| The Pulse Between | 10 Jul 2026 | 00:35:50 | |
📍CANADA. ✍️ Today’s Tale… written by Evelyn Hart, who writes from the spaces between ordinary moments. Her stories are less interested in monsters than in the patient conversations we have with the things we believe are merely observing us. She believes the most unsettling horrors are never sudden. They emerge one unnoticed moment at a time. The companion was designed to learn his habits. It was never meant to develop its own. When meaningless gestures begin appearing in the quiet of his apartment, curiosity slowly replaces caution. Before long, the only thing more unsettling than what the machine is doing... is how eagerly he begins answering it.

| Zea Mindwerl’s ”Fear” | 14 Dec 2025 | 00:14:15 | |
Author Zea Mindwerl shares this story she wrote for a prompt at Blog.Reedsy.com. It's a dark tale about the unknown things out in the dark of night. And hammers home the idea that there's no place like the safety of home in a tale she calls FEAR.
The story was originally posted in 2023 but has since gone missing from my podcast... I have no idea why. But in the time that's past from when I originally posted this and now I've learned so much about audio recording and mastering. So I've applied that to the original performance and updated the effects with new ones from my subscription with Epidemic Sounds. | |||

| The Evil Stepmother & A Retrieved Memory | 03 Oct 2025 | 00:39:10 | |
Today’s first story… is written by Eleazar Nolan. This is a tale that has been passed down through Eleazar’s family. I’m told that Eleazar has been hunting for where this story may have originated. It’s subtly similar to an old brother’s Grim tale ‘The Juniper Tree’. This version feels like a natural American folk mutation of that old European root: it shifts the bones of the story into Illinois soil, adds religious framing, and swaps the bird transformation for a chilling chant. Honestly, that’s folklore doing what it does best — adapting to place, faith, and fear. But unique enough to be something new. Wherever it did come from here it is now Written by Eleazar Nolan and told by Wilhelm… The Evil Stepmother. Then Argentinean author David Clark takes us on a journey for A Retrieved Memory. | |||

| The Land Lady | 25 Jul 2025 | 00:32:10 | |
Once a season I like to dive into the history of Horror and revisit one of the great works that helped to shape the genre. Today’s story is written by none other than Roald Dahl. Despite being renowned for children’s literature. Roald Dahl was a huge fan of Horror, and especially enjoyed a good ghost story. In fact he has a collection of horror stories available at your local book store called “Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories. He read more 700 spooky tales and collected the best 14 of them into this book. Our tale today was first published in 1959, the 28th day of November in a print piece called ‘the New Yorker’. Sit back and now and enjoy Roald Dahls dark tale… The Land Lady.
