April 01, 2020 BONUS Story - "My Shadows"
In our second "free to the public during pandemic" Patreon post, we bring our first $5 tier benefit - a bonus story! As I mention early on, since it will be free through at least all of April & May (and maybe June), would you do me a favor and be a Patron for This Present Darkness? I will give you plenty of heads up before I turn billing back on sometime this Summer so you can cancel if you want, but, it would be a great help to me and my fam during this time!
Here's our Patreon and thanks ahead of time!

March 22, 2020 Making of "The Silver Corner King"
Since we're all in a common, world-wide struggle right now - which is a rare thing to ever say in one's lifetime - I wanted to share all the content I possibly can, including normally "Patreon-Exclusive" episodes like this one.
I'll pick back up on the Patreon exclusives once we're "out of" this mess, or at least close to that point. But, until then, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek at the making of "The Silver Corner King"
Here's a few of the people I shouted out in this episode:
Frank Hood's Youtube Channel - Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places
Olive Hill & Thirteen podcasts by the immensely talented Ian Epperson
The Antique Shop from Ghostly Thistle
And Whispers in the Night, from my good friend Seng

March 06, 2020 The Silver Corner King
"‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation." - Numbers 14:18
A young man wrestles with the mystery of his grandfather's past and its generational effect on his relationship with his own father. What he finds may uncover terrible truths that, perhaps, should've stayed untold.

January 23, 2020 The Making of "Auld Lang Syne" (Preview of Patreon $3 Tier)
Hi all,
Thanks so much again for following along with me here and supporting me in any way shape or form (including just listening!).
Today I wanted to make a public post that would normally be a "benefit" in the "$3 Tier" on my Patreon so that you can get an idea of one of the things included there.
I also talk a bit about the podcast itself and what motivated me to get started.
Have a listen and enjoy!
