Welcome to Stories From The In Between. Gather 'round... There is a space between reality and fantasy. Between light and dark. Between rational and irrational. In this space, there are merchants, purveyors and traders of all things of value. This space is known all over the world and has many names. Hades, Tophet, and The Inferno are just a few.  Most call it Hell and Hell is where our Holiday origin story takes place.  Two horrible men, damned for all eternity, suffer even more every year because here, holiday spirit cascades like poison in the air. They are Mr. Beastly and Mr. Ghastly and all are welcome to barter and haggle with them. Come on in, the shop is open round the clock. No shirt, no shoes, no soul…no problem.  All stories have an origin, even one that end with God bless us. Everyone.  Beastly & Ghastly was written in blood by Pi Rational Writer with characters based on "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. All voices and narration in Beastly & Ghastly's hell-scape are brought to life...and brought to death...by Sara Sheckells. Music elegantly composed and audio engineered by David Williams: http://williamsflutes.com THANK YOU FOR FREQUENTING BEASTLY AND GHASTLY.
