Along with her own financial chaos, Amy Sharp had a 14 year old son hellbent on trying every street drug he could find. In an attempt to save her sanity, she started writing a story about the inner world of a woman like herself, living on the BC coast while her reality rippled and rolled._______ A year later, she had a professionally edited 93,000 word manuscript. After more twists and turns, she got a grant from Canada Media Fund to create the first episode in video.______ Alexine's sex pos ...

Jennie is on holiday this week, so we're pulling from a former-Patreon-exclusive episode from April 2023: The Ghoul Files, based in the fictional metaphysical world where the clubhouse and all of its various ghouls are real. This is our first case. We hope you enjoy it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

It's the return of the world's worst detectives. The Ghoul Detectives. Dr. Kyle Collins and Dr. Jennifer Bartle are bringing their collective Ph.Ds and Psy.Ds in Paranormal Problems and True Crime to another murder. Lady Matilda Heatherington is dead. The autopsy is inconclusive and doesn't rule out foul play. But who done it? Let's find out togeth…

He's Stephan, a time travelling good Nazi! She's Laura, a woman he will not leave alone! It's Dean Koontz's Lightning, the first of our summer road trip books! To explain the amazing graphic my husband ran up for this - I am almost certain this is Koontz's own Terminator fanfic, predicting Badass T2 Sarah Connor years before that movie came out. If…

"They're heeeere!" And by 'they', we mean us. We're here. We're back where we belong. It's such a joy to be back in the clubhouse! And in the spirit of reviving our show, we're making this episode all about rising from the dead. We can come, and come, and come again… but that's something else entirely. Hosted on Acast.

He's a bear. Like an actual bear. She's having a midlife crisis. This seems like a pretty extreme response. This is Bear by Marian Engel, which won the Governor General's Award in 1976 and is evidently the most controversial Canadian novel of all time. Sounds like a skills issue to me. You know that joke about how you can build a bridge with your b…

We're leaving The Ghoul Club for our own protection. A certain A-List celebrity has hired a team of assassins to kill us, so we need to make ourselves scarce. That means we're leaving the clubhouse in the hands of the ghosts, monsters, and demons while we go and explore our juicy parts for a while. We've got a chilling story about infant abduction …

This is our first intentional entry in a little project we're doing - friend of the podcast Steve Ammidown posted this fascinating spread with a list of all the books Melinda Helfer, a Romantic Times editor, awarded five hearts in a review. Sixteen books out of ten thousand! Well, it turns out we'd already done two of them - Lightning that Lingers …

Has anyone ever noticed that Arnold Schwarzenegger smells like schnitzel and ale? Well, we couldn't avoid it when he came knocking at The Ghoul Club's door this week. That being said… he might've been The Terminator. We can't be sure. We ran away and conceived a baby that is humanity's only hope for survival against the machine uprising instead. To…

Life. It's hard work sometimes, isn't it? And, according to Jennie, 'work' is doing anything you don't want to do, which - to be fair - is pretty accurate. In fact, H̶͍͗r̶̦̈́a̵̡͗t̴̥͝h̵̢̜̔á̸͈̰l̶̳͂ͅā̶͎̝ has been putting us through our paces lately and it's felt a lot like work. But the campfire never feels like work; just a fun space to share spooky…

Shhh. We're in a quiet (and disgusting) place, trying to hold in our diarrhoea while monsters with super-hearing try and hunt us. Spoiler alert: We don't make it out alive. This week's stories are both tinged with something dark, demonic, and supernatural. We start with the life of Contessa Emanuel Adams, a woman who fell in love with a devil, beca…

Dr. Livvy Gregson was afraid of a mummy's curse. Just two weeks after returning from Egypt with the sarcophagus, she ended up inside it herself… dead. Was she the victim of a paranormal curse? Or was it something more sinister? Join us as we do the police's job for them. Welcome to the first (and possibly last) episode of Ghoul Detectives. We're cr…

We're visiting Silent Hill 2gether this week (if you don't get that terrible pun, we're disowning you). Jennie might have been dead for years, but somehow she has returned. And it's a mystery we need to solv— actually, never mind. That guy with the pyramid head is actually kind of hot. In this week's stories, we're talking houses. The case of a hou…

After a short (emergency) break, we're back! Kicking things off with an episode of Campfire Ghouls. Roasting marshmallows around the fire, sticking them in places that marshmallows are decidedly not supposed to go. It's all fun and games until someone's rectum gets scolded by molten sugar. We've got some great stories for you this week—the first is…

He's Pierce, a hot guy with a secret (and it's not that he's part of the military industrial complex, he's proud of that part!) She's Alicia, a widowed mother of two who works in a romance novel boutique!

