Will There Be a Third Season of Tales Told When the Windows Rattle?

Tales Told When the Windows Rattle is a YouTube series/podcast featuring my dramatic readings of stories found in various volumes published by Brom Bones Books. I put each book’s sales pitch at the very end so that it’s easily avoided. Sure, I want to sell books. But I also like to ham it up and to contribute to the revival of the old tradition of telling spooky stories by a cozy fireside during wet or wintry weather.

However, after finishing Season Two, my recording environment was invaded by a mechanical monster called an actuator. It has something to do with the HVAC system in my apartment. All I know is it began to snarl and growl and hiss — and repairs were not coming anytime soon. In addition, I lived on Main Street, so recording already involved pausing for passing fire engines or drivers who find great joy in being heard for blocks around. The combined clamor was simply too much for me to proceed with a third season.

But I recently moved! To a much quieter apartment! On a much quieter street!

I’m still not absolutely sure there will be a third season of Tales Told, but it looks promising. I hope this is welcomed news for those who have enjoyed listening to my readings while watching a slow swing from indoor fires to outdoor storms on the YouTube series. I hope it’s good news for those who preferred the audio-only version on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Naturally, if Season Three does materialize, I’ll let you know.

For now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m still unpacking.
