He drives without thinking and without truly seeing until that routine is nightmarishly interrupted.

In 1948, a northern Indiana farmer encountered something in his lake that terrified him, a turtle so large those who witnessed it later compared it to the size of a small passenger car.  His successor on the farm went so far as to use baited traps, send down divers, and even drain the 7-acre lake in his obsession with proving the monster turtle's existence. Did he find it? Did he prove it was real? To find out, you'll have to listen to Amanda Rachels and Ain't No Such Thing writers, Erica J. Heflin & Kevin LaPorte, as they talk it through and consider all the possibilities.Ain't No Such Thing is produced by Amanda RachelsSupport our Patreon Campaign for access to: More Stories Horror Movie Reviews Video Updates PDF Transcripts of Our Stories Physical Merchandise: Magnets & Autographed Photos Live Skype Sessions with Amanda, Jess and Kevin Join our Facebook group for exclusive insights and art based on our stories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aintnosuchthingAin't No Such Thing © Inverse Press, LLC

Just outside Louisville, Kentucky, there is a train trestle famous for its devious, dangerous denizen, the Goat-Man - The Pope Lick Monster. This scheming critter lures the curious and the daring onto the bridge with its arcane abilities, only to leave them in the path of the oncoming train. Jess, Amanda & Kevin take on The Pope Lick Monster and consider: What he tells people that compels them to wander onto the tracks and to their doom; Why he's such a jerk; Where he ranks compared to other fuzzy cryptids found in the South.

A lone woman and her canine companion makes her way to a lonesome beach for a day of much needed solitude, only to find evidence of some arcane ritual.

A parent's worst nightmare is helplessness in a moment of utter need for their child. When that emergency is life-threatening and happens in the depths of the Florida wilds, a frightened and desperate mother will turn to almost anyone. But to what ends will a stranger go to help?

Even the most skilled snake hunters take great care in the Everglades. Legends of monster gators and snakes and boars bounce around the bars and the message boards like rumors of cheating county commissioners, but every once in a while...every now and then...one of them legends turns out to be true. When a group of long-time herpers (reptile hunters for you rookies) head into the Glades to collect one of those legends after one of them actually sees it alive, what they find is far more monstrous than anything they could have expected.Betty & Veronica is written by Erica J.

Rawley just wants to kiss a girl...just about any girl...so, against his better judgment, he accompanies his cousin - the local stud - to a mudriding party in a local country dirt pit. Confronted with backwoods machismo and beer-soaked behavior, Rawley soon questions his decision...over and over again. That is, until he meets a pretty girl in the back of a pickup truck, and the pair are hauled into the Alabama mud and into a sort of hidden, monstrous terror they never could have anticipated.Mudriders is written by Kevin LaPorte.Ain't No Such Thing is narrated and produced by Amanda RachelsSupport our Patreon Campaign for access to: More Stories Horror Movie Reviews Video Updates PDF Transcripts of Our Stories Physical Merchandise: Magnets & Autographed Photos Live Skype Sessions with Amanda, Jess and Kevin Join our Facebook group for exclusive insights and art based on our stories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aintnosuchthingMudriders © Kevin LaPorteAin't No Such Thing © Inverse Press, LLC

In the 1970's, empty parking lots spawned traveling carnivals, rife with rusted rides, grizzled barkers, and tainted games of skill. It was in one of these rancid attractions that a lonely little girl with a resentful, acid-tongued mother wins the greatest prize of her life, one to come home with her and take away all her hurt...no matter the cost...Kid Gloves is written by Kevin LaPorte.Ain't No Such Thing is narrated and produced by Amanda RachelsRead more stories about these characters in our 120-page graphic novel, Vicious Circus, available at inversepress.com.And, on August 9, 2020, at 6:00 p.m., we launch a Kickstarter campaign celebrating the 10th anniversary of our comics publishing arm, Inverse Press.

Ain't No Such Thing takes on the guise of Florida Man and dips WAY down into the Peninsula to look into reports of The Great Cypress Forest's own Bigfoot, the Skunk Ape (a.k.a. Swamp Cabbage Man, a.k.a. Stink Ape, a.k.a. Myakka Ape). We dig deep into reported encounters, the surprisingly broad cultural influence, and speculate what's behind this enduring and widespread cryptid phenomenon that's become a sort of de facto mascot for the Sunshine State.Plus, Kevin and Amanda try out a new system for ranking supernatural legends, based on 1) Believability 2) Threat Level 3) Affection (e.g., how much we love the stories around the legend). Where does the Skunk Ape fall in the ranks of legends we've considered?

In the 1980's, dismal mall goths prowled the corridors of retail riches, primed to show off their deviant looks and worry the normies. But, deep down, they ultimately wanted the same attention we all crave, from parents and teachers and...potential loves.
