From Within: A Tale of the Macabre
Set in the nineteen-thirties, From Within weaves an epistolary tale of terror and loss through the letters and journals of those who survived... and some who did not. Season one follows Sheriff Flynn, Dr. Cooper, and Hattie Ogle as they and their fellow residents of the township of Blightwood endure a threat beyond the reach of their comprehension.

Sparks
”These are the files sent to me by client 347. After asking him to write, for homework, what triggered his desire to seek help in psychotherapy, he emailed me these recordings. I have listened through them a few times, and am still forming my own opinion. Once you’ve had chance to listen to it all, I would be glad to hear what you make of it. It’s… unusual. You’ll probably want to go through it more than once, and, if I can make a recommendation: don’t listen alone in the dark. I look forward to hearing from you.” Sparks is a horror podcast told in a late-night confessional style. A ’found footage’ story that explores anxiety, generational trauma, and fate versus free will. Plus some other things, but no spoilers here.

Ghost Hampton
The public clamor over a purported haunted house in the middle of Bridgehampton has not died down, as much as Lyle Hall wishes it would—he’s the unlikely discoverer of whatever’s been going on inside the decrepit Victorian everyone calls Old Vic. Since Lyle’s near-death experience killing kindly Elsie Cronk with his Hummer in a grisly car crash, he hasn’t been the same. He’s seen the error of his ways, his misspent adulthood, his career as the town’s greediest lawyer, his attempted playboy lifestyle, and truly wants to make amends. One new wrinkle—Lyle hears things. Dead things, dead people. And sometimes sees them, too. He cannot control the sounds and visions. Especially when a sad girl in Victorian garb appears to him outside Old Vic. She wants something, just like living people, but does not speak English. However, she does show Lyle a terrifying vision: his estranged 30-year-old daughter’s tombstone. Southampton Police detective Georgie Hall has four more days to live. If you believe such things. And she does not.

The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath
The Foxkey Chronicles: What Hides Beneath is a western, horror audio drama that explores a world that is quite similar to our own, but not. In this alternate world, so different from the place you call home, our story takes place during a time that is far simpler and equally more difficult to live in. A time of westward expansion, where travel takes months and can only be done on foot or by wagon. A time where hope is all a person has as they search for that elusive thing called home. That is, if one arrives at their new home at all. We follow the tales of a place called Murkwood. A place much like any other, except hiding beneath drought-dry soil, is something sinister and deadly. There, the Foxkey family have staved off that darkness for generations, born both cursed and blessed, with the gift of power. A power that until now has managed to keep evil at bay. Remember kin, a Foxkey is not just born, they are made. If you are reading these chronicles, you are part of the clan, and entrusted with their protection. Go not into the shadows and watch your back, for when you enter this world, you too will never be safe. These chronicles are not for the faint of heart, and contain themes of a graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised.
