Episode 3 - The Yellow Wallpaper

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 42:17

In this episode of The Short Scare, Lucinda reflects on the unsettling events surrounding the old D’Readd estate. Strange phone calls, a forgotten room locked away for decades, and a sense that something—or someone—is watching. As Lucius narrates Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s haunting tale The Yellow Wallpaper, the creeping madness in the story begins to mirror the eerie happenings in their own home. What lies beyond the locked door, and are some secrets better left undiscovered? Tune in to find out… if you dare.

If you find our tales suitably chilling and wish to support our ongoing descent into darkness, you’re most welcome to do so. It’s entirely voluntary, of course—no pressure, just a gentle nudge from the shadows.

Also, please leave a review wherever you get your podcasts. Balthazar might finally stop plotting my demise, and Lucius...well, he might just find the courage to read the next tale.

And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes mischief, creepy curiosities, and perhaps a few glimpses of Balthazar in action.

Until then, keep the lights low, and the shadows close.

Episode 2 - The Tell-Tale Heart

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 19:00

In this episode of The Short Scare, we explore the twisted world of Edgar Allan Poe with The Tell-Tale Heart. Join your host, Lucinda, and her hapless husband, Lucius, as they explore a tale of madness, guilt, and a heartbeat that refuses to be silenced. It’s a story that reminds us all—no secret can stay buried forever, especially when it beats within your own chest.

As you listen, be wary if you catch sight of a shadow that moves without sound. Balthazar has taken a particular interest in tonight’s tale. They say cats can see what we cannot—perhaps he hears something more in that relentless heartbeat, something that escapes our human ears. In Balthazar’s case, he’s likely just judging us.

Thursday, August 15, 2024 • Duration 19:05

In the debut episode of The Short Scare, Lucinda D'readd and her husband, Lucius, unravel the chilling tale of Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft. As a mariner recounts his harrowing encounter with an ancient, monstrous being from the depths of the sea, the boundaries of reality and madness blur. This unsettling story explores the fragility of the human mind when faced with the unknown and the horrors that lurk just beyond our understanding. Prepare yourself for a journey into the abyss, where some discoveries are better left buried beneath the waves.
