The plot thickens – or the plotters are thick – or something like that.

One wishes they wouldn’t refer to “special specimens”. Creepy and ominous.

As always, our Storyteller spins a fine tale replete with twists and turns leading to switchbacks and nightmare inducing cliff-side terror. What a great journey through one decade and into the next.

Did they know Dr. Amesworth was crazy?
