Love all the spooky

Love the stories. Love the music.

Only criticism: Definitely need to branch out to other cultures like Dana does on Noble Blood. I loved the Djinn pod.

Also: Hi!

Duty iffy ,

Excellent detail

I really enjoy Lore. Nice detail and depth in story telling. The North Carolina episode is great coming from that state it all rang very true!
