Spoop season is upon us and strange forces took control of Cass and Nat to compel them to share some scary stories...or rather, some history of scary stories. Cass sets the mood with the history of the gothic novel and Nat tells the tale of Philinnion and Machates, a classic tale of Boy Meets Ghoul.
