The Private Collector returns. This show explores The Librarian’s mission and delves deep into the occult and mystical realms in a way sure to give you the whim-whams!

Story: “Crime Scenes Just Ain’t What They Used to Be”, by Aaron Vlek

It seems Frank made it back all in one piece, in a manner of speaking, from his leisurely little vacation out west with Coyote. But now it’s time to get back to work and he’s on his own this time. It seems a stranger has turned up dead at the old Jessup place and Frank pulls out the toys of his trade to find out what’s happened. Besides that corpse done up in its fancy duds there’s a brand new well out back and well, let’s just say it’s not refreshing spring water that’s oozing up from its murky depths.

Tune in to see Frank at work and in his element on some fine old time occult sleuthing, with The Librarian peeking over his shoulder now and then to make sure he doesn’t make a right fine mess of things in HIS TOWN!

STORY

Money and privilege often allow one to operate with impunity, but for one well off Boston elite, things are about to get interesting.

Reginald Early, Jr. is the heir apparent to taking over his father's company - a company that was also responsible for the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. But Reginald's arrogance and cruelty might interfere with those plans if he's not careful.

About the Author:

Sebastian Bendix is a Los Angeles based writer and musician, as well as host of a popular midnight horror film series, Friday Night Frights at the Cinefamily. He attended school at Emerson College for writing and has had fiction and non-fiction pieces published in both in print (Mean Magazine, Sanitarium Magazine and Xchyler Publishing) and online (CHUD.com, Encounters Magazine and Grinning Skull Press).

He has written several screenplays in the genres of fantasy, horror and sci fi, one of which, The Black Cradle, is in development as an independent feature. The Patchwork Girl is his first full-length novel. His second novel, The Stronghold, is nearing completion and will be out to publishers in 2016.

STORY

A story that takes place on an ill fated family road trip, this week's tale will make you realize even your worst road trips were never this bad. Deep in the desert, dark things await the Carter Family, from both without and within.

A modern tale with traditional Native American elements interwoven, you'll find much to fear on this dark trip.

About the Author:

Julia Benally, on one dark and stormy night (seriously) was born to the Bear Clan of the White Mountain Apache Tribe.

She discovered my love of story telling at a very young age and then she put the stories to paper. She loves to cross stitch, swing her nun-chucks (even when she hits myself), sing, hunt and fish. She makes other people eat the fish mind you. She loves making apple pie, especially from her own trees outside.

Julia has been featured in Sanitarium Magazine, Snapping Twig Magazine and A Shadow of Autumn Anthology.
