## Resource

This week on Derry Public Radio, join CM, Josh, and Eve as they grapple with the unsettling short story "Cain Rose Up" from Stephen King's “Skeleton Crew”. Set against the backdrop of a college dormitory, the hosts dissect the chilling moments leading up to a tragic act of violence, exploring themes of emptiness, societal pressure, and the randomness of horror. With a mix of humor and critical analysis, they delve into the character of Curt Garrish, his internal struggles, and the stark contrast between his violent thoughts and the mundane college life surrounding him.
