Short People is back just in time for halloween with a ghost story written and read by Stephanie Burell.
A bonus Short People double feature. This week you get Two stories for the price of one! Hudson and Sam each read one of their earlier stories and are mercilessly grilled by special guest host Amanda Dash.
Guest Cody Hanna reads an excerpt from his in-process novel Halfway out of the Dark. Cody breaks our morbid streak by reading the first story on the show not to directly feature death!

Do you like time travel? Well you shouldn't and ill tell you why. On our second episode, the roles are reversed. Hudson reads a short story that he wrote and Samantha interviews him. Time travel is discussed.
