.

As the Pinkertons try to take the train, Su and Ducky are put into an awkward — and deadly — position. Moira feels a sudden, irresistible call during the chaos, and it may be left up to Vasily to protect her from both the Pinkertons, and herself. Meanwhile, Mildover helps Elam put his new training to use, and Tolliver finds his already strained relationship pushed past the breaking point.

On this episode of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s Horror and Lit Club, I do a massive review of "The Black Phone," starring Ethan Hawke. It's based on a short story by Joe Hill, and, well, I guess you can say that's fairly obvious. I also talk a bit about "The Hollow Places," a pretty decent eldritch horror novel from T. Kingfisher.

Sin Carriers 3 – Introductions 1:14:00

A team of misfits embarks safely, heading east. With nothing but time on their hands, our disparate cast makes their introductions, both to us, and to each other. Some of these first meetings are friendly, others awkward, and at least one close to deadly. The shadow of the mysterious Rider looms tall over our travelers, and it's no great reach to believe the Pinkertons have yet to abandon their chase.

Greater dangers still lay ahead, and before the crew of this train arrive at their first stop, one will be left terribly maimed. But who? You may find the answer to this question and more in episode three of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Sin Carriers, Introductions!

Scars in Time 18 – The Painting 1:01:23

Scars in Time 17 – The Clinic 57:21

In chapter 17 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, it’s clear that the events Ash’s presence in Gun Cotton has set into motion haven’t been slowed in the least by her return to her own time. After a lifetime of letting herself be slowed, sidelined, and stalled, she’s ready to break through into the shadowed history of her house’s basement. What she finds on the other side of the rough wall will be the beginning of the end of the life she’s known for thirty years. But knowing she has to face it, and wanting to, will make all the difference. Thanks for listening! Subscribe and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

In chapter 16 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, Ash’s desperate gambit in the Doctor’s hidden clinic has paid off, returning her home as though from a dream. Faced with the revelations of the clinic, many questions have been answered, but still more remain. Ash finds that Gun Cotton has taken a turn for the worse while she’s been gone. If she was really gone at all. In any case, it’s readily apparent that her work isn’t yet done, and this moment of happiness might be little more than a brief reprieve. Thanks for listening!

In chapter 15 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, the Doctor’s threats, and his condition, make it all too clear that Ash’s time in the Starling household is rapidly coming to a close. Doped on morphine and left to fend for herself, she’s swept up into the arms of a girl with the same name as long ago student Coraline. And bearing the same ethereal glow as her golden ghost. With the clock set against her, Ash will be forced to delve into the house’s most awful secrets, or risk becoming one of them.

In chapter 14 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, Ash realizes she’s stuck in this iteration of the house once she fails to find the garret she’s been looking for. Gone too is the typewriter, though she can still hear it faintly throughout the house. She adapts to her new job as a maid while trying to figure out a way home, the meaning behind that other her's urging to “Find the Medusa. Find the Artist.” It’s painfully clear, however, that the doctor’s own tenuous grip on sanity is rapidly slipping, and she might run out of time before she can find the answers she needs.

In chapter 12 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, there is no separating Ash from her visions now, and she doesn’t know if what she’s experiencing are visions at all. Seemingly thrust out of her own life and into one she’d rather die — rather kill — than live, she finds her headspace filled with memories of an existence that shouldn’t feel as familiar as it does. Desperate for a way out, but bedridden from smoke inhalation, Ash is forced to use every last ounce of wit to escape this new and horrific predicament. Thanks for listening!

As Ash dives into his sordid past, it’s readily apparent that, perhaps, not everything she’s writing is fiction. Even more to the point, the lines between Ash’s visions of Morgan’s life before that ill-fated meeting in Gun Cotton and Ash’s own life aren’t quite as solid as they should be. Thanks for listening!

When the ancient and overtaxed electrical grid in her house dies, however, she’s forced to trek back into Gun Cotton in search of a temporary source of light.

But their new home is anything but perfect. Years of neglect have left it near in ruins, and with the high pressures of her new practice, Darcy will have to leave much of the work to Ash. Determined to not be a burden, Ash takes a plethora of chores onto her shoulders, possibly biting off more than she can chew in the process. As she’s exploring her new home ahead of the planned renovations, she stumbles across something that’s been hidden away for a long time.

Oh, Heaven 56:05

It's good to have a goal to keep you motivated, to keep you grounded, but letting that goal become an obsession is never healthy.Today's story concerns a longtime sailor whose dissatisfaction with his work life is manifested in his obsession with a small Pacific island. His desire to return there after a brief shore leave intensifies until it seems only violence, possibly even mutiny, will allow him to return to his own, personal heaven.

