Just a brief chat about ways you can catch a flavor of Día de Muertos. With such a rich history, I wouldn't presume to pretend to be an expert. I will say I've enjoyed celebrating it for the past 20 years or so, and with almost all of my loved ones in the Afterlife, it has a special place in my heart!

I was a guest on the excellent podcast HAILING FREQUENCIES OPEN with my friend, Mike Jones and his co-host Damian! We were discussing the closest thing to a Halloween episode that the original series had, called CATSPAW.
In doing the research for the episode, I discovered that Robert Bloch, the writer, based the script on his short story BROOMSTICK RIDE. Here for your listening pleasure is the story, read by me!

I review four books I think people might enjoy reading for Halloween:
Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Tree, Sheena Morgan's The Real Halloween, J.W.Ocker's A Season with the Witch, and October Dreams, an anthology edited by Richard Chizmar and Robert Morrish.
Obviously... "Spoilers, Sweetie!"
