Possum & Biscuit

Stories about two broke boys, one haunted truck, and every rich person in Louisiana. As told by Vernon “Possum” Tatum.

Season One

Yo dawg, heard of Whistle, Louisiana? A town so small the welcome sign and the “Come Back Soon” sign share a post. These are the things that happened to me and my buddy Biscuit anyway. Each story's a single sitting — about the length of a drive to Baton Rouge. If Charlene starts, that is.

When a new ride's ready, the letter folks get it before anyplace else does — Episodes Two through Five only ever come out this way.

One letter per story. No spam — promised on Mamaw Pearl's pie crust.

A word about Vernon
