I absolutely loved narrating this wintry, dark tale about a goblin, his boy, and what comes creeping in the night by @amandacecelia.bsky.social!
Welcome to episode 726 and Happy Holidays! We have one tale for you this week, about a toy who searches for his purpose amidst the whispered secrets and gnashing teeth of a darkened nursery (by @amandacecelia.bsky.social).

Gentle reminder that not all Santas who come into your home tomorrow night are *good* Santas. Some of them are homicidal maniacs.

#buymybooks Did you know I wrote a novella riffing on the Dracula/Renfield relationship, but set in the world of hardcore indie death-match pro wrestling?
It’s called TURN (see what I did there?) and it’s available now on the ‘zon or direct from me.

To our friends celebrating Thanksgiving in the States tomorrow, make sure you know who's coming to dinner: Most cryptids like their turkeys roasted, monsters like their turkeys raw, and demons prefer them still gobbling. Trust us: do NOT try to feed a cooked turkey to a demon. 😬
