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 22: The Book of the Were-Wolves Pt.3, or Russia's Last Best Chance?
The continuing exploration of the foremost inquiry into lycanthropy and werewolves produced in the last 300 years, Sabine Baring Gould's "Book of the Were-Wolves" part 3, where we begin the exploration of Medieval Europe's fascination and fear of werewolves. As an introduction I also take you on a little trip through the Russian wilderness as we uncover the gruesome true-crime tale of Russia's own Werewolf Killer, Mikhail Popkov. His crimes are seriously heinous, so if you'd rather skip over that terrible tale the time stamp for the start of the "Book of the Were-Wolves" is below.
