Ep 15.5 - A Christmas Special
from Riverside Readings Hosted by Trent Mylie
We are in the season of giving, and I thought of no better gift for my lovely listeners than three Christmas stories tied up in a bow for one episode. These classic Christmas tales are all underscored by Andre Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra's The Nutcracker (1972). Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to what next year brings!

Bone and Sickle
Al Ridenour
BONE AND SICKLE explores historical topics related to folklore and horror. With acerbic wit and a scholarly penchant for the grotesque, rogue folklorist Al Ridenour delves into a wide but carefully curated range of topics illustrated by stories from historical texts. Narratives are given dramatic readings by “Mrs. Karswell” (Sarah Chavez) backed by richly produced soundscapes blending original music, sound design and effects. The source books, though real enough, are said to be pulled from an imaginary library on Ridenour’s imaginary estate situated somewhere in the neighborhood of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey. Each episode begins with our hosts briefly discussing goings-on in this world before diving into the topic to be explored. Occasional alternate-format episodes are devoted to readings of classic horror stories or curious texts of antiquarian interest. Ridenour is the author of “The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas” (2016) and “A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marv
