A dark October country road, a driver, a hitchhiker... and a strange, strange story told across cold, lonely miles.

All stories on the Knifepoint Horror podcast are written by Soren Narnia, who can also be heard narrating or acting on the podcasts 'The Ghosts on This Road', 'Sibling Horror', 'SessionsX,' 'Let's Not Meet,' 'Campfire Radio Theater,' 'Tag Till We're Dead,' and others.

Patreon: www.patreon.com/sorennarnia   Patreon supporters listen ad-free and have access to many unreleased offerings, including Soren's own narrations of several earlier podcast stories originally voiced by others; 'traces,' an audio story that creepily revisits the sites of Knifepoint Horror tales many listeners know very well; the 'Unchallenging Campfire Tales' collection for those who like their horror goofy sometimes; a (massive) PDF of the show's transcripts; other original short audio stories and narrations of some classic ones; and most recently, Soren's recitation of eleven dark and disturbing poems by great writers.
