We return to Graveside to talk about the eerie little game, Inscryption. Part CCG, part rogue-lite, part point-and-click puzzle game, it's truly a singular game - but one that's best played in a remote cabin, out in the woods. Let us give you the directions to get there. . .

For our next Graveside Picnic morsel, we sample the late horror master Peter Straub's Pork Pie Hat (from his collection, Interior Darkness). Part a coming of age tale, part bloody family drama, all of it a horror of family secrets that dare not be uncovered.
