This week we head to the beach to have an old fashioned beach bonfire for our stories.

Oh wow, living out in the woods makes a man hungry. Maybe we can snack on an alley cat, cook up a turnip with a little face, or steal the sustenance from our puny, weakling neighbors... We're deep into the darkness with some more bone chilling tales. If you have an electric blanket for our chilled bones, we'd truly appreciate it.
