Off Florida’s Forgotten Coast, a stranded shrimp trawler promises Jonah Daughtrey the payday he has spent years chasing. Its hull appears intact, its cargo remains aboard, and no rival salvager has reached it. For once, the advantage is his. But the crew has left no tracks on the beach, and a scavenging bird soon draws his attention to something caught in the nets. Aboard the Job 2:7, Jonah finds signs of a disaster that never made it into the ship’s distress calls. While his first mate searches the deck, he ventures below, following the prospect of salvage into cramped compartments fouled by decay. Somewhere beyond a closed door, something scratches. As the evidence mounts, Jonah must decide how much danger he is willing to overlook for a profit—and whether he has already waited too long to leave.

In 1994, the Lechtler family checked into room thirteen at the White Valley Hotel. By morning, both parents and their two children had vanished. The investigation yielded no answers, and the death of the hotel’s owner left White Valley with a mystery it would spend decades retelling. The hotel still welcomes guests, including visitors eager to spend a night in its most infamous room. For the young employee covering the overnight desk, that reputation is simply another way to keep a struggling business afloat. Then the newlyweds upstairs call to report an unbearable smell. With snow falling outside and the owners away, an apparently routine complaint draws the employee into the room at the center of White Valley’s unresolved past.

Shownotes
An evening meant to bring a husband and wife closer ends with the loss of their infant daughter. In the months that follow, he struggles to reach Beth through her grief while privately wrestling with anger and guilt of his own. When she begins cooking again, opening the curtains, and speaking about their daughter without breaking down, he allows himself to hope. But the stove stays lit long after the meals are finished. Candles burn in empty rooms, and he hears his wife talking when no one else is there. As her comforting routines become increasingly unsettling, he must confront the possibility that he has misunderstood what is helping her survive.

SmallDoc promises to make routine doctor visits a thing of the past. One simple injection puts microscopic medical machines to work inside the body, treating illness before it can disrupt everyday life. Dean Swanson’s friends swear by it. His mother feels better than she has in years. His boss sees no reason he should refuse. Dean would rather keep his cold. Then an unsettling phone call and a trip to the pharmacy give him something more serious to worry about. Familiar voices sound wrong. Ordinary movements seem strangely rehearsed. And the treatment everyone recommends begins to look less reassuring with every encounter.

Shownotes
At a small-town Florida carnival, the Ferris wheel stands still, the concession stalls sit abandoned, and something is growing where it should not. Detectives Dachery and Margot arrive to investigate a scene neither can explain. Flowers bloom from human remains. Moss spreads across the attractions with impossible speed. And a strange proclamation invokes a name that means nothing to them: the Moss Prophet. With daylight fading and backup still on the way, the partners search for answers among the remnants of a celebration gone terribly wrong. But every discovery makes the grounds less familiar—and their route back to the car more unsettling.

FEATURING GUEST NARRATOR MARK "MARKIPLIER" FISCHBACH! For a coroner-in-training in Washington, D.C., a call to the Metro should be another opportunity to learn. An unidentified man has been found slumped against a train window, with no pulse, no breath, and no obvious cause of death. Then he blinks. Inside the examination room, the supervising doctor insists there must be a scientific explanation. But as the autopsy proceeds, the young intern finds it increasingly difficult to work beneath the dead man’s attentive gaze. After all, how do you examine a body when you’re not sure it's really dead?

Elliot takes the same walk through his neighborhood every night. He knows the streets, the turns, the ordinary sounds after dark. But tonight, a sudden fog conceals the way ahead—and a frightened stranger insists that someone is coming. The man speaks of a ruler who demands tribute from everyone he encounters. Elliot wants to dismiss him. Then the streetlights begin to fail, and he hears claws striking pavement somewhere beyond the mist. With his familiar neighborhood disappearing around him, Elliot must decide how much to trust a stranger whose terror seems increasingly justified. Whoever is approaching expects an offering. The problem is, Elliot has nothing prepared. And he may not be prepared for the price he'll truly have to pay.

