Hm, yes, the numbers must be about days. Which means tomorrow...

TOMORROW SOMETHING HAUNTING ARRIVES.

QUICK BEFORE IT GETS HERE, COME CLOSE: you'll want to listen past the credits every episode folks. We've got lots of sneaky scenes. And cool shows to introduce you to.

There are only three left. Do you suppose it's days? Strange coincidence, that, considering--

Is it just me, or are things getting intense around here?

Five! Of what, we cannot be certain. All we know is that there's been some sort of dwindling. We began at ten, and now we're halfway through...

It's rather ominous that the numbers are getting smaller, isn't it? Haunting, actually.

Oh, hmmm, maybe the whole squirrel number sitch is related to the fact that we've rescued our episodes from the void and uploaded them into this in-ter-net contraption... #FictionPodcast #AudioDrama

Our campaign raised $1298, which means with our grant funding sound design is almost completely covered. This is so huge, folks. Thanks to everyone who donated.

We're still hoping for a March release and we'll keep you posted as we get closer!

Oh, ooooh interesting. What IS our narrator up to this season, anyway???

Black, purple, and green graphic with purple quotation marks, phonographs at the corners, and the following script snippet from episode 23: THE NARRATOR It was 1930 something, and my parents had decided to relocate the entire family to New Mexico, because my father had tuberculosis and it was thought, at the time, that the dry, sunny climate could provide a cure. Father moved us not to one of the more popular sanatoriums in the north of the state, but to a ranch down near Roswell. He said we may as well get the “real cowboy experience” while we were in the middle of nowhere. Out on the ranch under an endless blue sky that I found a bone. I thought it was an animal bone at first. From a prairie dog, maybe, or some small, scampering thing that had succumbed to a coyote. But it was human. A finger bone, to be precise… (chuckles, wryly) Like any self-respecting child of Victorians, I took it home with absolutely no consideration of the possible consequences.

Black, purple, and green graphic with purple quotation marks, phonographs at the corners, and the following script snippet from episode 29: MYRTLE Well, this is interesting. CAS I didn’t expect them to be expecting us. (pause) They can’t be expecting us us, right? NICK No way. Which means they’re expecting that violent lady. MYRTLE It does seem that way.
