I am delighted to open the second season of my podcast with this cautionary tale from the compendium "The Private Life of Elder Things" "Devo Nodenti" tells of Peggy Connings, who made a decision over half a lifetime ago which had unforeseen and terrible consequences. My heartfelt thanks go out to the author herself, who has very kindly given me permission to read her wonderful story for you. As well as being an accomplished novelist under both her own name and others, Keris is an associate editor with Chaosium and over the last year has been developing the new edition of 'Cthulhu by Gaslight.' You can find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/kerismcd I'd also like to thank Graham Walmsley for the marvellous opening and closing themes he has composed for the podcast. Graham is the creator of the role playing game 'Cthulhu Dark' and you can find him on Twitter @grahamwalmsley
