The Baroness (Chapter Two) Feb 21, 2022

Show notes

Chapter Two: "Celebration Vacations obviously kept whatever information it had confidential, as they didn’t want to metaphorically sink their multi-billion dollar flagship before her second voyage.
Most of all, the cruise ship and the horrors the virus had created within its hull were just one of thousands, millions of stories emerging in the wake of the worldwide pandemic."

The Baroness (Chapter One) Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Chapter One: "Now, here they were, about to board Celebration Vacations’ flagship, The Baroness of the Open Waters, taking a one-off repositioning journey, from Cancun to Venice, dubbed, “Love on the Waves.” The description in the emailed brochure told him this was, “an escape for couples celebrating anniversaries; a rocking honeymoon, a simple getaway with an old lover; the perfect place to meet a new one.”

Austin had been chosen."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 27) Dec 30, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Seven: "This was the woman Denny had married, had misquoted song lyrics to on a beach in Florida. The woman he’d spent twelve hour days studying with, preparing for exams, who he’d escaped from a one percenter biker bar in Cheyenne, Wyoming with, who he’d shared joy, grief, and sweaty sheets with. This was the woman who’d changed his life, who made it seem like there was something to live for.

And now she was hideous. A monster."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 26) Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Six: "After centuries of watching humans bumble around, fearing and fighting against their eventual demise, the entity had begun realize that the fragility of the tiny human mind was incapable of accepting their insignificance, that they were as fragile and unimportant as rocks or blades of grass."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 25) Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Five: "Everyone, it seemed, was iced over, stuck in place, waiting for someone else to make the first move, to cause the last crack in the dam.

And then a single, simple thought came to Denny’s mind: my wife’s dead.

It was as if this thought, this horrifying recognition, one that made the bile rise in Denny’s throat, was the final straw."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 24) Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Four: "The low murmur of harmonizing voices drew Denny into consciousness. His head throbbed, a dull ache emanating from the spot on the back of his skull where he’d been struck, and he didn’t want to open his eyes at first, fearing that any light might make the pain worse, but as he cracked his eyelids, he saw that illumination was not only minimal, but it was coming from only a single source.
The dregs of an afternoon sun stretched across the scarred concrete floor to where Denny lay crumpled against a plywood wall."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 23) Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Three: "Despite the rain pounding the windows and roof, the house suddenly felt full of life. Pulsing with hope. Kate awoke with a celebratory feeling, like it was Christmas morning.
Both of her blonde labradors, Roxy and Echo, were sitting by the closed bedroom door, tails swishing on the hardwood. They too, seemed to be feeling the vibrance and excitement that lay just beyond.
And then it was coming inside to greet them."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 22) Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-Two: "Before he slid he key into the lock, Denny could feel that something had changed. He’d only been gone for an hour. Two, max. But he could sense the shift. In the energy, the atmosphere.
Slender copper key pinched between thumb and forefinger, inches from the deadbolt, plastic motel diamond keychain swinging under his palm like a divining crystal, Denny stared at the fading paint on the carport door, and felt frozen.
Behind him, the rain began sheeting down, seeming to close off an escape back to the safety of his vehicle."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 21) Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty-One: "Getting out isn’t always as simple as we would like it to be. There are plenty of reasons why the “perfect place” might suddenly change into the space you desperately want to escape. A sudden infestation of unsavory insects or rodents. New neighbors that either like to blast K-pop until dawn, or who cover their windows with tin foil to mask the drug making operation inside. Maybe a new addition to the family brings the home to capacity.
Or, maybe its haunted.
You’ve got a restless spirit, or a poltergeist, hell, a demon, that’s making life unbearable. You can’t sleep, or eat. You can’t remember why you fell in love with the house in the first place. All that matters, is getting out."

The House Unsettling (Chapter 20) Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Chapter Twenty: "If you’ve been following this story, and clicked into this episode, you’ll notice how much shorter the duration is. Most chapters, with their intros, run around the half hour mark. But don’t let the truncated time fool you. A shorter chapter does not mean it is any less important.

In fact, this little guy has a lot to say. This is the season finale."
