The Littleburg witch Celeste Granting has to give up her practice and go back to her prosaic old name-- Laura Appleby-- because the invisible world has gone silent since the ghosts were fired from the hotel.
Laura no longer believes in the woo-woo stuff: She will devote herself to the dreary mantra IT IS WHAT IT IS.
But then she realizes that Pluto is about to go into Aquarius , for the very first time since the tumultuous years between 1777and 1797. Our war of independence and the French Revolution. What heads are going to roll this time? Buckle your seatbelt and get out the popcorn. This announces a wild ride through living history. Come back for the next episode.

The Cold Light Of Reality

‘Serial Tales’ are set in Littleburg, the Hudson Valley hamlet that time forgot, until time remembered it.
In Littleburg, the veil is so thin that the other world is in your face, and half the population are shamans. The psychic old guard must incorporate the post-Covid newbies , which leads to some powerful collective hallucinations, including, perhaps, the Second Coming. As a result , local hotel owner Vince and millionaire pop star renter Cobbler Martin think they have been given the mission to fight the darkness with light. Magical realism full of twists, laughs, and gut-punches told with a velvet voice, these stories owe a debt to Philip Pullman, MR James,  Saki, John Wyndham, and  ‘Lady Asquith’s Third Ghost Book’ These spoken serials began in September 2021 on Radio Free Rhinecliff with ‘The Companion Fog’ , an 8-chapter novella about a cloud you have custom-made to protect you from bad news. Season 1 of Littleburg is available at radiofreerhinecliff.org/joan-juliet-buckrsquos-serial-tales.html .


Laurie Anderson’s disquieting theme music sets the tone.
