31: 37.3 The Electric Chair: "Hope's Land of Candy"

A tragic tale of a sweet woman whose sweetest dreams turn most deadly...

We at Fireside Mystery Theatre present these stories without prejudice or agenda. Our tales of the electric chair are not meant to condemn nor condone. Rather, they are meant as an expression of our persistent exploration of the dark and unsettling.
