Show Notes

We’d love to tell you all about this story entitled “Northern Lights,” but we have been to told in no uncertain terms to remain Quiet, Please. Suffice to say that you’d never imagine a story about a cigarette lighter, caterpillars, and vowel sounds could be so creepy. Can a lush, elaborate description of aurora borealis contribute to a scary story? How is it that these scientists’ work on a time machine is the mundane party of the story? Is the work of an evil, twisted anti-Douglas Adams? Listen for yourself and find out!
