  • The House at the Edge of Know-Wherew
    A young girl waits in a quiet house at the edge of a silent town. She’s been told to stay there—just for a little while. To wait. Her father promised he’d come for her.
    Outside, the woods don’t move. The road doesn’t change. The town breathes like something asleep.
    Then one day… someone knocks.

  • The House at the Edge of Know-Where

    👻 New tale incoming, my ghost-loving ghouls.

    This week’s episode is one I’ve been aching to share with you—and trust me, it lingers.

    INSPIRED BY A TWILIGHT EPISODE - Do you know which one?!

    One of the MOST complicated episodes I've done in a while, and I hope you loooove it!!

    Soooooo many cues XD - any and all feedback welcome on the quality of today's vocals by the way 🤩🤩🤩

    🏚️ What’s it about?

    A young girl waits in a quiet house at the edge of a silent town. She’s been told to stay there—just for a little while. To wait. Her father promised he’d come for her.

    Outside, the woods don’t move. The road doesn’t change. The town breathes like something asleep.

    Then one day… someone knocks.

    If you enjoy stories that are haunting without being gory, that dig into the heart as much as the horror, this one’s for you. It’s a tale about waiting, remembering, and what we’re willing to believe when the truth is too painful to face.

    This isn’t just a ghost story. It’s a quiet descent into memory, loss, and something else—something that waits just beyond the door.

    🎧 So grab your blanket, brew your favorite cup of tea (preferably haunted), and join me in the quiet space between here… and whatever comes next.

    Thank you, as always, for supporting the show and helping me bring these eerie, beautiful tales to life. You keep the light on in all the dark corners.

  • CRIME CLUB CLASSICS 🕵️ 4 Banger Episodes

    🎩🔍 [NEW EPISODE] Crime Club Classics: Four Tales of Murder, Mischief, and Mayhem! 🔍🎩

    🕵️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️ G'day, you shadow-skulking sleuths and mystery-loving detectives!! 🕵️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️

    Your favourite remastered episodes are back with a four-course feast of crime—served up piping hot and dripping with intrigue. This week's Stories Fables Ghostly Tales is a vintage crime extravaganza featuring four classic radio dramas from the legendary Crime Club series—each one wrapped in deceit, sprinkled with red herrings, and sealed with a suspiciously shifty side-eye.

    ABOUT CRIME CLUB:

    🕵️‍♂️ Crime Club (1946–1947) was a short-lived but much-loved mystery anthology radio series produced by Mutual Broadcasting System. It ran from December 1946 to October 1947, and each episode was based on a published crime or mystery novel from Doubleday’s “Crime Club” imprint—a real book club that specialized in detective fiction from the 1920s through the 1950s.

    🔎 What Made It Special?
    • The iconic host known as "The Librarian" was portrayed by two different actors during the series' run: Barry Thomson and Raymond Edward Johnson. Johnson was particularly renowned for his role as the host of Inner Sanctum Mysteries, bringing a familiar eerie presence to Crime Club as well.

    • Before Crime Club graced the radio waves, Universal Pictures had already adapted several of Doubleday's Crime Club novels into films between 1937 and 1939. This cinematic venture included 11 films, such as The Westland Case and The Lady in the Morgue, showcasing the brand's popularity prior to its radio incarnation.

    • While many episodes were adaptations of existing novels, approximately half of the Crime Club radio episodes were original scripts crafted specifically for the show. Talented writers like Stedman Coles and Wyllis Cooper (known for Lights Out and Quiet, Please) contributed to these unique stories, enriching the series' diversity.

    • ----------------------

      EPISODE BREAKDOWN:

      💎 The Topaz Flower – When a jewel sparkles a little too brightly, someone’s bound to end up horizontal.

      ----------------------

      🪦 Epitaph for Lydia – A high-society mystery with more secrets than a confessional booth during tax season.

      ----------------------

      🥊 Death is a Knockout – A punchy tale where fists fly, tempers flare, and someone’s ticket gets punched for good.

      ⚰️ Hearses Don’t Hurry – A slow ride in a fast hearse. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: A lot. But we won’t spoil it.)

    • The Thing Behind the Glass 🪞
      Hey Guardians of the Night! 🌃🌉🌌

      Today's new episode is a different breed of horror.

      It’s slow. It's rotting. It's inevitable....like bad cottage cheese!

      🌑 The Thing Behind the Glass follows a lonely boy who finds a mirror buried deep in the woods behind his new home...

      A mirror that doesn’t just reflect the world—it rewrites it.

      This story is not for little ears. 👂

      Expect intense imagery, vivid body horror, cosmic dread, and a slow, sickening descent into madness and transformation - you know, the usual here! 😉


      This tale builds and builds until the reflection staring back... isn’t you anymore.

      💀 What makes this story special?

      ✔️ Slow-burn psychological horror: Watch the world crack piece by piece.

      ✔️ Progressive body horror: The changes are subtle at first... then graphic, grotesque, and unstoppable.
      ✔️ Cosmic scale: It’s not just about one boy. It’s about the end of many, many worlds.
      ✔️ HELLSGATE SQUAD: You’ll meet the HellsGate Guardians, the ones tasked with cleaning up the impossible—is it too late?
      ✔️ Universe expansion: This is the beginning of a much bigger world filled with Breaches, Seeds, and nightmares waiting to bloom.

