March 05, 2025 Ship of the Cannibal Rats: Shipwreck Survivors Trapped on a Rat-Infested Ghost Ship
Luka and Chance survive a sinking freighter and escape shark-filled water, only to climb aboard an abandoned liner crawling with hungry rats. Ship of the Cannibal Rats by David O'Hanlon turns a rescue into another trap. The drifting Lyudmila Gurchenko has no welcoming crew, little food, and movement inside its walls. Its animal inhabitants have claimed the ship, and the two men must find a way through rusting corridors before the swarm closes in. Maritime survival horror, grotesque ingenuity, and dark humor drive a voyage where reaching a larger vessel does not mean reaching safety.

March 03, 2025 Terrifying & True | The Melonheads of Ohio — Dr. Crow and Kirtland’s Urban Legend
On dark roads near Kirtland, Ohio, local stories warn of the Melonheads—figures said to have escaped a doctor's cruel experiments. Terrifying & True explores the Dr. Crow legend and its changing versions in Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut. Alleged laboratories, woodland sightings, and rumors of institutional abuse give each retelling a local setting, but the claims do not establish that the creatures or the doctor existed. Hear how fear of difference and the isolation of a country road helped build a monster story, and why a memorable explanation can outlast the evidence behind it.
