A Chicago Prescription for Beauty and Bloodshed S1E08

What this episode covers

Hold tight to those martini glasses as we take a time machine to 1890’s Chicago via the pages of “Devil in the White City” by Eric Larson. Lost your glass on the way? No problem. We’ll pour you a Prescription Julep as we read about the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893—as well as the sinister acts of H.H. Holmes, falsely hailed as America’s First Serial Killer. And because we can’t get enough of murder and gore, we’ll force you to stick around for a Red Wine Gin Sour and a reading of the short story, “Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper” by Robert Bloch. Looking to get a jump on next week? Check out fanfiction.net and search for “Angel of Persia” and “Frostbitten” to join us as Sam and Kassandra explore fanfiction for the first time!
