I take a deep dive into the archives to find the creepiest lost treasures of the public domain. While the stories take center stage, I like to share some of the incredible information I come across while seeking out new topics, so I start each episode with some history, examples from true crime, science and other insights to get those little gray cells working. Then I give you my best dramatic read of horror, mystery, science fiction, paranormal, and just plain freaky fiction eeked from the greats of horror and fantasy and their lesser known contemporaries. These authors created mind-breaking, chill-inducing, legacies of literary genius. It is my mission to resurrect their masterpieces, and bring them back into our nights.
So, gather round, snuggle up tight, maybe turn on a light, and prepare for a fright!

Episode 19: The Beast of Gevaudan in Fact and Fiction
This week I delve into the legend of the Beast of Gevaudan, the terror of 18th century France. The Beast would kill over 100 and attack many more over the span of 3 years, but what exactly was the Beast? Come along with me this week as we explore the story from the perspective of a 19th century author, James Grant, as he writes a fictional account that reads like nonfiction. It's a terrifying tale told and retold over the years, growing in it's retelling as only a true Legend can. Is it a wolf, is it a werewolf, is it some hybrid creature, is it a trained lion sent to murder on behalf of some psychotic serial killer of a master? Follow along with me to see what the sensationalists and the sceptics have to say.
