We are on a summer hiatus, but we will be returning with brand-new episodes soon! Please enjoy this classic episode on "The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson.

Shirley Jackson once again proves that she is the queen of creepy short stories, this time with her story "The Summer People." The story starts idyllic, like many of Jackson's stories. The Allisons are a wealthy older couple who summer in a cabin by a lake in rural New England. Their picturesque existence quickly turns nightmarish, however, when they decide to extend their trip and stay past Labor Day.
