True Crime Tuesdays on the Fearsome Fiction Podcast: The Phantom Barber of Pascagoula—A Hair-Raising Unsolved Crime

This week’s case comes with an element of dark humor, although nothing’s funny about a stranger breaking into people’s homes. Nobody died in this story. Nobody was even hurt, not at first. What we’ve got instead is something stranger—a criminal whose weapon of choice was a pair of scissors, whose target wasn’t a wallet or a life, but his victim’s hair. And for one summer in 1942, an entire Mississippi town lived in terror of a man who broke into bedrooms in the dead of night for no reason anyone could explain. And there’s more: even after an arrest and a conviction, people still aren’t sure the right man ever paid for it.

Fearsome Fiction Podcast: The Devil’s Wood Journal Entry 2
The Devi’s Wood Journal continues. A retreat for seekers. Seven strangers, sorted into two cabins by an unseen host known only as “Your Guide.” A note on every pillow promising freedom—from stress, from obligation, from the illusions we build for ourselves.
Our narrator arrives last, uncertain why they were chosen, uncertain what “occult” even means beyond the word’s true root: hidden, concealed, not readily seen. What begins as a fireside ghost story from a stranger named Phillip becomes something else entirely by the time the night is over—and it’s only the first of three days that some at the retreat believe may be their last.

The Devil’s Wood Project Nears Completion (Phase One)
I haven’t been this obsessed with writing and creating a project in a very long time. Something took old of me the first time I touched the walking stick that inspired all this. The book is set to release in September, and in tandem I’ve been almost frantically creating an entire world for the Devil’s Wood: book, videos, a separate journal being written after the fact by an anonymous source, and even a game!
