It’s that week between Christmas and New Years, my favorite time of year. Time to tidy up lose ends, get a little silly, spend time with your social life, and head to the club to indulge.

Author Kate Philbrick writes horror historicals and creepy fantasies to amuse herself and friends. Scribblings of the strange variety have appeared in random anthologies over the years, and she is presently on the staff of Weird NJ Magazine. She had the pleasure of editing Richard O’Brien’s (yet to be published) autobiography, though writing fiction is what she most enjoys. Current projects include the Steampunk series Ashlands, and the Mudlark, a Victorian tale of horror, sequel to Unburied Dead. Poorly disguised as a normal person, Ms Philbrick is employed as curator in a local historical museum.

Narrator John Longenbaugh is a Seattle-based writer and playwright, and the creator of the Steampunk adventure serial BRASS, which is available as an audio drama, a series of stage plays and a short film.

Once a year we go back to where we got our start for the traditional Christmas broadcast from a city that doesn’t exist except as smudges on disks in an unknown server farm.

Yeah, there was a script. It was going to be more produced. The girls were going to sing the song. But 2016 being what it was, maybe simplicity was the better approach.

Godspeed.

What is in that powder my brother keeps taking? A classic fright from 1895, said to have been an early influence on HP Lovecraft. Junie Ginsburg narrates.

Arthur Machen was born in Wales and became enamored with mysticism and the occult at an early age. The Novel of the White Powder was part of The Three Impostors, a novel composed of a number of interwoven tales, in 1895. The novel and the stories within it were eventually to be regarded as among Machen's best works. However, following the indecency scandal surrounding Oscar Wilde later that year, Machen's association with works of decadent horror made it difficult for him to find a publisher for new works until later in his career. Publisher John Lane, wary of the atmosphere, asked Machen to censor his manuscript. Barring the omission of one word, Machen refused to comply.
