Black Magic Treehouse episodes

  • Uncovered by Paul Jennings - "Forever"

    On this episode of the podcast, Eric regales Jose with a tale from an aptly titled collection by Paul Jennings: Uncovered!: Weird, Weird Stories. Together they UNCOVER the touching story of a boy on crutches and his toilet-paper-obsessed brother, who only communicates by barking. Maybe Eric should have vetted this one before reading it for the first time on the podcast, but it's too late now! No wonder Jose sounds so tired.
