Spiders | A Quiet Horror Story About Guilt and Isolation

A lone drive.
An empty stretch of road.
And the sudden certainty that something has gone terribly wrong.

In this episode of Tales Under A Broken Sky, a young man fears he may have hit someone while driving late at night. He returns to the scene searching for answers, but what waits for him in the dark is far worse than he imagined.

Spiders is a slow-burn horror story about guilt, isolation, and the consequences of drawing the attention of things best left undisturbed. Expect atmospheric tension, creeping unease, and body horror as the night unfolds.

If you’re drawn to quiet dread, forgotten roads, and stories that linger long after the final line, this one is for you.

I speak briefly about why this show exists, what first drew me to audio storytelling, and the kind of fiction waiting in Tales Under A Broken Sky: surreal moments, dark fantasy, speculative horror, and reflective tales shaped by mood, metaphor, and voice.

If you’re drawn to forgotten places, slow-burning unease, and stories that linger like mist after the final line, consider this your invitation.

New episodes of Tales Under A Broken Sky arrive every two weeks.
