Two tales today from a master of short horror fiction, none other than Ambrose Bierce:The Boarded Window delves into death on the frontier, and An Inhabitant of Carcosa covers the aftermath of a nasty illness. Then stick around for some new music from the maestro, a piece called "Pandemonium 3."

Three tales today! Golden Apples, about a Norse goddess with some tasty recipes. Selkie crosses the North Sea to a remote point in Scotland: try the haggis! The Gorgon takes a familiar tale and sets it firmly on...er...its head. Clsing out the show, new music from Tim called It's Getting Closer.Art by Mert Özbağdat from Pixabay
