BONUS: Nine to Midnight

Author: Rat Grimes October 29, 2021 Duration: 1:35:21

On the eve of Halloween, nine storytellers make their way to an abandoned asylum to share their terrifying truths about the darkness that exists around them. As the tales unfold, each more visceral than the last, the nine may just discover that it is not the waking world to fear, but the horrors that lay within.

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.
