What’s the weirdest way to disappear? Imagine if simply picking a flower caused you to vanish… forever. It might not be so bad, but then again, you could end up in the clutches of an evil deathless monster for the rest of your mortal existence. Is it a risk you’d take? As an obsessive gardener, my fate is sealed, but there’s hope for you from this old dark story!

"What came of picking Jessamine" ("What came of picking flowers") is a Portuguese fairy tale from Andrew Lang's Grey Fairy Book. I have added my voice, light commentary, and some animations during the telling of it!

Can’t sleep, or have too much buzzing in your brain? Let my obsession with old stories and folklore soothe and distract you! Join me for a spell as I read old forgotten fairytales, ghost stories, full books, and other creepy classics. Make yourself comfy and cozy, summon your familiars, and quiet your mind for a soft-spoken storytime! It's spooky yet soothing, and while some tales can get dark and grim, I’ll be awake the whole time so you don’t have to worry about a thing! To catch the latest episodes, check out a bit late wherever you listen to podcasts. Sweet dreams and stay spooky friends, fiends, and night owl supremes, and I’ll see you a bit later on a bit late!

What do endless wine, Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, and YuGiOh have in common? If you pictured a very tipsy Harry Potter wearing the invisibility cloak and dueling Seto Kaiba… you’d be mistaken. Let’s gets weirder than that! Add in catastrophic wishes, a horse that can climb anything in the world, map-obsessed giants, enchanted artifacts, and an old reclusive woman who routinely drugs any house guest she has… and we’ve got ourselves a very dark and twisted centuries-old tale! And of course, it’s even creepier when you stare too deeply into its depths…
