IN THIS EPISODE: it’s Thriller Thursday, and this week I’m bringing you a story requested by one of my Darkness Syndicate members – it’s Stephen King’s short story, “Suffer The Little Children”. The story was first published in 1972 in Cavalier magazine. Later it was published in the anthology “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” which is where I’m reading it from tonight. While I know I always play a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode, I feel this one warrants a second one, as it is extremely violent and touches on things that could easily trigger some people. I don’t want to be specific, as it will ruin the story, but if you are easily squeamish or easily offended, this is not the story for you. Please do not email or message me after listening to this to complain about the content – you have been warned.
