Bram Stoker Award-winning author Cynthia Pelayo joins the show this week to talk about her latest book, fairy tales, true crime, and Joyce Carol Oates' legendary short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" It's one of the most formative horror (yes, it's horror) stories of the 20th century, and we get deep into its meaning and power. Enjoy!
