‘Twas the night before Christmas,

   And all through the podcast.

Not a listener was stirring,

   As we readied our broadcast.

Sound FX hung in the background with care,

   Lovingly accenting our voice actors’ flair.

For all those lamenting a Christmas NOT gritty,

   One without puns or subversions so witty.

Good news!  We’ve got just the present for you,

   (We’re really hoping that Dickens’ estate doesn’t sue).

So come one & come all – no time to inquire,

   It’s time for a tale full of noire, wise-cracks, and gunfire.

Roberta Cratchit is thrust all excitingly in peril,

   And so it begins…3 Crones’ “A Krampus Carol"

"October Country . . . that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and mid-nights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain. . . " (Ray Bradbury)

Come autumn people! Join us as we swap spooky stories around our Halloween hearth in a haunting celebration of folk tales, lore, and legends.
