Kristen Simmons / Johnny Compton

It's the last week of the season and we're getting into the big Fs: feelings, fear, friendship, family. Fun! ITINERARY: Kristen Simmons (Find Him Where You Left Him Dead) discusses the difference between Eastern and Western ghosts, why teenagers deserve real fiction, and inventing a terrifying game for her characters to play. Johnny Compton (The Spite House) talks about his favorite thing in fiction, about the real-life inspirations for his spite house, and about why it isn't actually so easy to just leave a haunted house. Drew ends the season with a bit of art: a Robert Frost poem, for these dark times. For a full episode transcript, click here.
