A horror anthology podcast exploring the shadows where reason falters and light dares not linger.
Shadows come in a thousand shapes—some drawn long beneath a dying sky, others drifting and lost beneath a wandering cloud. Yet one certainty has always remained: every shadow must have a caster. But what if that isn’t true? What if darkness could stand on its own?
Here, the familiar laws of nature crumble. The Tower of Teeth rises from the soil, the Corpse Flower Plague spreads its rot, and the Great Darkness of 1999 still stains the edges of memory. In these tales, science fails, faith fractures, and the night no longer needs the day to exist.
Some stories stand alone; others intertwine—threads of a greater tapestry woven from nightmare and myth. Each reveals a fragment of the truth hiding in the dark… waiting to be seen.
Welcome to a world where shadows live—and they are watching.
