Enjoy an early release of the episode slated for Halloween, including an extended meditation on the significance of Halloween, the "autumn feeling", the difference between horror & weird fiction, Ray Bradbury's philosophy concerning death, and a review of Bradbury's The October Country, featuring a survey of its overall themes and a closer (and spoiler free!) reading of four of my favorite stories from the collection. Happy early Halloween to all who celebrate! There will be two additional episodes of Becoming-Spooky, both Patreon exclusive: one for all tiers, and one exclusive to Freigeists. After this, the series will conclude. That is, until next year.
