Rats - Labor Day, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leave it to M.R. James to title a story "Rats," and then immediately say it's not about rats at all. Sometimes, the thing under the blanket is much nastier than mere vermin! Labor Day is a challenging holiday to pair with tales of horror and spirits. It's a relatively young holiday, established locally in NYC in 1882, and as such it doesn't have any august or risible traditions for me to exploit. Still, I think this story has just enough about class in it to fit the bill while still keeping thin
Rokuro-Kubi - Obon, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, friends! Welcome back! Obon is more like the Japanese equivalent of Día de los Muertos than it is Halloween... though it bears a resemblance to Samhain as well. Yes, it is a time for remembering the beloved dead, but it's also a time to expect visitations from Things Beyond The Veil. Of all the possible visitors, Japanese Yokai are some of the most delightfully bizarre and grotesque. Lafcadio Hearn's tale of a samurai-priest and his encounter with Night Things ticks every box for me. It's
The Great God Pan, Chapter 8 (Featuring David Milloway) - Summer Solstice, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Great God Pan is dead, indeed. Thank you for coming on this journey with us. I noticed that some of you missed chapter 7, but rest assured, it is waiting for you. If you subscribe, that will never happen again. Machens truly knew how to craft a nasty tale. It will almost be a relief when we visit Japan at the week's end and join the festival of Obon! Japanese ghosts and goblins are always imaginative and entertaining. The usual Thank You to Vivek Abhishek for the use of his themes. His YouTu
The Great God Pan, Chapter 7 (Featuring David Milloway) - Summer Solstice, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our penultimate chapter, friends! Machen's novella is nearing its end, Helen Vaughn's fate is all but sealed, and... well, very little is right with the world. You don't need me to tell you that, though. You have eyes. David Milloway's voice work has continued to improve throughout this series. This is a good time to thank him for volunteering for a challenging project and learning the ways of Audacity in the process. We've been creative partners before, and it's good to be working together agai
The Great God Pan, Chapter 6 (Featuring David Milloway) - Summer Solstice, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our first content warning, I'm afraid. Don't worry, I'm going back and flagging "Encounter At Night" as well. This material isn't explicit in the usual sense, but the story is focused on people taking their own lives. If that's going to cause you pain, I recommend skipping to a different episode. We are closer to the end of "The Great God Pan" than the beginning now. Recording a novella and collaborating with a friend have both presented unexpected challenges. However, I have it on Dante's autho
