Creature Feature of the Month - The Tell-Tale Heart

This month, we're delving into the chilling world of Edgar Allan Poe with an offering from Tom Rory Parsons. Poe’s "The Tell-Tale Heart" has been a staple of horror literature since its publication in 1843 and for good reason. Published in 1843 “The Tell-Tale Heart”, explores the chilling emotional fusion of guilt, paranoia, and the human psyche. 

The Tell-Tale Heart Keeps on Beating

"The Tell-Tale Heart" has had a significant cultural impact, particularly in the horror genre. Poe's story is often credited with paving the way for psychological horror, and it has inspired countless adaptations in film, television, and literature. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Poe's writing skill and ability to tap into universal fears and anxieties.

Meet Tom

Today’s audio interpretation of “The Tell-Tale Heart” was created by 11th Hour Audio Challenge contributor Tom Rory Parsons. Tom is also the creative mind behind:

Before we get to the show we wanted all of our listeners to know that 11th Hour Audio is producing the pilot episode for a new series called Brimstone Gap. Written by Philip Craig Robotham, Brimstone Gap is a dark tale set in the Old West.

In the American West of the 1880s, there is one stop along the Transcontinental railroad that is rarely visited. Those who step off the train are almost never seen again, and its reputation is dark and crowded with supernatural secrets. The town is a psychic whirlpool drawing dark and broken souls alike into its grip.

April is the month of resurrections. The Queen of the Underworld has emerged bringing an end to the bitterly barren winter. Cybele’s consort Attis becomes a symbol of fertility after castrating himself under a pine tree, and a martyred carpenter rises from his tomb promising eternal life. Springtime myths and stories are imbued with the concept of resurrection. But here in Horror Land the ultimate symbol of resurrection is the zombie. Few other creatures lurking in our nightmares carry the idea of life, death, rebirth, and fertility quite as well as the modern zombie.

With that in mind we’ve unearthed a story from Ali Hylton called Human Error. Human Error takes a deep look at the zombie apocalypse and asks the question “What does it mean to be a monster?”

Human Error is an immersive audio drama about survival, found family, and finding hope within ourselves during dark and dangerous times when the world we know ends, and a new one is born.

Human Error comes to us from some of the creators who produced City of Statues for the 11th Hour Audio Challenge 2022.

February brings us Valentine’s Day, a holiday associated with love. The feast of St. Valentine was founded by Pope Gelasius I in 496 in honor of the martyred priest who performed weddings for Christian couples. On February 14th, the day of his execution, legends say that he wrote a note to a judge’s daughter whose blindness he had cured signed “from your Valentine“. Today relics of Saint Valentine draw pilgrims seeking true love. This month, in celebration of celestial affection, we bring you Jesus Gets Rejected. A short drama that reminds us that the heart wants what it wants, no matter the reason.

Vanessa (Christianne Greiert) is tempted by Satan (Mike Racioppa) and won’t accept Jesus (Cayenne Chris Conroy) into her heart.

May contain objectionable material.
