May 03, 2024 Five Tales of Ancient Evil: Ol’ Bones, The God Tongue & Other Dark Legends
Five horror stories uncover powers far older than the people who disturb them. Includes “Ol’ Bones” by Joe Solmo; “The Last Days of Jimmy Flavor” and “Careful What You Wish” by David O’Hanlon; “The God Tongue” by Dan Wilder; and “The Chain of Time” by Killian Crane. Narrated by Henrique Couto, this more-than-two-hour collection moves through forbidden woods, occult crime, living scripture, a sinister fairy tale and wishes with hidden costs. Ancient monsters, dangerous books and cruel bargains connect five distinct encounters with things that were never waiting to be understood.

May 01, 2024 The Creature from Richardson’s Lake — No Swimming After Sundown
Richardson’s Lake has one rule: no swimming after sundown. Four teenagers ignore it, bringing beer and floats through a broken fence for a private summer adventure. Charles Campbell’s “The Creature from Richardson’s Lake” sends them into dark water where something with gills and claws is already feeding. The shore suddenly looks much farther away. This Southern aquatic horror story turns a familiar swimming hole into a creature-feature trap, with trespassers discovering why the daytime attraction closes so promptly. A moonlit swim is a poor time to learn what lives beyond the ropes.

April 24, 2024 Hellweaver: A Dark-Web VR Game Where Player Death Is Real
Winning a dark-web VR match earns money; losing can kill the player outside the game. In Rob Fields’s “Hellweaver,” a ruthless beta tester fights through a ruined virtual Strickfield toward the right to challenge its demon goddess. Her boyfriend Ajaxis has supplied hardware beyond anything sold in stores, and the rewards keep growing with the risk. This explicit techno-horror story combines lethal gaming, cryptocurrency and supernatural ambition. Maxing out her character opens the final challenge—but the rules protecting the boundary between the screen and her home may not be what she thinks.

April 22, 2024 Terrifying & True | Somerton Man: Tamám Shud, Carl Webb & Australia’s Enduring Beach Mystery
A body on an Adelaide beach, a scrap reading “Tamám Shud” and a book with mysterious markings made the Somerton Man an enduring Australian mystery. Terrifying & True follows the 1948 discovery and the clues that fueled theories about identity, espionage and death. The episode also considers the genetic-genealogy work that pointed to Carl Webb in 2022, without treating a proposed name as an answer to every question. A scrap meaning “finished” became the beginning of decades of investigation. What brought this man to Somerton Beach—and what happened before he arrived? We're telling that story tonight.

Unknown Broadcast presents “The Corpse Laughs,” an Inner Sanctum crime mystery in which Gus Miller’s impersonation draws him into a household with secrets of its own. A storm isolates White Oaks while the details of his scheme begin to slip beyond his control.

A backwoods camping trip turns into a hunt when an enormous, dog-snouted creature stalks two friends at their clifftop campsite. Michael Kelso’s “We Were Hunted by Something Terrifying in the Woods” follows Adrian and the narrator from a familiar climbing route toward a cave with evidence of earlier victims.
