Our story this week, called "The Three Sisters," is continuing a very humanizing trend for ogres which has thrown us for a bit of a loop. And to make matters worse, we have to consider an atypical heroine paradigm. It's a head-scratcher, folks. Suggested talking points: unlucky in math, a mattress of chaff, secret married, night prince business, doctor huddle, couple's jaywalking, Gregsi...

We have a good spooky story in "The Painted Skin," a story featuring an incompetent priest, some characters that almost have understandable motives, and a little tie-in to one of our favorite reoccurring characters.
