In the summer of 1976 New York City was on the verge of bankruptcy, citizens were fleeing the city for the suburbs and corruption was so widespread that there seemed no end to the misery. And just when everyone thought it couldn't get any worse... a madman unleashed a vicious killing spree that would last thirteen months and bring the greatest city in the world to its knees. Originally dubbed The .44 Caliber Killer because of the weapon used in the attacks, the world would soon come to know him as The Son of Sam.

About The Devil Within

From the publisher's feed

The Devil Within is a cinematic podcast about the stories that refuse to die — the legends, disappearances, curses, and supernatural encounters that linger long after the world moves on.

Each episode blends history, folklore, and investigation to explore what really happened… and why these stories still haunt us.

From mythical creatures and haunted places, to strange crimes and unexplained phenomena, The Devil Within starts where the facts end — and the unanswered questions begin.

New episodes weekly. Bring a light. You may need it.

BINGE THE FIRST FOUR SEASONS NOW!

Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them.

Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...

Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill.

Season 4: Satan's Shadow - In the 1980s, California learned that fear doesn’t always lurk in the dark.

Sometimes, it walks right through the door.

SATAN’S SHADOW follows the terrifying rise of Richard Ramirez — the Night Stalker — while tracing his crimes alongside Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. As Ramirez descends deeper into violence, we descend with him through Dante’s circles of hell, asking what happens to a city — and a soul — when darkness becomes a spectacle.

Across nine episodes, each chapter pairs the facts of the case with a brief lesson from Dante: desire twisted into obsession, cruelty masquerading as power, betrayal, violence, and the chilling fascination that draws us closer instead of pushing us away.

Because Ramirez didn’t just kill.

He captivated.

He made the world watch — and forced us to confront the part of ourselves that can’t look away.

Bonus episodes explore the trial, aftermath, and the myths that followed — along with glimpses into Purgatorio and Paradiso, and whether redemption or meaning is possible after horror.

SATAN’S SHADOW isn’t only about a murderer.

It’s about a culture slowly walking toward darkness…

and what it costs to climb back out.
