In this chilling episode of our horror storytelling podcast, we delve into the shadowy depths of the Pine Barrens with a tale that intertwines fear, folklore, and the unforeseen consequences of violence. "All Roads Lead to Hell" follows a group of teenagers on a daredevil quest into the heart of New Jersey's most notorious wilderness. Their adventure takes a dark turn when they encounter the legendary Jersey Devil, a creature as enigmatic as the dense forests it calls home. Amidst the thrill of the hunt, one teen's decision to confront and ultimately kill the beast sets off a chain of events that none of them could have predicted.
The story weaves a complex narrative exploring the cycle of violence and the heavy burden of generational trauma. As the curse of the Jersey Devil takes hold, our protagonist finds themselves isolated by their actions, struggling with the weight of their choices and the haunting realization that trauma can shape us in ways we never imagined. Through their eyes, we see how the aftermath of violence can alter one's outlook, leading to a life shadowed by fear and regret.
"All Roads Lead to Hell" is not just a story about a legendary monster; it's a deep dive into the human psyche, examining how trauma can isolate us, change our perspective, and echo through our lives and the generations that follow. Join us as we explore the isolating nature of trauma, the impact it has on our worldview, and the dark truth that sometimes, the real monsters are the ones we create ourselves.

Halloween Special: Selections from Poe
Tue, 24 Oct 2023 10:00:00 GMT
Unlock the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe in the Nightmares & Grief Halloween Special: "Selections from Poe." Join for an hour and a half of mystery, madness, and murder as we dive into the dark and haunting tales of this master of gothic horror.

"Hop-Frog" [start: 19:30] a story of oppression and revenge. Remember, in comedy, it's essential always to punch up, not down. "The Black Cat" [start: 46:00] a chilling exploration of guilt and madness. A ghost? A synchronicity? A gin-inspired delusion? Only you can decide.