What happens when an exorcism turns into a sexorcism? Well, we think it's pretty simple. Things get steamy, sweaty, and a lost somewhere between science and superstition. Today's stories take us to some dark places. We begin with a family tragedy that isn't all it appears to be; and we end things with a story about arctic Alaska that goes well belo…

Don't ask Jennie what her job is, she doesn't want to talk about it. If you get her talking and ask her questions about it, she might just implode and die. But not before she has the honour of serving Her Majesty The Queen's corpse as a civil servant. Today's stories take us to the supermarket (yes, you read that right) where one woman's favourite …

One of us is The Thing. And there's only one way to find out which one of us it us. But, if that fails, what do we do? Call it a day and go home? Or start scorching each other's privates? Today's episode starts with a story of spousal murder that isn't at all as simple as it seems, and ends with a story about stalking and dark obsession. We're crav…

Creepy crawlies, curly wurlies, and an insectoid vagina. We've got it all in our intro inspired by Resident Evil 7's Dulvey Haunted House and the romance of Jack and Marguerite Baker. (P.S. We are the actors in the intro, we've just altered our voices using AI for comedy purposes) Today's stories have got everything you could wish for: Murder, cons…

Campfire Ghouls returns for our first episode of 2024! We've missed our Ghoul Clubbers and it's so good to be back. We've got two great stories for you this week: A group of friends gets lost in the woods, but not all is as it seems. And, in our second story, there's something seriously wrong with Dad. We're looking forward to having you with us! I…

Alexine tells us more than we want to know about her should pain relief and having a 'moment' on a massage table. Her love for dog breasts, yes, dog breasts. And we hear about the first time she took her 14 year old son Harvey to the hospital after a reaction to his latest drug of choice. SFX from Artlist, Zapsplat, and Freesound.org; Specifically:…

Alexine introduces us to a couple of cleans in luxury homes; one is stark and cold, the other is cluttered and cozy. She compares her pained body to the ladies of these grand properties. She finds friendship with Cairo, the family dog, even if her shoulders pay the price. SFX from Artlist, Zapsplat, and Freesound.org; Specifically: zaku18, matrixxx…

Alexine reflects on what exactly ruined the perfect bulge, that whole soul mate idea and yet another level of self care. The likelihood of a 'lipless wonder'... is that even possible?!? Oh and ball trimmers... I used a few seconds of Capricho Arabe by Nylon Bliss and added the entire song at the end of the episode because it's incredible and you wi…

A goat farm. An atheist farmer. A pious nun. Do these sound like the perfect elements for an arthouse horror film? Because that's what we're going for. And, honestly, we feel like we've hit the nail on the head with this one. But it's also the last Ghoul Club episode of 2023, so we've chosen some wild stories to close out the year! First, a grievin…

Daphne Slits becomes winter caretaker at the isolated Underblind Hotel in Scotland, hoping to cure her relationship. She settles in along with her boyfriend, Eric, and the hotel's other residents.

Ring ring. It's Billy. Just here to wish you a Merry (Black) Christmas. Today's episode harkens back to our themed episodes as we both focus on the festive season. We start out with the legend of Frau Perchta, the Christmas Witch. Hot and horny? No. Cruel and sadistic? Yes. We then move on to the heartwarming story of a family on a winter wonderlan…

Jennie will not decisively say what's happening with the weather until she's certain that it's the general opinion of her peers. Wait, what is this podcast about? Oh, right, parroty tongues and bad kisses. And scary stories. Our first doesn't have a title so we've decided to call it 'Spooks and the City', a terrifying experience in a very swanky ap…

Final report of the commercial starship Ghoul Club, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kyle, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Jennie Bartle, last survivor of The Ghoul Cl…

We were temporarily spat out by Ḧ̷́͜r̶̆͜a̸̙ţ̴̀h̶͊ͅa̸̡̕ľ̸͜a̷̤͝ (the cosmic eldritch horror who has been hurling us across the multiverse), but it looks like we'll be back on that journey soon. In the meantime, we've got some stories to regale you with. Starting with a failed carjacking that turns suspiciously murdery, and ending with a 1600s whodu…

Dry winter weather, Christmas specials, the nun, the back rooms, and bidets on your butthole. We're discussing it all in this week's campfire episode. We also tell a story that, at first glance, seems like it might be a sapphic lezzy romance but turns out to be something much more sinister. And in our second story, a grinning woman really deserves …

He's Tagg, a Christmas-obsessed single dad! She's Leslie, a woman immobilized by a broken leg who cannot escape the holiday despite driving several states away and telling everybody she would prefer not to! He would probably be okay except that he's always "smirking" or "mocking" or whatevering his dialogue at her! For some reason his hair is very …

Kyle's been in a car accident (not for real), but don't worry! Jennie has taken him in and she is devoted to restoring him to full health. If only she didn't hate his newest novel so much... Just what lengths will she go to in order to convince him to share the original manuscript? We've got a great pair of stories for you this week; one about the …

In 1990, British entomologist James Atherton captured two members of an aggressive, newly-discovered species of spider with lethally venomous fangs. Did he try to have sex with them? We don't know. But what we do know is what happened after this deadly species of arachnid made its way to Canaima, California and mated with a common house spider. Dea…

We're jealous of Dracula's victims since we learned that he likes to shove things up the pussy. We're also a bit concerned about Skynet nuking humanity and taking over the planet. But of course, we're here to tell some spooky stories! And boy, oh boy, have we got some doozies. We start with a ghost (or a chocolate coma) trying to get someone in tro…

She sees dead people. And maybe a spectral phallus or two. But what else would you expect from someone who gets so turned on by anal probes? That's why we're sating her lusty appetite by starting this week's episode with a dark mysterious story about potential alien abduction. Or government experiments, perhaps? Then we move on to a story about a m…

Jennifer can finally see! But, after hearing what she's seeing, we're not sure she should have these eyeballs after all. Far from being scary, it seems like she's just having a bizarre surreal fever dream. We're starting off with a case that sounds all-too-familiar. An incel obsession that turns very dark very quickly. Then we're moving on to some …
