Keith Rosson | Second Deaths

Author: Adamant Press March 6, 2024 Duration: 45:39
Chuck was wire-sick again, so he hobbled up onto Jerome’s porch one sunny afternoon, need curling his spine like a bent clothes hanger. Jerome was the guy who could get you whatever you needed, as long as what you needed was wire, or crank, or a pallet of Captain Chompberry cereal, or twenty cartons of stolen Lithuanian cigarettes. | © 2024 by Keith Rosson.

There's a particular chill that comes from a well-told dark story, a feeling NIGHTMARE MAGAZINE-Horror and Dark Fantasy Story Podcast knows intimately. This audio edition of the critically-acclaimed digital magazine, edited by Wendy N. Wagner, transforms its written pages into a haunting soundscape. Each episode is a curated descent, presenting original short stories and flash fiction that span the entire spectrum of the unsettling. You might find yourself immersed in a classic tale of a haunted house one week, only to be plunged into a tightly-wound narrative of psychological terror the next. The authors featured are as diverse as the horrors they conjure, including celebrated award-winners and compelling new voices you'll be grateful to discover. Produced by Adamant Press, this podcast serves as a monthly audio anthology for those who find fascination in the shadows. It’s more than just an audiobook experience; it’s an invitation to explore the artistry of fear, where the timeless appeal of a campfire ghost story meets the sharp edge of contemporary dark fantasy. Settle in, if you dare, and let the latest issue pull you into its depths.
