Story and narration by Disha.

Here's a quick summary of this update:

• I've opened an Instagram account! Here's the link (https://www.instagram.com/emdashstories/)
• I'm turning this into a bilingual podcast—the main narration will be in English, while dialogues will be in Hindi. I'll try to provide subtitles in both languages so that everyone can enjoy the stories. :)
• I'll also be exploring more genres! Horror will remain the focus, but I'll explore other speculative fiction genres like fantasy, magical realism, dystopian, etc.

I'm taking name suggestions for the show! Drop your ideas on Instagram!
