In this episode we take a close look at the short story “October in the Chair” by Neil Gaiman.

______

 

The story can be found in the short story collection Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman. http://www.powells.com/book/-9780060515232 (In Fragile Things, you’ll also find the poem “Instructions,” which is our episode closing, what I am saying is, you need this collection!)
