TRIGGER WARNINGS: Mental health discussions in the first story, “Thief.” Child death in the second story, “Roadside.” Terminal illness in the third story, “Wandering Spirits.”

This special Halloween episode was written by Erin B. Lillis and produced by Alex Woods. It included three spooky sapphic stories by guest writers.

The first, Thief is by Jason Hayashi - a maturing young LGBTQ+ demon with a penchant for horror and dreams of writing full time in the future. The story was produced by Alex Woods, narrated by Erin B. Lillis and featured the guest voice of Angelique Lazarus. Angelique can be found on Twitter at @AngeliqueVoices. 

Our second story, Roadside, was by N.M. Brown. Brown writes horror that makes you ask yourself the questions you've trained your mind to hide. She is known for specializing in domestic horror, but has started to branch out towards science fiction horror as well. The story was produced by Alex Woods and narrated by Victoria Juan from the CALLING DARKNESS podcast.

Our final story, Wandering Spirits, is by Robin Alexander. The story was produced and narrated by Erin B. Lillis.  Born in 1965, Robin Alexander grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she still resides. An avid reader of Lesbian fiction, Robin decided to take the leap and try her hand at writing. It didn't take long for her favorite hobby to become a full-time author. With over two dozen titles in print with Intaglio Publications, Robin's books have fast become a favorite among fans of lesbian romance. Robin approaches everything with a sense of humor, which is evident in her style of writing. The full text of Wandering Spirits can be read on Robin's website.
