EDITOR’S NOTE: At 8:15 and 8:25, Jack erroneously uses the term “Southern Gothic” when he meant to say “Gothic”. Around the time of this recording, they had been reading about the differences between the two and they accidentally said the wrong one. Apologies for any and all confusion.Jack is back! Our hosts discuss some of their favorite songs and musicians that lean toward the darker or spookier side of things with their subject matter.

Our hosts discuss two stories suggested to them by Patreon supporter, Jierda! In the first, Jack talks about the shoes that keep washing up on the shores of British Columbia. Then Daekon tells us the story of Anatoly Moskvin. This episode truly encompasses both weird and macabre. As such, we especially urge our audience to heed the trigger warning at the beginning of the episode.

In October of 2015, Jack wrote and posted a story to Reddit’s NoSleep forum. Since then, Mr. Sweetly became a series and has been read on several podcasts of note, including The NoSleep Podcast. It has also been the subject of some fan art, including a fan film by Noah Tubbs, called “Before the Billy Incident a Mr Sweetly Story.”

Since this episode is slated to release on Jack’s birthday, May 20th, our hosts talk about this series… Followed by some silliness that you could only expect from Daekon and Jack.
