Sneak Peek: Episode 26 Goes Live Friday, September 10th!

Latest Exquisite Corpse Adventure Episode Written by M. T. Anderson!

Last Adventure Before the Grand Finale!!

In our last episode of The Exquisite Corpse Adventure 25 by Jack Gantos, Nancy and Joe wanted to open the blue door, step through, and search for their parents. Genius Kelly, the pig, stopped them when he recognized the yucky whitish, yellowish goop oozing out of the mail slot as advance scouts for an Eggy-Thingy Invasion Force. The group sealed up the door with coffins and wood glue. Nancy and Joe realized that with the front door now permanently shut, they would need a back door. And that door was last seen at Pirandello's.

In Episode 26 by M. T. Anderson, do Nancy and Joe find the door? What does Joe pull out of his pocket? Who's behind the door? Why are they afraid?
