Yes, horror movies and books are immersive, but have you ever wanted to be the main character in your own horror story (without the danger)? If so, you’ve got to check out Eerie Games. These are tabletop role-playing games that put YOU in the driver’s seat of the horrifying action. Join me and Eerie Games designer Scott Falzone as we explore the ins and outs of horror games--from inhabiting the role as a kind of therapy to using these games to build foundations of genuine connection with others!

Do you believe in ghosts? What about communicating with the dead through space and time? Whether you think it’s all very real or an elaborate hoax, the idea of contacting the dead has a long and storied history, especially through the Spiritualism movement. Join me and author Kathleen Kaufman as we discuss spirits, mesmerism, Gothic tales, and the history behind her wonderful novel, The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey.

I’ve got an incredible guest for this episode: the very cool, very talented, and very fun CJ Leede! CJ is a horror writer, hiker, Trekkie, and all-around very interesting person.
