LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED. In this episode, I speak with the human witch Janelle Lassalle (and the demon Lilith) about her book based on her real life paranormal experiences, how demons helped medically diagnose what doctors could not, how Lucifer saved her from a Tinder date gone bad, what’s really behind the fear of demonic possession, and so much more.

---

HOLY FUCKING SHIT is a paranormal thriller based on the true story of Janelle's attempt to break a demonic family curse that began when her father kidnapped the CEO of Adobe in 1992. It tells the tale of 'Jennifer Albukhari', a researcher who can no longer ignore her sneaking suspicion that magick—and demons—are real.

Janelle Lassalle is an author, artist, actress and model based in Los Angeles County, CA. She holds a BA in English from UC Berkeley and has been creating content for over 10 years, with bylines in a number of top-tier publications including VICE, Rolling Stone and Forbes. Lassalle is also the author of The Ketamine Handbook A Beginner's Guide to Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD, and More, a nonfiction work distributed by Simon & Schuster.

In October of 2022, I had the honor of writing a show for a Halloween event at the beach, where storytellers spun tales for an audience sitting around a bonfire. My stories were brought to life by the incredibly talented actress Nicole Javier, and the event was produced by Eric Vosmeier and David Ruzicka. It was truly a special experience and I’m really proud of what I wrote. So as a special Halloween bonus, I’d like to take you back to that night...
