Episode Description from the Publisher

For years, listeners have asked for more original fiction. Today, I'm proud to share the first chapter of DREAMWOOD. When a struggling father takes a job repairing a strange house on the New Jersey shore, he discovers a doorway to a forgotten kingdom where fairy tales have rotted, stories hide terrible secrets, and children can disappear forever. Part dark fantasy, part fairy tale, and part meditation on grief, DREAMWOOD is a story about loss, redemption, and the lengths a parent will go to save a child. This is Chapter One. Want more? Chapter Two is available immediately for Apple Subscribers and Patreon members, with new chapters arriving every week. Welcome to Dreamwood.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
