In this episode of the Westside Fairytales podcast’s Horror and Lit Club, Tyler rambles at length about home repairs, "Castlevania," the new pride flag, and he delivers a roughly two-hour-long script revision of the new "Conjuring" movie from James Wan, "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It."

I say that "The Conjuring" is a Blumhouse feature a bunch of times during this, which is incorrect, but it's so like a Blumhouse movie I decided to forgive myself.

The script doctor is the last two hours or so of the episode, so skip ahead if you just want to hear that.

In chapter 14 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, Ash realizes she’s stuck in this iteration of the house once she fails to find the garret she’s been looking for. Gone too is the typewriter, though she can still hear it faintly throughout the house.

She adapts to her new job as a maid while trying to figure out a way home, the meaning behind that other her's urging to “Find the Medusa. Find the Artist.” It’s painfully clear, however, that the Doctor’s own tenuous grip on sanity is rapidly slipping, and she might run out of time before she can find the answers she needs.

In chapter 15 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, the Doctor’s threats, and his condition, make it all too clear that Ash’s time in the Starling household is rapidly coming to a close. Doped on morphine and left to fend for herself, she’s swept up into the arms of a girl with the same name as long ago student Coraline. And bearing the same ethereal glow as her golden ghost.

With the clock set against her, Ash will be forced to delve into the house’s most awful secrets, or risk becoming one of them.

In chapter 16 of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast’s story Scars in Time, Ash’s desperate gambit in the Doctor’s hidden clinic has paid off, returning her home as though from a dream. Faced with the revelations of the clinic, many questions have been answered, but still more remain.

Ash finds that Gun Cotton has taken a turn for the worse while she’s been gone. If she was really gone at all.

In any case, it’s readily apparent that her work isn’t yet done, and this moment of happiness might be little more than a brief reprieve.
