welcome back to creepcast today we are diving out of the internet and we're diving into literature i should say not that we don't read literature on this show we we do there's classics there's beautiful pieces of art but today we are actually going into i believe our very first non-creepypasta published book that we actually got approval to read and i'm super stoked
we're moving up in the world. We're having like actual people in the real world be like, Hey, you could read this if you want. Yeah. Next thing you know, next thing you know, buddy, we're going to be the one taking advantage of young writers. I'm going to be, I'm going to be the one. Yeah.
I'm going to be the one to go up to people and be like, don't you want your book to be read on this show? Every story you've ever written $200. How's that sound? I need, I'm going to read your entire works for $7. Thank you. But the PR, the publicity, the exposure. The exposure, my friend. The exposure. Think of the exposure. They're going to be rich. Thomas Ligoti, I have been recommended his stories by so many different people. That's why I'm really excited. I have buddies who are storyboard artists. I have people who are writers. I have people who are musicians. I've had so many people... Recommend Thomas Ligoti. And today we're going to be starting off with one of his very prominent short story, horror short story writer.
We're starting off the Red Tower, but we're also doing a collection where we're going to be reading from his collection of short stories from the songs of the dead songs of a dead dreamer and grim scribe. which is a Penguin Publishing book of stories. So it's going to be a nice day of cozy short stories and getting to read some very, some classics, dare I say. Also, we got new merch! Look at this.
What merchandise is featured and how can listeners support the show?
I'm wearing the new Eat Me Like a Bug shirt, boys. Look at that. Got tiny wines. Got amazing, it's amazing shirt. Look at this. Ooh, clean. It feels amazing. Which one are you wearing, Isaiah?
I'm wearing the My Better Half shirt, which features me as a Jeff Goldblum-esque scientist from the fly, with Hunter being the tumorous gross that comes out of my nipple, just like in real life. That's true. Just creepcast down the sleeves, and it is super comfortable, super high-quality print, and we also have a couple of other items, don't we, Hunter?
We have shorts! Beautiful gym shorts. We've got shorts. It's the spring. It's going to be into the summer where you've got to get your legs out. It's the guns of the legs. That's what they say. Guns of the legs. So you do that, and it pairs beautifully with our crew neck sweater. A Creepcast ghoul sweater. It's a nice little ghost. I have to say, dude, the fits together, diabolical. Unbelievable.
Mm-hmm. They go crazy hard. I will also say that if you have our previous merch drop of our heads hanging, the shrunken heads, you have to buy the shorts because the designs go perfectly together. It looks like you got a whole tracksuit on.
It's beautiful. They're very, very nice. I just want to also say that these shirts are... I don't know. Are they oversized this time? Put a thing up. Are they oversized? There was a lot of weird. We heard your feedback. People are being like, I didn't realize it was so big. All this kind of shit. This is the standard sizing. We're putting up a graphic here. This is the sizing. Do with that what you will. That way you can't complain. Don't complain to me. Don't complain to me when you're like, hey, it's easy. You can complain to Hunter.
You complain to Isaiah this time. I think Hunter. No, no, no. I'm not going to. Well, actually, you can't complain because I don't look at it. I'll never know. It's just me over here. I hide everything. I don't even know if people are watching my videos. I can't.
I don't know. All I know is go to this link right here or click the link in the description of the comments. You probably have some shit there. Click it if you want to get some merch. If not, I don't. You know, it is what it is. All right. Do you have enough? You might have enough shirts. I don't know. If you don't, there's some options. That's all I got to say. Boom. Also.
