Anthology of Horror

Text us Two boys wander deep into the American woods and find more than they bargained for. This is a taut, suspenseful piece that builds slowly from ordinary summer mischief into something older and colder; the forest doesn’t shout, it tightens, and the dread arrives by degrees. The writing is precise and economical—moments stack until the world those boys know feels fragile and easily broken—so...

Text us This one’s about mirrors, and yeah — the exact thing that’s always made my asshole pucker up. Expect cold reflections, things that look back when you don’t want them to, and a slow, nasty little itch that won’t quit. No spoilers here — just bring the lights down and don’t trust what you see. New episodes drop every night at midnight through October. Want your name in the raffle? Premium su...

Text us Tonight’s episode, The Twitch Stream , follows a streamer while they’re live on camera when something terrible unfolds in real time. The story compresses modern digital intimacy and public performance into a tight, unnerving sequence: chat scrolls, viewers multiply, the boundary between private disaster and public spectacle collapses, and the feed becomes both witness and jury. It’s a piec...

Text us Episode Summary — You Asked Me for My Name (James Wang King) A taut, disquieting piece that turns a simple question into a slow unravelling of identity and trust. The story presses close, trading spectacle for a persistent anxiety that hangs between words and details, leaving the listener with an image that won’t let go. Credits: Produced by Mickie Eberz .  Narration by Spring Heeled Jack...

Text us Appalachia by H. Dalby lands hard and without apology. This is not a slow-burn mood piece; it’s visceral, jagged, and indebted to the slasher tradition in the way it stages violence as both sudden and inevitable. The tale moves through small-town corridors and backroads where ordinary objects and familiar spaces become instruments of menace. Scenes snap into place with the merciless econom...

Text us Tonight’s episode delivered a tight, unnerving ride: I Was Kidnapped by My Doppelgänger , courtesy of our friend Woundlicker. The piece asks a simple, destabilizing question about identity and agency and then spends its short run time turning that question inside out. The pacing kept the tension taut—no frills, no padding—so the uncanny work its slow, precise erosion on the listener. It’s...

Text us Tonight’s episode centers on With Graveyard Weeds and Wolfsbane Seeds by Seanan McGuire, delivered straight from my throat to your headphones. This installment keeps the pace tight and the tone intimate — less theatrical scare, more the slow, personal kind of unease that settles in your chest and won’t leave until the lights are back on. It’s the sort of story that thrives in a small room...

Text us Tonight’s episode drifts in on a slow, steady wind: The Haunted Trailer , a lean, precise story by Robert Arthur that refuses to do anything flashy. It’s not about rattling chains or sudden shrieks so much as the patient, corrosive way a place can keep score. The trailer in this tale collects the small offenses of living—old arguments, unpaid debts, the way neighbors glance away—and over t...

Text us Tonight’s installment brought us into the cool, aching sorrow of “Funeral Birds” by M. Rickert, a story that feels like a single long, haunted breath. Rickert’s prose moves slow and deliberate, folding small, intimate details into an ever-widening sense of loss until the landscape itself seems to remember grief. The tale follows characters whose lives are quietly eroded by absence and memo...

Text us In tonight’s story, we journey into the untamed wilderness with The Valley of the Beasts , written by Algernon Blackwood . Here, nature is not a backdrop but a living, breathing force—one that watches, waits, and punishes those who dare to tread too far into its shadowed heart. This haunting tale reminds us, as Aldo Leopold once wrote, of “a fierce green fire dying in her eyes”—that strang...

Text us In tonight’s story, we meet Miss Emmeline, a seemingly ordinary old woman whose quiet, predictable life takes a strange turn when she uncovers long-buried powers. As shadows gather and whispers grow louder, Emmeline learns that her twilight years are anything but ordinary. With new strength, she discovers that age is no barrier to the uncanny—and that sometimes the most unexpected people c...

Text us In this episode of Anthology of Horror, we dig deep into the haunted history of Colorado—a land as drenched in blood as it is crowned in beauty. From the sacred landscapes of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, to the atrocities of Sand Creek and the retaliatory wars that followed, the story of Colorado is layered with tragedy and restless spirits. We move through the outlaw boomtowns of Leadv...

Text us In this episode of Anthology of Horror , we plunge into some of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century: the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Told with unflinch...

Text us Produced by: Mickie Eberz In this brutal deep-dive into medieval darkness, we leave the battlefield behind and shine a torch on the murders and massacres that happened off the field. These are the betrayals in cathedrals, assassinations at royal feasts, religious purges, political executions, and grisly “justice” carried out behind closed castle doors. From the shocking murder of Archbisho...
