My friends had one of those vibrating machines. It made for a lot drunken laughs.

The Brady Bunch "Exact Words Only" bit totally slew me. oh

I was wondering if The Lumber Room was going to be another Sredni Vashtar situation but this is perfect. The whole sense of justice is so true. My son (6) and I get into huge arguments because he won't back down on what he thinks is unreasonable. Objectively it's a good trait but it does drive me insane. As for Mesmerism I believe it was quite common as an Edwardian party game so she might plausibly have had a number of experiences with it before. After all this was that 1890s-1920s period where WEIRD SCIENCE was mainstream and taken seriously.

Listening to the description of the Brady Bunch murder episode and I suddenly realised that HPLLP is really an extended Twilight Zone. It'll be revealed at the end that Chad is lying on his therapist's couch and Rod Serling will be along in a moment to warn us of falling too deeply into fantasy.

I wouldn't not join a cult one o' y'all started.

And do look up stuff on dear old Franz Mesmer. Such a wonderful weirdo.

Sorry to be that guy but I want to make a small correction. Chad stated that not taking children to a circus in a neighboring town would be negative reinforcement, it would not be. Negative reinforcement is increasing the likelihood of a behavior by removing something aversive. In the circus example I would say if the children were knew ahead of time they were going to a circus it would be negative punishment because you would be taking something desirable away from the children to decrease a behavior. If the circus was a lie and they were never going to it in the first place I would say that would be closer to positive punishment because you are adding an interaction with the child for the sole purpose of decreasing a behavior. A good rule of thumb is if an action decreases a behavior it is punishment if it increases it , it is reinforcement.

The She-Wolf is my favourite Saki story so loved hearing you cover it - given the stuff usually covered it’s almost a weird tale meets drawing room comedy

Also if you ever wanna come back to Saki, ‘The Hounds of Fate’ is one that always gives me a sense of the weird so would strongly recommend it for consideration!

Listening to a Saki episode of Manimal breaks out in The She Wolf. Can't escape

Just found this month great. I’d never heard one of the Saki stories before (Soul of Laploshka) and it’s been really fun to hear you guys encounter him. I think you should make it a rule for short story writers to do one “It’s not weird but it’s just so good” story each month. For Saki that would have to include Mrs Packletide’s Tiger. Can’t wait for Turn of the Screw. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to hearing you cover Turn of the Screw! I've never liked Henry James, but if anyone can change my opinion on TotS, it's you guys. Speaking of Christmas themed weird stories, I read The Nutcracker for the first time this year, and I hope you cover it some day because it is *bonkers*

Glad to find someone else who shares my opinion on this. Everywhere I look on the internet all I see are people praising this book and I just don’t get it. I personally find the writing style very hard to read and often had to reread several passages. Sometimes, I’d get to the end of page and realize I hadn’t understood a thing that happened. I am trying to struggle through it again for the podcast and, as you said, I hope Chris and Chad can help change my mind on this story, as they did with The Open Window.

So. I haven't thought of that ladies' figure salon in the 1970's with the huge vibrating strap exercise machine that I used to use - in AGES! Thanks for the trigger, Chad! I gotta say, we ladies felt pretty darn sexy with that thing magically jiggling our butts and bellies away. Life was so much easier then.
