Darkmyre: Explorations in Terror

S1E16: The Branding Iron


Listen Later

Something is wrong in Red Hollow. Cattle are turning up torn apart, their bodies hollowed out, and the townsfolk whisper about the furrows in the earth that seem to breathe at night. When drifter Colt Harlan rides into town, he discovers the truth isn’t rustlers, wolves, or superstition—it’s something far older and hungrier. Scarred and smoking under moonlight, it rises from beneath the soil to feed. Colt and the weary sheriff must face it with fire, iron, and grit, in a desperate fight for survival on the edge of the desert.

This brutal horror western blends frontier grit with cosmic terror, delivering a tale of blood, fire, and the kind of nightmare that doesn’t stay buried for long.

If you enjoy horror podcasts, creature features, or weird western tales, The Branding Iron will keep you on edge until the very last sound fades.
