Aaaaaaaand, we’re done! It’s “A Little Something For Us Tempunauts” by Philip K. Dick and “The Dark Descent” is over! PARTY HORN NOISE!

The Dark Descent – “The Hospice” by Robert Aickman
WE’RE SO CLOSE TO THE END! It’s the penultimate “Dark Descent” story and it’s a whopper! “The Hospice” is quintessential Robert Aickman: it’s creepy, offbeat, weird, strange, chilling and inexplicable. We really loved it and now… only one story to go!

The Dark Descent – “The Asian Shore” by Thomas M. Disch
What a mystery this story is! Willow isn’t sure if she likes it, or if it even qualifies as horror. I’m enamored of it, but can’t really decide what it’s about! PERFECT! It’s “The Asian Shore” by Thomas M. Disch!

The Dark Descent – “The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood
This week, it’s one of the most terrifying and terribly intimate stories we’ve yet covered. The cosmic horror of “The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood!

Customer Reviews
On board
This just became my favorite podcast! I can bearly speak highly enough!
1000/10!
Literally such a good podcast! It provides a great filler when you're in between books or movies. Phil and Ollie's relationship is refreshing and inspiring.
Great conversations
Love the discussions that you two have. One comment that I have is that now that you are going to do non-Del Toro movies it would be great if you can tell us where we can watch these movies.
Love the show and keep up the great work.
