BONE AND SICKLE explores historical topics related to folklore and horror. With acerbic wit and a scholarly penchant for the grotesque, rogue folklorist Al Ridenour delves into a wide but carefully curated range of topics illustrated by stories from historical texts. Narratives are given dramatic readings by 'Mrs. Karswell' (Sarah Chavez) backed by richly produced soundscapes blending original music, sound design and effects. The source books, though real enough, are said to be pulled from an imaginary library on Ridenour's imaginary estate situated somewhere in the neighborhood of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey. Each episode begins with our hosts briefly discussing goings-on in this world before diving into the topic to be explored. Occasional alternate-format episodes are devoted to readings of classic horror stories or curious texts of antiquarian interest. Ridenour is the author of 'The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas' (2016) and 'A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival' (Jan. 2025). Sarah Chavez produced the podcast 'The Cabinet of Curiosities' (2011-2012) and contributed to 'Death in the Afternoon' (2018-2023). more
