Welcome to Realm's newest feed, Strange Matter. Max Gladstone presents a collection of thrilling stories of magic and mystery rooted in the strangeness of our own world. Come back every week for a new spell-binding episode.

First on Strange Matter, we have The Witch Who Came in From the Cold. The Cold War rages in the back rooms and dark alleys of 1970s Prague—and on one misty night an American discovers that the city and its spies have become the new front of another, more ancient war—a war of magic. Now a CIA agent and a KGB operative must forge an uneasy alliance in order to stop a secret occult society from destroying the world. When spies and sorcerers cross murky lines to do battle for home and country—who do you trust?

The Witch Who Came in From the Cold is written by Lindsay Smith, Cassandra Rose Clarke, Ian Tregillis, Michael Swanwick, Fran Wilde, and Max Glastone. Performed by Christine Lakin and John Glouchevich. Directed by Dennis Kao.
