Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

In Amber Sparks' "The Case of the Girl Who Was Already Dead" a living dead agent should be out hunting the cryptid known as the Bray Road Beast, but then a young girl, the daughter of a dead father and living mother, asks for some help with her ghosts.This story has a very Wisconsin Death Trip feel!
