Get the featured cocktail recipe: The Cosmos Are Calling

On this epi, we fill Gina’s newly opened bar, Last Call, with all kinds of spirits–and not just the kind she pours over ice–as we sit down with Lucia Peters, the author of the recently published book, “Dangerous Games To Play In The Dark.”

What can one expect to find within the pages of Lucia’s guide to summoning spirits? Well, in the forward she writes, “you might, therefore, think of this book as a sort of modern-day grimoire: a compendium of contemporary supernatural rituals–part encyclopedia, part instruction manual and part storybook–intended to guide you through the shadowy world of today’s urban legend games.” We would simply say it’s a super fun, spooky read that takes you back to those childhood games that scared the bejesus out of all of us.

Lucia also haunts readers with spooky stories of the strange and unusual on her website, The Ghost In My Machine. And as a freelance writer, she puts her talent of spinning words into stories to a diverse array of subjects. She’s covered from food and wine, to web culture, to technology, to career matters, to money matters, to pets, to true crimes, to true crime committed by pets…okay, maybe we went too far, but you get the idea. She’s a true master of conjuring spellbinding tales.
