The Signal: A Horror Fiction Podcast



Synopsis:

"This is The Signal... Point of origin unknown... Destination unclear... It carries with it fragments of other places... Other times... Stories from unfathomable pits of darkness and worlds of unquenchable, all-consuming light... These tales of realities both unimaginably distant and terrifyingly close are woven into, around, and through... The Signal" -The Narrator- The Signal is a unique horror fiction podcast that combines elements of a radio drama, an audio fiction reading, nonfiction exploration of strange phenomenon, and even an interactive contest. Follow Dr. Miles Teagan as he discovers a mysterious broadcast that, as it gains in strength, warps the world around him into something nightmarish; an inescapable universe of terror where the tales he hears invade his every waking moment, and his only hope of salvation is to follow... The Signal.
