Westside Fairytales: Horror and Dark Fiction Stories episodes

November 03, 2017 So Long Roscoe
Ever felt stuck in a rut? Today's episode of the Westside Fairytales is about a woman who feels trapped in a life she never expected to live. Her husband doesn't appreciate her. She doesn't have any hobbies, any friends, or really any social interaction aside from her children.

But an old friend has stopped by to help her break out of this funk. Somebody from her childhood that always shows up when she needs him.

This month’s recommendation:
Literature recommendation: ”Universal Harvester” by John Darnielle

We're now more than halfway through the off-season, and new episodes of Westside Fairytales are just around the corner. Today's minisode is just a trifle. A snatch of memory. The creeping sort of horror that walks with you for a while even after you've said goodbye.

April 16, 2017 110 - The Last Car
Have you ever felt trapped, even when, technically, you were free as a bird? Our modern society is full of gilded cages, just waiting to swing closed right behind us. We feel trapped by our jobs, by our family, by our relationships, and our failures. Even by our own bodies. Today we’ll hear the story of a man trapped by his life decisions, a man who smiles at everybody through bars only he can see. But as he becomes trapped in a monolithic warehouse with something not of this world, he finds the bars he thought were holding him weren’t as solid as they seemed. @WSFairytales @realTylerBell bitly.com/westsideitunes bitly.com/westsideyoutube [email protected]

April 01, 2017 109 - Without Eulogy
Today’s story is a sort of sci-fi western, set at the edge of space in a time unknown. Our small cast of protagonists are escorting a sick man to the far edge of the frontier, ostensibly to die. It’s as dangerous a trip as any, and as our protagonists walk further into the wild of that unknown planet, it becomes clear that not all of them will return from their journey alive. @WSFairytales @realTylerBell Westside Fairytales on Facebook iTunes - bitly.com/westsideitunes Youtube - bitly.com/westsideyoutube

March 18, 2017 108 - Gourmand Gourmet (Part Two)
This episode is the second half of Gourmand Gourmet, where our hapless protagonist has found he can no longer keep any traditional food down after emergency brain surgery. After slitting the throat of a lamb during a Central Park Nativity scene, he discovers the one thing he can eat is human blood and flesh. With that knowledge in hand, he must decide whether it's better to starve to death ... or to go hunting. Part One is available on iTunes, along with the entire Westside Fairytales archive. @WSFairytales @realTylerBell FB: Westside Fairytales iTunes: http://bit.ly/westsideitunes YouTube: http://bit.ly/westsideyoutube

March 05, 2017 107 - Gourmand Gourmet (Part One)
A well-respected food critic finds he's no longer able to enjoy food after emergency surgery to remove two large cancer granules from his brain. Not only is not able to enjoy it, it tastes utterly foul to him. As his career, relationship, and dignity are put on the line, our protagonist puts his hope in curing himself by finding something to eat that doesn't come up right after he chews, but in time he finds the only item on the menu is the most taboo of foods.

February 17, 2017 106 - The Twinkling Kad
Today’s tale is based loosely on my own life. I too lost a job I’d worked very hard to get, and I too had to take work as a night watchman at a construction site. Sitting there in the dark, alone in the middle of nowhere, you will start seeing things. Little bursts of light and twists of shadow. The only thing more frightening than that, I believe, would be finding out the thing you thought you’d saw was actually there. @realTylerBell @WSFairytales Facebook: Westside Fairytales iTunes: http://apple.co/2klpQjF Youtube: http://bit.ly/2jNnBVJ
