Welcome, wanderers of the night…
During October, Petra’s Dark and Dreamy invites you to step through shadowed corridors and moonlit graveyards, where the whispers of the uncanny and the echoes of the forgotten stir. Join us as we count down to All Hallows’ Eve with tales that chill, enchant, and linger long after the candle flickers out. Tonight, the darkness calls — will you answer?
"The Monkey's Paw" is a short story by W.W. Jacobs that explores themes of fate, consequence, and the dangers of tampering with the natural order.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
