One Last Date at the Pitside by Sebastien Mantle

H.P. Lovecraft month concludes. There will be pie.  Wulf Moon narrates.
Author Sebastien Mantle is a Canadian-born fantasy and sci-fi fanatic with a penchant for the dark, twisted, and occasionally silly. When not working on a novel or churning out short stories, he reads anything from swords and sorcery to military history.
Narrator Wulf Moon feasted on fantasy as a child when he lived with his Chippewa grandmother. He begged stories from her every night—fireside tales that fired his imagination. If Moon had a time machine, those are the days he would go back to. Since he doesn’t have a time machine, he tells stories. Learn more at driftweave.com.