      🕯️ Thank you, my eternal Patrons:

      • To Matto Star, my indestructible Oud Night Tea Titan, mirror-breaker, and breach-smasher—thank you for your endless support and friendship.

      • To my White Tea Warlords—Lezzasaurus Rex (lifting horrors like dumbbells), Joseph (our zombie outbreak commander), Mayah (cat-magic master of the Breaches), and Sangeetha (our seer in the darkness)—your support is the armour that keeps these stories alive.

      • Inheriting an abandoned farmhouse should've been a new beginning.

        But some houses don’t sleep... they wait.
        And when the floorboards whisper your name—
        It’s already too late.

        🎧 Listen to The Thing Behind the Glass NOW — and remember...

        not every reflection is yours to claim.

        Stay strange,

        Stay sharp,
        Stay wicked....

        Stay you.....

        LOVE YOU LEGENDS and have a wonderful week ahead!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

      • THE INK DOESN'T DRY (Nosleep Style - Audiobook)

        Gooood Morning, Evening, or Gooodnight Night my ghastly gang! 👻

        PATREON SPECIAL: Extreme Audio Quality WAV File.

        A brand-new episode has dripped its way into your ears… and it might be one of the most disturbing tales I've released in weeks! 📖

        Warning: This one is not for little ears—intense imagery, body horror, and deeply unsettling themes.

        What makes this episode special?

        This isn’t just a scary story—it’s a slow descent into something monstrous.

        ✔️ Peeling wallpaper, ink that slithers, and a house that waits at the end of the street.

        ✔️ The transformation of one boy after a fateful encounter.
        ✔️ The lines blur, the mind cracks, and the ending? Let’s just say it sticks with you.

        Why you’ll love it (and maybe regret it a little):

        If you’re a fan of stories where everything seems normal… until it really, really isn’t—this is the episode for you. The horror builds, quietly, patiently. Then it devours you whole.....

        Audiobook format, with over 60+ custom sounds 😁🤩💜

        This tale is about curiosity. About what happens when you go just a little too far. About transformation—literal and emotional. It's twisted. It’s tragic. It’s vivid, graphic, and I've tried to make it as immersive as possible.

        So grab your headphones, turn off the lights, and maybe… don’t read anything lying on the floor.

        🖤 Thank you, Patrons, for keeping the darkness alive. Your support lets stories like this take shape.

        Stay wicked, and sooo much love your way!!!!

      • ODAM vs AVE - Origins 🚀🌌☄️
        G'daaaay Legends!! Happy Aussie Sunday mates! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

        BEFORE WE START an SFGT UPDATE: I'll be in Singapore from the 6/04/2025 to the 20/05/2025, so if you don't hear anything directly from me via email that'll be why. Once I'm back I'll pick up where I finished. 

        I have something very different for you this time...

        For those of you who’ve followed Stories Fables Ghostly Tales through haunted houses, vengeful spirits, cursed artefacts, and lonely forests where time slips sideways—you know the flavour of my usual brew.

        But now…

        We turn the page to something vastly different...
        Ancient. Cosmic.

        This is the story of Odam vs Ave: Origins—a sweeping, mythic science-fantasy horror (yes still horror) built on forgotten lore, biomechanical gods, and the quiet breath of war sleeping beneath our feet.....and organic battle suits!!

         🌌 The Premise

        Eons ago, two seeds were cast across the universe—Odam, reshapers of worlds, and Ave, guardians of growth and survival. They were never meant to land on the same planet…

        But on Earth, they did.

        And that mistake?

        It started a war no one remembers...well......not "no-one" exactly....

        I won't give any more away, I want you to experience the tale, going in blind. But I will say this....Vocalised Resonance - and that the AVE are Waiting. Listening.

        Until now!

        🎙️ What Makes This Story Different?

        Unlike my usual self-contained ghost stories or horror shorts, Odam vs Ave is going to be a serialized, long-form epic—told in rich detail, with cinematic pacing and deep emotional arcs. It blends body horror, mystery, ancient science-fiction, and a sharp focus on willpower, betrayal, and legacy as core themes.

        It’s about Leo Cauldon, a young student scholar who stumbles across something he shouldn't. A whispering artefact - not in the traditional sense, you'll hear what I mean. And a creature walking the earth that cannot be stopped—only survived.

        This isn’t just horror.

        It’s existential, beautifully broken, and utterly alien.

        🎧 Will this Sci-fi be horror based?

        Absolutely yes! The beginning chapters are there just to ease you in - like ALL my stories. They start of pretty lean, and as the chapters build up, they will have a lot more focus - leaning to horror - particularly body horror - so I cannot wait.

        If you love stories that build worlds layer by layer, that drip-feed ancient truths through action and unease…

        If you want to feel the heat of obsidian armor locking into place…

        If you’re ready to walk alongside a character who may save the world—or burn with it—

        Then Odam vs Ave: Origins is gonna be your jam mates.

        Thank you for supporting me as I branch into new, darker, stranger territory.

        You make this journey possible—and I can’t wait to share more of this world with you.

        CONCEPT ART 🎭🎨🧑‍🎨👨‍🎨👩‍🎨

        I hope you really enjoy this launch into the SCI-FI, because it's going to be wildly different than our usual horrific adventure. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜


        OPEN TO FEEDBACK - DO LIKE's / DON'T LIKES. Much like this story, I take feedback and am ever changing! 💜💜💜💜
