We're starting sci-fi month with a smart-home story set in 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury!
“Haunted” was written, read and scored by Chad Fifer, with the generous participation of Heather Klinke.
We're casting weird fairy tale magic all month, beginning with the Russian classic The Soldier and Death!
Get unstuck in time with us as we begin Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, a profound novel about war, trauma and plunger-shaped aliens.

Chris and Chad are just as entertaining as the stories
I have just discovered this and their precursor HP Lovecraft podcast and I am in awe, as my title suggests Funny, Creepy and Informative - thank you both for enriching my day(s), best Regards Ali
Been listening since 7th grade; 10 years ago now!
Insightful and absolutely hilarious look at weird fiction. Starting out with the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, it has now moved far beyond him, and delves into many well-known and lesser known authors. The hosts are comedic geniouses, but while there are a ton of laughs to be had, they always treat their subject respectfully.
Since I have to Patreon feed, I forgot to subscribe to the SSofSS feed! Five stars!
