Chad Fifer and Chris Lackey talk through horror, fantasy, and strange literature with warmth and wit, while readings, music, sound design, and occasional guests make the stories feel alive. It is especially good for listeners who love classic horror, pulp fiction, gothic literature, and smart conversation that never feels too academic.
