Episode Conclusion

And that’s it. The sun has come up, and it has banished the foul creatures. For now, at least. I’ve made the offer before and I’ll make it again. I have narrated three vampire books for Audible. I still have a few free copies I can give away. If you’re interested, swing by my narration website, TheVoicesInMyHead.com and request one of them. I recommend Ancient Blood, if you’re a fan of Anne Rice novels.

We’ll be back again next week with more horror-themed trivia as we work our way through October. Here’s your clue for next week’s show:

What horror writer was born in Providence, RI in 1890?

We’re going old school for our trivia next week. I suggest you get your lanterns ready.

This has been episode 142 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. The music has been by Jason Shaw at Audionautix.com. I’m your host, Brian Rollins.
