Today’s episode has been sponsored by Territory is the new novella from Dan Howarth.

In a remote Finnish hunting community, darkness and the cold hold the villagers close. As a pack of wolves threaten the village’s future, grief-stricken hunter Jari must unite the population to reclaim their territory.

Old feuds and dark habits rear their heads as Jari tries to lead the villagers through their toughest season, but it soon becomes clear that not everyone will survive the winter.

Territory is available on 10 June.

Forget the familiar tales you think you know. The Other Stories | Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller, WTF Stories is a weekly anthology that digs into the strange, the unsettling, and the profoundly unexpected. Created by Hawk & Cleaver, a digital story studio dedicated to crafting absorbing narratives, this podcast delivers a fresh, self-contained story every Monday. Each episode is a journey into a different corner of the imagination, drawing inspiration from the spirit of classic anthology series but with a distinctly modern voice. You might find yourself in a near-future city where technology has a terrifying price, or in a quiet house hiding an ancient, whispering secret. The genres bend and blend, offering everything from psychological dread and cosmic horror to mind-bending science fiction and darkly ironic thrillers. The common thread is a commitment to compelling fiction that pulls you in from the first line and leaves you thinking long after the final sound fades. It’s a curated escape for anyone who craves a story that defies easy categorization, where the only guarantee is that you won’t hear the same thing twice. Tune in and let your weekly routine be interrupted by something genuinely other.
