    Feary Tales is officially back! It's time for a new season of spooky tales and creepy history. In tonight's season 3 premiere, I, along with my new co-host Abbey, of Beautiful Places to Die, will be discussing the legend of Jack the Ripper and his very real crimes, as well as the very real killers he inspired over the last 150 years. We'll be covering what makes a ripper style killer unique and diving into the cases of other real rippers. We'll then cover the legendary Jack himself and the works of fiction that he inspired.

  • Feary Tales Archive - Feed my Frankenstein

    This week, I'm going back to the early 19th century and taking a look at the classic horror novel, Frankenstein.

    Join me as I discuss the tragic life of author Mary Shelley, her influences as she created what many regard as the first true science fiction novel and her views on philosophy and morality. I'll also discuss the wide range of movies, shows, plays and parodies inspired by the Frankenstein Monster and touch on Greek mythology and the story of Prometheus.

  • Feary Tales Archive - We're the Dream Warriors
    Sleep has a way of controlling every creature on this earth, none more so than humans. But what happens when the safety and security of that sleep and the accompanying dreams is compromised? Join me in the Season 3 premiere as we seek to answer that question and look into sleep paralysis, sudden deaths while sleeping and lucid dreaming. We will also be exploring the nightmares we experience and the monsters that stalk our dreams, namely one specific dream demon and his attacks on the children of Elm Street. That's right, we're diving in the horror franchise Nightmare on Elm Street and the legacy that is Freddy Krueger.

  • Feary Tales Archive - The Werewolves Among Us

    Since the beginning of humanity, stories have been told about the beasts and creatures that stalk the night. Unexplained murders and vicious attacks became pinned on these beast-men and legends were woven of vicious warriors becoming like animals on the battlefield. Hear that howling in the distance? Lock the doors, grab the silver and your wolfsbane, and brace yourself for the coming of -- the Werewolves.


    This week I'll be reading an old Irish Folktale that inspired Stephen King's The Cycle of the Werewolf, then I'll dive into the long history of lycanthropes, how the lore has grown and changed with the rise of the monster movie, and cover whom I believe are the five best werewolves of all time.
