Aaron Vlek is a storyteller who works with the trickster mythos in its role as  bringer of delight and proponent of disquieting humors. Some of her (yes, her) stories center around the goings on of the jinn, and of a universal imagining of the Native American character, Coyote. Some works are historical in setting while others occupy a contemporary and urban landscape. She also indulges frequently in the reimagining of classic themes of horror and the occult. Aaron is a graduate of SarahLawrence College.

S2E8: “All Songs End on a Sour Note” by Jessica McHugh

Jon Grilz is the creator of the podcasts Small Town Horror and Creepy, and the “Crazytown” novel series. When not working on what the future holds for the town of Crayton, Minnesota, he can often be found with a confused look on his face, nodding solemnly to himself.

He’s that sound you hear, the footsteps in the woods when no one else is around. The groan of a floorboard in an empty house. The stifled sounds of weeping any time a student loan bill is opened…
