In chapter 5 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, if there’s anything Ash can be sure of, it’s that her move to Gun Cotton has not alleviated her visions. To make matters worse, she’s become the unwilling witness to a suicide.

Despite her fragile mental state, Ash has to speak with the police and, while doing so, meets the enigmatic and somewhat frightening mayor of Gun Cotton. And, before the day’s over, she’ll have the key to her new home in hand.

This episode of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast's Horror and Lit Club is a discussion of "House on Haunted Hill" (1999) directed by William Malone and "Unsounded," a web comic by Ashley Cope. I also chat about the "Hannibal" TV show and talk a lot of shit about "Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance. Note, I called J.D. Vance by the wrong name for most of this episode.

In chapter 3 of Scars in Time, a fire leaves Darcy and Ash without recourse to do anything but head for West Virginia. Are Ash’s horrifying dreams a friendly warning, or a poorly veiled threat about what awaits her?

Ash and Darcy drive across America to their new home in the remote mountain town of Gun Cotton. A misty, almost forgotten place full of its own odd ghosts, some of which have been waiting a long time to meet Ash Littletree.

The first chapter in the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s first season-long, 20-part story “Scars in Time” takes you to Gun Cotton, West Virginia, a small, eclectic mountain town where the ever-thickening mists hold untold and horrifying secrets. We join Ash Littletree, now 30 years past the events of our tale, “The Umbrella Man,” as she journeys back to her home state to escape the funk that has overtaken her in middle age.

Once back in West Virginia, however, she’ll find the past she thought she’d left behind is still half-alive and waiting for her. And this time, she might not escape.

In this episode of the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club, Tyler talks about Maya Angelou's seminal 1969 work "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," and Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece of horror-fantasy, "Pan's Labyrinth." He also rambles at length about potentially racist bookstore layouts, the absolute travesty that is "Cannibal Holocaust," and the horrors of war.

Also, he meant to say "microtonal" music when talking about System of a Down, not "multitonal."

This month’s recommendations:

Literature recommendation: "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," by Maya Angelou

Random horror recommendation: "Pan's Labyrinth," dir. by Guillermo del Toro
