The Color and the Shape – Details, episodes & analysis

You know a thing by its color and its shape. Your house. Your town. The people you pass every day on your way to work or school. Things as familiar to you as your own face in the mirror. You have never had a reason to look closer. Why would you?

But there is something behind the mirror. Something that was there a second ago, in the corner of your eye. It's gone now. You think.

The world still looks the way it always has. The lights come on. The trains run. Everyone keeps smiling. But somewhere underneath, the rules have shifted, or they were never what you believed in the first place. And you'll find out the way everyone does, one careful, reasonable decision at a time.

Each episode of The Color and the Shape is a single story, told through the eyes of someone who was there. And might still be there. Speculative fiction, sci-fi horror, folk horror, and cosmic dread, for listeners who keep the lights low and let their eyes adjust. Look long enough and you might catch what's waiting in the shadows.

The shape of things to come has already taken form.
