Chilling Tales for Dark Nights — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast

Years after escaping the masked stranger who imprisoned her, Zella travels to the prison where he is serving his sentence. She tells herself she has come to prove that he no longer owns any part of her. But the scars covering her body are not the only things she carried out of that basement. Something lives inside Zella, something hungry enough to sense the darkness clinging to everyone around her and patient enough to wait for the smallest fracture in her resolve. As memories of captivity, manipulation, and forbidden rites begin forcing their way to the surface, Zella must confront a terrifying possibility: returning to her captor may not have been entirely her decision.

At Forest Oaks, repairs are temporary, complaints are ignored, and the tenants have learned not to expect much from management. For Dale, the complex’s new maintenance man, the job is only something to endure until better work comes along. Then he receives a request from apartment 11-A. BeBe Evans needs her thermostat fixed—and insists the temperature must remain precisely seventy degrees so she can continue observing her universe. The other residents call her “Crazy God Lady.” BeBe claims the title is more accurate than they realize. Dale dismisses her warnings, mocks her promises, and leaves the repair unfinished. But when impossible things begin appearing around the complex, he is forced to wonder whether the woman in white is truly delusional—or whether he has offended something capable of governing life, death, and what comes afterward.

Bullied, isolated, and desperate to escape his tormentors, Bradley runs into the woods—and finds a place that should not feel as though it has been waiting for him. Raised high among the autumn trees, the bat house is home to far more than the creatures named on its warning sign. Its shadowed interior seems to recognize Bradley’s pain. Its inhabitants whisper his name. And somewhere beyond the open hatch, something hidden from the daylight offers the frightened boy a sanctuary unlike any he has known. But refuge can become temptation, and the darkness that welcomes the unwanted rarely gives without expecting something in return.

After losing his career, his marriage, and nearly everything he had saved, Caleb returns to his quiet Midwestern hometown hoping to begin again. Instead, he encounters a warning that has circulated through the community for generations: never travel Briar’s Bend after dark. The isolated road has been the site of countless unexplained accidents. Drivers report losing control on clear nights, their vehicles suddenly pulled toward the trees by a force they cannot see. Older residents claim the cause is something known only as the Hairy Hands. Caleb has no patience for ghost stories—until an invisible grip seizes his steering wheel. Drawn into the road’s disturbing history, Caleb discovers decades of crashes, frightened survivors, and accounts that conventional explanations cannot resolve. The closer he comes to understanding Briar’s Bend, the more dangerously personal its legend becomes.

On the outskirts of Nobility, Texas, Colt makes his living buying and selling the things respectable people pretend they don’t want. Guns, drugs, stolen goods—everything has a price at Colt’s Junk, provided the local police receive their share. Then two men arrive with something Colt has never seen before: an ancient, mummified body stitched together from the remains of multiple people. Colt expects the grotesque discovery to earn him a small fortune. But after nightfall, the corpse begins to move—and its damaged limbs seem to be asking for help. When satisfying its needs brings an extraordinary change in Colt’s luck, a single illicit purchase becomes the foundation of a far more horrifying enterprise.
