Smiling Horror Regina Walker

A book recommendation for and excerpt reading from Scratches by Joshua Marsella followed by A Librivox recording of The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde and an after credits, Verse 1 cover, tribute of Gordon Lightfoot's If You Could Read My Mind performed by Gillian Knight.

This episode features poetry in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe by Laura Schmidt and Fizzy along with Bob Neufeld's Librivox recordings - An Appreciation of Edgar Allan Poe and Poe's short story The Black Cat.

Laura Schmidt's lovely dark poem - River Water. Gillian Knight's flash fiction horror story, Talented Souls and Edith Wharton's short story, The Eyes.

The elephant in the room.  To ignore it would be impossible. 
Paula Pivko Martinek's revealing short story, The Door, exposes more than just a virus. While Edgar Allen Poe's, The Masque of the Red Death, finds its protagonist and his guests hiding behind masques hoping to avoid a dangerous plague. 

A beginning always has an ending and ending always brings forth a new beginning. So goes the circle of life. Join us for a scary good time with Gage Irving's, The Matchmakers Diligence, Gillian Knights sneak peak at her new Science Fiction novel, and H.G. Wells short, New Year's Day story, The Star.

Things get heated when Jenna's dead brother, Evan, shows up at his own memorial service with glowing red eyes. Only Jenna knows the truth or does she?
