Skipping the main episode this week as a mini summer break to celebrate the show's second strangeiversary! And to thank you for two strange years, here's a narration of the classic short horror story, The Monkey's Paw, by W. W. Jacobs. You can use it as a sleep story if you like, I won't be offended.

👁️ Follow the podcast so you'll never miss a new strange story!

Remember, Strangers & Strangelings & Strangecetera: you can feel afraid and not be in danger.

🖤 Huge spooky thanks to my Patrons who help make the podcast possible: TJ Hodder, Gmanmusic, Ted, Keith, Tori, Octavia Corvidae, Keith 2, Mariel, and Doozerpindan!
