WEBVTT - EXHUMED is coming...

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks erin here. When I think about the listeners

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>who love my deep dive shows, unobscured and grim and

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>mild presents, I think of people who really love to

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.239
<v Speaker 1>take their time, people who love the little details and

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>digging just a little farther into the soil to find

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the bigger story. For years, you let me do that

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>on this show, taking you on a multi episode journey

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>on a big, major topic. From the Salem witch Trials

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and the fascinating world of sideshow performers to Jack the

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Ripper and pirate lore. You have been supportive, encouraging, and

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>dare I say, hungry for more good historical knowledge. So

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you say we do it again? I've put

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>together a massive exploration of a topic that I dearly,

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>dearly love, one that goes all the way back to

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of lore and then ties in a ton

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of ideas and stories that I've learned along the way.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>It's about Mercy Brown, the young woman at the center

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of the New England vampire panic, and how her community

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>got to the point where they felt it was okay

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to exume her corpse, cut out her heart, and use

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>its ashes as medicine for her dying brother. You know,

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.839
<v Speaker 1>normal stuff, right. The result is a brand new book

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>called Exhumed, and the best way to think of it

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>is this. Where Unobscured or Grim and Mild Presents typically

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>spent about ten episodes on a single topic, Exhumed is

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>twice that length. In hardcover and ebook, that's twenty whole chapters.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But in the audiobook version narrated by me, of course,

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you can think of it as twenty episodes. Now. Granted,

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it is not a podcast, but it is the beginning

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of a new adventure for us, all because you'll be

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>able to buy it once ad free and soak it

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>in at your own pace. Plus being in bookstores around

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the country, it means we've got a chance to grow

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>our community of fans of weird history, and that's never

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing. Exzoomed officially arrives on August fourth, but

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you can pre order it right now. To make that

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>process easy, I set up a web page which I

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>will link to in the description for this ep episode.

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>It's Aaronmankey dot com slash Exhumed, and it will have

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>two special links along with the gorgeous cover art. One

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 1>link will help you find a store to pre order

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>your copy in whatever format you want, and if you

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>buy the hardcover, the second link is where you can

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>submit your receipts and get a free Exhumed tote bag.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>There will, of course be a book tour, and while

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't travel to every place on my wish list,

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I do hope to see many of you on the

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.959
