In this episode, author Rudy Stankowitz reads from his chilling psychological thriller Blades of Glass, available now on Amazon. Chapter 1 introduces us to trauma nurse Willow Sullivan on a routine ER shift, where she encounters the unforgettable "Count Timmycula"—a four-year-old vampire-in-training with a clove of garlic lodged in his ear. But the lighthearted moment fades as an eerie sense of foreboding settles over her.

Elsewhere, in a late-night diner, a shadowy figure lurks—silent, observant, and unnervingly focused. As drunken college students revel in their football victory, a seemingly harmless conversation between a waitress and the mysterious man takes a dark turn when she mentions a gruesome discovery along the highway. The air thickens with tension, and a sense of imminent danger builds.

Meanwhile, at a remote rest stop, law enforcement officers piece together the scene of a brutal crime. Two victims lie in the wet grass, their throats ripped apart in a way that defies explanation. Is it a savage animal attack—or something far more sinister?

Join Rudy Stankowitz as he brings Blades of Glass to life in this haunting chapter, setting the stage for a dark and gripping thriller where every shadow hides a secret, and no one is safe.
