Nightmare Fuel Podcast--Episode Thirteen: The DARK SIDE of English Lit

Elizabeth Siddal as Ophelia

Good Evening...

Tonight's tales are taken from the torrid trappings of the story tellers, poets, painters, and movers and shakers of 19th century Britain.

I present to you...

The DARK SIDE of English Lit!

How dark is it? Well, you can tell it's really dark because I put the phrase DARK SIDE in all caps! That's how DARK it is!

The stories in this episode are the thing of literary legend. Oddly enough, they are all true. I've heard these stories time and time again over the course of my life. Now, I share them with you.

Tonights tales include...

1. Jane Austen's Lost Brother

2. Rossetti Digs Liz

3. Percy's on Fire for Mary

I also weigh in on the season premiere of The Walking Dead. Who knew that zombies have a taste for woodchucks? Daryl and Sheriff Rick both know. No worries here, no spoilers in this episode.

I also read out some feedback from the talented and bright Miss Justine, of Justine's Halloween Blog.
Which you can read here: Justine's Halloween
You can also find Justine's Halloween in the LINKS OF DOOM to the left of this post.

Videos of the Week

Some speculate that Jane Austen haunts her old house in Chawton. I suggest she's just a free spirited woman.

Victorians were dead sexy. They had a taste of the morbid, and drank heavily of it. This video is about the seance craze and Elizabeth Siddal's passing.