Best Roses, Manassas, West Virginia 1:40:40

Today’s story concerns a group of older folks, the tip-top of society who live on a secluded hill in West Virginia. Despite an all-consuming fire steadily, surely approaching them, they’re content to squabble amongst themselves about old feuds and grudges. That is, until one of them finds a seemingly innocuous sign that sets about the events that will bring an end to their little hilltop community.

The Umbrella Man 1:49:57

Most of us — all of us, hopefully — had a small, comfortable group of friends in high school we seemed to do everything with. The folks who seemed to always be around, showing up, dragging you out to do this or that. Today’s story concerns the end of just such a group of friends as they begin their senior year of high school. These four aren’t lucky enough to simply grow apart, however, because some twisted and crooked thing has endeavored to make their parting far more deadly.

In this continuation of the four-part series Tota Americana, Alex continues traveling through the wide open spaces of the American Great Plains, coming across an odd, lonely girl sitting by herself on a train platform.

It’s on the Great Planes of this country where we resume our story, the tale of a young person named Alex who is traveling across this country to the resting place of a barely known father. The hope is to find some deeper understanding of self through this visitation, but the paths ahead are riddled with pitfalls and parties of a dubious nature. Marks have been set into flesh that leave the scent of blood to linger on the wind, drawing forth a greater evil from the depths of the American Heartlands. A thing beyond reckoning, which must be faced in time.

In the last months of a war he does not yet know has all but ended, he’ll be pushed to carry out orders beyond the scope of anything he’s ever, even in his worst nightmares, thought could come to pass. And we’ll see if those golden tethers of loyalty, so valuable and yet so easily broken, will bend him to the task at hand.

Ghost Story (Part Two) 48:25

Last episode, we left the subject of our story, a young man named Barden, on his lonesome in his hermitage of a flat in Paris. He’s been bothered by strange knocking from the apartment downstairs, and visions of some pale-faced apparition that may or may not be a symptom of his self-imposed isolation.

Barden is a man who likes solitude not because he enjoys it, but because it suits him and he’s afraid of trying anything else. But he’s started hearing the first low peels of bellsong in the foggy Parisian night, and soon he may find the call of at least one of those long and lonely notes too enticing to ignore.

The Gap on Gable Street 44:27

Life has a pace, a rhythm. It’s always unsettling when things disturb it. The death of a friend, an injury, an accident, when the unexpected comes calling it usually visits with bad news in tow.
Today’s story is about a man who sets his watch by life’s banalities. He lives a boring life, a life he generally enjoys, but things are about to change for him. It starts small, a gap appears on a street where there was no gap. But even a small change in a boring life can have extraordinary effects.

Today’s story is about just that sort of man, a reserved individual sent to a small village in the back country of a seemingly medieval country, tasked with finding out why people passing by the village are being branded as criminals and hanged.

They All Come By 31:15

We all feel lonely sometimes. Some of us never really feel like we’re not alone, even when we’re surrounded by people. For guys like me, and our main character, that means slinking out to the bar. Secreting yourself away somewhere dark and comfortable, where it’s okay to be a man on his own.
Thing is, that kind of lifestyle can wear on you. It can get too comfortable, and the loneliness might end up becoming your only friend. You become a man alone, sitting at a bar, waiting for friends you barely know, who might not show at all.

HLC – Interview with horror creator and artist Nic Boone 2:13:16

This month's HLC is a continuation of our interview series, this time with Nic Boone, a horror creator and artist who's worked on numerous video games, including League of Legends. He's also very well read on the social and economic issues facing artists these days, and so I invited him on to talk horror, his work, and the threats facing working artists in the modern market. We talk at length about AI, workers rights, and the grim future of art if the people who make it don't learn to band together and stick up for themselves.
If you're the politically weary sort, or get upset when you hear non-status-quo opinions about politics, economics, etc., this episode may not be for you. We get out in the weeds on some issues, but I have say quite expressly that these are issues I'm very passionate about and that have deep and profound effects on folks like me being able to make art and hold onto the fruits of my labor. So, if you could give it a listen with an open mind, even if you disagree, I'd appreciate that!

A super duuuuuper long episode of the Westside Fairytales podcast’s Horror and Lit Club in which I ramble at length about home repairs, Castlevania, my take on the new pride flag, and I deliver a roughly two-hour-long script revision of the new Conjuring movie from James Wan. I say that the Conjuring is a Blumhouse feature a bunch of times during this, which is incorrect, but it's so like a Blumhouse movie I decided to forgive myself. The script doctor is the last like two hours or so of the episode, so skip ahead if you just want to hear that.
