October 30, 2018 33.5 - Do You Remember Jeff?
They say that women apologize for way too much stuff, and so I'm just going to come out and say NOT SORRY and also SUPER PROUD to bring you this episode in which my mic is a little wonky, but not that bad promise, where we talk about Halloween stuff, short spooky stories you can find online, and try to explain bad internet jokes to one another.

Here's the link to this years jezebel scary story contest, enjoy at your own risk!

I'll probably link to a couple of the more specific ones we mentioned on the blog.

The subreddits we mentioned were r/creepypasta, r/nosleep, r/letsnotmeet, and r/unresolvedmysteries.

Next time we will be discussing Melmoth by Sarah Perry, it's available now. Read along with us and let us know what you think!
