Novel Meets Evil - Season 01 Episode 07 - MINISODE - "The Lonely Ones" Ray Bradbury meets Orville Weyant

The stories that scare often have a thread of truth in them. Sometimes there's much more than a thread, like when a story is based on a real person or series of crime. You'd never expect truth from Ray Bradbury one of the greats of American speculative-fiction. But in 'Dandelion Wine', Bradbury's debut novel, there's very little sci-fi or spec-fic to be found.

Season 01 Episode 01 - Lovecraft's 'Pickman's Model' meets Dahmer's Parlor

What’s in a picture? In HP Lovecraft’s short story ‘Pickman’s Model’ we enter Lovecraft’s imagination via a traumatized narrator who struggles to describe his horrific experiences until a photograph is discovered. Similarly, but non-fictionally, a photo was the undoing of one of our favorite creeps to analyze–The Milwaukee Cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer. Each of these stories–fictional and real–came to a screeching halt at the discovery of a simple image. If not for these photographs, who knows if ...
