Podcast appearances and mentions of Nelson W Pyles

I am culling the shelf in this video. Some of these I liked and want to pass on, some were not for me and one... I did not even read. Most un-haul videos feature tens of books, or over a hundred. I simply don't buy books like that I suppose, and have six to talk about. These are not slam reviews either, but honest points as to why I am setting these books free, to be hunted by others in the wild. Also, my progress on James Patterson's 'Virgin', a release day for 'All These Steps Lead Down' by Nelson W.

Season 10 continues with a wet and Wicked wild wade into the waves.Nicola Hope is exhausted, tired, buggered even.She spends most of her time sweating like a pig in the Horny Haggis kitchen, but now that she's done for the day, all she wants is to sit at the bar and guzzle down all the beer in the world - and maybe just maybe, if she's lucky enough, she might even score a little action.It's always nice not to spend the night alone. But that all disintegrates like a politician’s promise when her mother texts. Mostly everything Nicola loves crumbles when Mammie touches them, and Mammie likes nothing more than touching the things that makes her daughter happy.Set in Dreich, the same damp Scottish town as "The Nun's Cat", Myk Pilgrim's contribution to The Wicked Library's 13 Wicked Tales Anthology – “A Fish Doesn't Know” is about the terrible joy at seeing yourself as you are.Told by: Erika SandersonCustom Score: Nico VetteseVoice of the Librarian: Nelson W.

Today we conclude our celebration of Women in Horror Month at the Wicked Library with a terrifyingly wicked tale by Aaron Vlek.Alfonse de Cartier is the modern day descendant of one of the greatest mambo priestesses New Orleans has ever seen. Unfortunately for Al, as his colleagues at the New Orleans police department call him, all that made his forebear great has eluded him. That is, with the exception of the family patron, the Lwa of Death, the Lord of the Crossroads, the Baron Samedi himself. A series of unusual deaths become a test for de Cartier as his patron, the Baron, tries to enlighten him on the basics of the uncanny art of dying, while, The Baron Samedi himself must deal with a presumptuous adversary who would seduce him and rob him of what is rightfully his.Author: Aaron VlekTold by: Denise Michelle Johnson | Guy Fortt | Nelson W.

Our friend Frank Enfield finds himself once again far, far away in exotic lands well beyond his imagining. Beautiful misty valleys and trails winding through the glorious lush green mountains of Iga Province in Japan. The perfect place for a little well deserved R&R.Frank is free to wander those peaceful vales to his little old heart’s content; its trails lined with charming little lanterns and shrines and the inviting roadside hut now and then where our weary traveler might stop and take refreshment and spend a peaceful night, if he dares! Just don’t wander off the trail for any reason at night because these misty vales and valleys are filled with ghosts, and some of them don’t like strangers and your dreams are your only protection!Oh, did I remember to remind Frank that Iga Province is the home of the Ninja and their notorious proclivity for all things mysterious very, very deadly. Well, nothing to worry about THERE, eh kiddies?CreditsAuthor: Aaron Vlek | Editor: Daniel Foytik | Adapted for Audio by Daniel FoytikCast: Frank Enfield – Daniel Foytik | Old Man / Middle Aged Man – Eric WheeldonMusic and Score: “The Private Collector Theme” and Episode Score – Nico Vettese (wetalkofdreams.com)Producer / Showrunner: Daniel Foytik | Executive Producer: Aaron VlekFinal audio mix: Daniel Foytik, 9th Story Studios: 9thstory.comThe Private Collector was created by Aaron Vlek and Daniel Foytik, based on the character “The Librarian” created by Nelson W.

It seems Frank made it back all in one piece, in a manner of speaking, from his leisurely little vacation out west with Coyote. But now it’s time to get back to work and he’s on his own this time. It seems a stranger has turned up dead at the old Jessup place and Frank pulls out the toys of his trade to find out what’s happened. Besides that corpse done up in its fancy duds there’s a brand new well out back and well, let’s just say it’s not refreshing spring water that’s oozing up from its murky depths.Tune in to see Frank at work and in his element on some fine old time occult sleuthing, with The Librarian peeking over his shoulder now and then to make sure he doesn’t make a right fine mess of things in HIS TOWN!
