November 16, 2022 296A-Greek Myths: To Bewitch or Not to Bewitch
Lucius’s lifelong dream, as of ten minutes ago, is learning how to do sorcery. Luckily, he’s not only in a city crawling with witches who are slicing bits off people’s faces to do their magic and bringing wineskins to life, but his hostess is a sorceress herself, and all he has to do is catch her in the act.

The creature is the Lizard Man, lover of sinking his claws into cars…and his teeth into some Filet-o-Fish sandwiches.

November 09, 2022 295-1001 Nights: What's in the Box?
The story of a merchant gets lost ducking out early from a funeral and who ends up sleeping in a graveyard…and that’s somehow the least scary thing that happens to him that year.

The creature is the Sirin, and they’ll only sing for you if you’re super happy and harmonious. So, kind of never.

October 26, 2022 293-Hans Christian Andersen: The Little Things
Two stories, two small things making enormous problems. We have "The Princess and the Pea" and "The Red Shoes". For two stories about young women learning and growing, they contain kind of a lot of dismemberment.

The creature is Striga! And she's the reason to put on that extra loaf of garlic bread and leave pig bones all over church.
