This week on The Short Horror Beer Cast, we’re cracking open “Free Dirt” by Charles Beaumont and pairing it with two beers that go down smoother than a buttered gerbil.
This is Part 1 of a two-parter! Sort of. We’ll explain when you get here.
Till then, you can expect our usual mix of literary over-analysis, pop culture nerdery, and tangents about [insert Gen-X grievance].
Spoilers ahead, so read the story first if you're precious like that.
