Episode Details

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something… grue?

Welcome to a different kind of marriage, a morbid union of strange stories with evocative narratives—where bizarre is beautiful, death is an old friend, and twisted creatures skulk in the shadows. An engagement over a year in the making, Jack of all Trades is a collection of dark fiction with a more literary bent, a celebration of the eerie and eloquent tales of yesteryear. A wedding of words.

From Victorian England to the Wild West frontier; from familial strife to a nationwide threat; from the innocence of youth to the cynicism of experience—the seven stories contained herein span concepts, continents, and centuries.
