Perdition City Station
Jarad and Julie travel through the theology of the afterlife by train, bus, auto, ferry, and on foot. First stop Perdition City Station, last stop? Who knows?
They will be joined by cats, an occasional guest, ghosts, and a dead guy named Morty who came to hang out one Halloween and never left.
Come for the laughs, stay for the suffering.

The Witch of Briar Hollow: Tropes on a Knife's Edge
In this episode, Jarad and I discuss The Witch of Briar Hollow, by Wes Wickley. Among our many tangents, we talk about what it means to be evil and whether it's even possible to write a horror story that fully embraces the traditional morality of folklore. The tropes and motifs that represented good and evil seem to be in flux right now and writers need to walk a fine balance.
