BONUS: Nine II Midnight: Terrors of the Real World

Author: Rat Grimes October 31, 2022 Duration: 1:02:35

It seems like the terrors of the real world are most appealing to you and for good reason... 

On the Eve of Halloween, a dozen storytellers sneak inside the abandoned Darklight Carnival grounds to share a chilling batch of stories in two varieties. This year they split up to uncover the fears that lurk within and horrors that walk among us.

One group will head to the Ferris Wheel to tell tales of real-world terror. The other will venture into the Funhouse to spin yarns of the frightening spirit world. Which path will you embark on first?

Tucked away in the heart of the midwest, the Dead Letter Office of Somewhere, Ohio is a place where the mail that never made it finds a home. This fiction podcast, crafted by creator Rat Grimes, unfolds within one of the country's last such offices, a setting that naturally blends the eerie with the everyday. You’ll follow Conway, Wren, and their colleagues as they sort through the archive’s bizarre backlog, each piece of lost correspondence a gateway to a short, unsettling tale. The tone here is a unique mix of horror and comedy, where the surreal feels as familiar as a dusty parcel. Each episode delivers two distinct stories pulled from the stacks, offering glimpses into strange realities inspired by a tapestry of influences from the atmospheric mystery of Twin Peaks to the gothic weight of Edgar Allen Poe. As a solo project from a nonbinary artist, the podcast carries a distinct, personal voice, finding its own peculiar rhythm somewhere between the weird fiction and science genres. It’s a collection of oddities and echoes, a quiet examination of the things society misplaces, all waiting to be discovered in the dead letter office.
