CONGRATULATIONS, PENNYDREADFUL!!

Wonderful News!

    

Thank you, Josette!

Congrats, Amanda!

I posted this in the Terror at Collinwood thread, but thought I'd post it here too, for those who may be interested! I chatted with John Logan, creator of Showtime's Penny Dreadful and massive DS fan, on the podcast.

The multiverses have collided - the creator of Showtime's Penny Dreadful chatted with the the horror hostess Penny Dreadful about Dark Shadows, a show that shares many similarities with 19th century penny dreadfuls!
