We're sorry to upcycle again so soon, but we're actually kind of excited because this is one of our favorite things we've recorded.
In it, Larkin outlines her effort to track down the red-eyed, child-eating cryptid she talked about in our False Eyelashes episode. It turns out she may have invented a Now It's Ruined original cryptid, the Dusty Werewolf. But her journey to identify it led her to many fascinating child-stealing cryptids from around the world! Listen to learn about Manananggals, Gytrashes, and more (oh my!).
We'll be back with a brand new episode next time! Plus, there will be a new bonus episode for $5 and up Patrons released before the end of July. Thank you as always for your understanding!
