August 28, 2024 Book Return — A Cursed Book Unleashes a Demon in a Library
A forbidden book hidden inside a library wall turns the night shift into a demonic emergency. In Douglas Waltz’s “Book Return,” a Battle Creek librarian finds a leather-bound volume marked “Interitus”—destruction. Opening it gives a late-night patron something far worse than a good read. With the quiet stacks becoming a battleground, local history and the mysterious Jerome Blackwell may hold the only useful clues. This occult horror story makes an ordinary library mishap feel like the worst possible reason to break a book’s spine.

August 26, 2024 Monthly Spooky | Edinburgh’s Haunted Doll, Wild Monkeys & Moon Folklore
A menacing doll in an Edinburgh charity shop, wild monkeys disrupting a Thai city and ghost hunters in an abandoned school lead Monthly Spooky’s August 2024 conversation. Henrique Couto and Michelle also visit the legends surrounding Greyfriars Kirkyard before turning to myths about the Moon. Haunted objects, alleged voices and lunar folklore offer plenty to question—and laugh about. Why do ordinary places and familiar sights become so unsettling once someone gives them a ghost story?

August 25, 2024 Unknown Broadcast | The Sin Eater: Appalachian Ritual, Kidnapping and the Burden of the Dead
An Appalachian sightseeing trip becomes an abduction when a family selects a stranger to inherit a dying man’s sins. James Reed came to collect folk songs; now he and his wife Lucille are trapped beside a ritual neither agreed to join.

August 23, 2024 A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe: Lost Joy, Memory & a Light in the Darkness
A vanished happiness returns in sleep, offering a lonely speaker more comfort than the waking world. Edgar Allan Poe’s “A Dream” is a brief poem about lost joy, memory and the distant light that can guide someone through darkness. This atmospheric reading reveals a quieter side of Poe: grief and hope share the same image, and the dream matters precisely because it cannot last. For listeners drawn to Gothic poetry and melancholy rather than a monster or a murder, this short episode makes room for the feeling that the past can be both painful and precious.

August 19, 2024 Terrifying & True | Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield & the Crimes That Inspired Horror
Ed Gein’s crimes in Plainfield, Wisconsin, helped shape some of horror cinema’s most recognizable monsters. Terrifying & True examines the disappearance of Bernice Worden, the discovery at Gein’s farmhouse and the grave robberies behind its disturbing contents. The episode follows the real case alongside its influence on “Psycho,” “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and “The Silence of the Lambs,” keeping fiction distinct from the people and crimes that inspired it. How did one isolated farmhouse cast such a long shadow over horror? We're telling that story tonight.

A deserted hut, troubling discoveries and the sound of bells at night leave Loring uncertain whom to trust.

August 16, 2024 Four Murder and Revenge Horror Stories — Blood Rage, Cannibals & Obsession
Four horror stories bring murderous appetites uncomfortably close to home. “Blood Rage” by Rob Fields, “The Dinner Guests” by Shane Migliavacca, “The Fall of Man” by David O’Hanlon and “Deb Debbie Deborah” by Migliavacca explore revenge, dangerous encounters and obsession.

August 14, 2024 Twenty-Two Minutes: A Ghostly Lumberjack & a Countdown to Survival
A ghostly lumberjack is hunting Laura, and the 911 dispatcher says help is twenty-two minutes away. In Bruce Haney’s “Twenty-Two Minutes,” a proposal hike has already ended in bloodshed. Now Laura is hiding in a remote ranger station while an axe strikes the trees outside. Bear spray cannot stop an apparition, the trailer offers little protection, and every question costs time. This Pacific Northwest ghost story combines wilderness survival, grim humor and an emergency call that may outlast its caller. How do you hold off something you cannot hurt?
