Cold Reading by Max D. Stanton

Cold Reading Charlie Willett, my old partner slash mentor when I was on the carnival circuit, used to say that a man who can do cold readings will never starve. I didn’t realize how right he was until after the Donohue séance, but the Donohue séance convinced me to give up cold readings forever. Starvation’s not the worst thing that can happen to a person. Narration and music by the librarian, Bridgette Brenmark —- Max D. Stanton is a bookish, morbid Dungeons & Dragons nerd who lives in Philadelphia with his common-law wife, their hound, and an ever-growing collection of cats. An unexpected meeting with the Devil inspired Max to take up writing. His first short story collection, A Season of Loathsome Miracles, is available from Trepidatio Publishing. ——— Welcome to THE WEIRD LIBRARY, a horror anthology podcast featuring modern voices in weird fiction.
