Micro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids™, 2026#MicroTerrors #WeirdDarkness

Ever wondered what's hiding in the shadow of your closet door or under the creaky floorboard? Micro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids explores those deliciously spooky questions with a collection of original tales crafted by Scott Donnelly. Designed for brave listeners aged eight and up, each episode delivers a compact, family-friendly fright, blending chills with a surprising mix of comedy, science, and fiction. You'll hear stories about mysterious sounds in the attic, peculiar creatures discovered in backyard experiments, and everyday objects that turn just a little bit sinister. The tone is more fun-sized thrill than nightmare fuel, perfect for sharing during a car ride or as a slightly daring bedtime story. Of course, every child's sensitivity is different, so a little parental guidance is a good idea before diving into these bumps in the night. Tune in for a unique podcast that proves you don't need gore for a good scare, just a big imagination and a willingness to listen... closely.
