It’s the penultimate “Dark Descent” story and it’s a whopper! “The Hospice” is quintessential Robert Aickman: it’s creepy, offbeat, weird, strange, chilling and inexplicable.

| 1/28/24 |  The Dark Descent – “The Beautiful Stranger” by Shirley Jackson | This week, Willow and Phil take a quick look at a quick story: “The Beautiful Stranger” by Shirley Jackson.
