This month, we will be reading five tales of terror (one each Tuesday and Wednesday, until the end of October), and in this mini-sode we introduce them so you can read along, should you so perspire, er, desire.

They include "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Packerhaus Method" by Gene Wolfe, "The Girl with Hungry Eyes" by Fritz Leiber, "Singing My Sister Down" by Margo Lanagan, and "When the Fleet was in at Mobile" by Patricia Highsmith.

NO HALLOWEEN PUNS ALLOWED!
