#38: The Bulwer-Lytton Contest

On this Dark and Stormy Night the Cru tackle the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, writing atrocious first sentences for different genres, including: adventure, young adult, crime/detective, dark&stormy, fantasy/horror, historical fiction, purple prose, romance, scifi, vile puns, and westerns. This is a weird episode full of horrid writing, and we hope you enjoy it. Fair warning, some of these get a wee bit raunchy...Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
