Chapter 2 picks up in the eerie aftermath of a stormy night, where tension lingers in the air like the stench trailing a mysterious diner patron.

What should have been another false alarm quickly takes a chilling turn when he discovers a shattered window—jagged teeth of broken glass framing an open maw into the unknown.

In this episode, author Rudy Stankowitz reads from his chilling psychological thriller Blades of Glass, available now on Amazon. Chapter 1 introduces us to trauma nurse Willow Sullivan on a routine ER shift, where she encounters the unforgettable "Count Timmycula"—a four-year-old vampire-in-training with a clove of garlic lodged in his ear. But the lighthearted moment fades as an eerie sense of foreboding settles over her.

Elsewhere, in a late-night diner, a shadowy figure lurks—silent, observant, and unnervingly focused. As drunken college students revel in their football victory, a seemingly harmless conversation between a waitress and the mysterious man takes a dark turn when she mentions a gruesome discovery along the highway. The air thickens with tension, and a sense of imminent danger builds.

Meanwhile, at a remote rest stop, law enforcement officers piece together the scene of a brutal crime. Two victims lie in the wet grass, their throats ripped apart in a way that defies explanation. Is it a savage animal attack—or something far more sinister?

Join Rudy Stankowitz as he brings Blades of Glass to life in this haunting chapter, setting the stage for a dark and gripping thriller where every shadow hides a secret, and no one is safe.
