Episode 40: Revival by S.T. Gibson
Revival is a short story by S.T. Gibson appearing in the folk horror anthology The Fiend in the Furrows. A young girl, granddaughter to the Reverend and keeper of snakes used to show the movement and devotion of the Holy Spirit, finds herself on Revival day filled with some spirit-but what is it that is truly speaking to her?

39. Tam Lin
Tam Lin comes to us from Scotland and Childe’s ballads. Tam Lin is a human captured by the fairy queen who spends his free time tormenting fair maidens in the woods of Carterhaugh. After a tryst with fair Janet who becomes pregnant with his child, they devise a plan to free him from being the Halloween tithe. This version combines many of the story points from the earlier ballads with a bit easier listening and updated language from Jennifer Holm.

38. Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker
It is Walpurgisnacht, and we find ourselves in Munich before leaving for Transylvania to be a guest of Count Dracula. Our titular Englishman, interested in taking some local sights, wanders into a desolate valley and finds himself at nightfall in a cemetery beset by a curious storm and strange forces. This story is thought to be a preliminary chapter of Dracula that was later removed, with our main character being Jonathan Harker.
