In this episode, we dish about the Eyebrow Disaster of 2016, add Toni Collette to our list of stone cold foxes, and try to figure out why Marissa hates British people. Eventually we do get around to discussing Nightmare Alley by William Lindsey Gresham, our chosen novel for this episode and take a deep dive into spiritualism, carnivals, and, strangely enough, Arthur Conan Doyle. We strongly recommend that you image search "Cottingley Fairies" before you start the episode. 

Obligatory spoiler alert as we do discuss this novel in its entirety as well as an obligatory content warning for animal abuse and alcoholism.