Scott Madsen has grown accustomed to sleeping alone. After years of sharing a bed and a troubled marriage, he can finally stretch out, settle in, and rest undisturbed. Then a cold touch follows him out of a dream. He wakes to find a hand wrapped around the foot he left outside the covers. Someone is beside his bed—or beneath it. Whoever it is won’t answer him. And when the grip tightens, Scott realizes that reaching the bedroom door may be far more dangerous than staying where he is.

Anderson can fly, shrug off gunfire, and reduce almost anything to ash with a glance. Naturally, he decides the world needs him as its superhero. Calling himself Supreme, he sets out to fight crime, stop disasters, and earn the admiration he knows must follow. But real emergencies refuse to behave like comic books, and the people he intends to save keep finding reasons to fear his arrival. Every mistake gives him something else to explain, while every criticism makes it harder to admit that he might be the problem. As his exploits attract an eager audience and the attention of people who want his power for themselves, Supreme becomes determined to prove he deserves the title of hero. For everyone within reach, that determination is increasingly dangerous.

Shownotes
Seeking a quieter end to a night out, a skeptical narrator settles into a London bar, expecting little more than cheap whiskey and football on television. Then a young woman with bright red hair, ruined makeup, and someone else’s drink drying on her clothes takes the neighboring stool. She introduces herself as Lucifer, though she’s happy to answer to Lucy. Concerned that she needs help, the narrator offers to call someone. Lucy would prefer a cocktail and a chance to tell her story. Her proposition seems simple: hear her out before deciding what to do about her. But as she talks about Eden, her father, and the circumstances of her fall, the conversation becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss. Her humor conceals a deep resentment, and the certainty behind her impossible claims begins to make the crowded bar feel disturbingly isolated. Settle in for an intimate, unsettling encounter with a stranger who has plenty to say—and every intention of being heard.

Christmas has become a season Dakota Storm would rather endure alone. Since the crash that took his wife and young son, the sheriff’s deputy has struggled to find a reason to keep going. An abandoned border collie named Apollo has given him one. Then a dying prisoner asks to see him—and makes a claim Storm cannot dismiss. Among the belongings his wife left behind, Storm finds a journal that sends him south to Memphis, where locked doors conceal suffering and asking the wrong questions can make a man a target. With Apollo at his side, he follows a trail that grows more dangerous with every answer, uncertain how much of the life he remembers he truly understood.

Shownotes
Teddy has made a terrible mess. His sister is dead. His beloved Peg has been destroyed. And Mother will be home at any moment. As Teddy races to conceal what happened inside their decaying family home, grief gives way to darker impulses—and an already horrifying crime threatens to expose the secrets the household has kept buried for years. But Teddy is not the only member of the family with a distorted understanding of love, obedience, and punishment. Written by Brian Warner, better known as Marilyn Manson, “All in the Family” is a transgressive descent into domestic depravity, where innocence has curdled into obsession and keeping a family together may prove more terrifying than tearing it apart.

Shownotes
Every Friday night, an elderly man visits a quiet convenience store and buys the same two things: a small packet of milk and a bag of cookies. He always comes alone, and the young clerk behind the counter has begun to wonder who the treats are for. Curiosity leads the clerk through the city’s darkened streets to an old junkyard, where the customer is waiting with a story he has rarely told. It begins with a childhood game, a hiding place chosen too well, and a door that would not open from the inside. Seventy years later, the man still returns to the place where he once waited for someone to find him.

Shownotes
In Perdition Ridge, the fog hides more than the horizon. A young boy lives among ramshackle shelters and hard-drinking shipyard workers, waiting for his father to explain why they cannot go home—and why his mother never came with them. His days belong to the fishing traps along the jetties. His nights are spent keeping quiet and hoping his father’s anger passes him by. Then a vessel emerges from the mist, carrying something no working ship should hold. The men ashore know more than they will say, and the stranger who promised his father a better life seems to have claims that reach far beyond a day’s labor. With little protection and fewer answers, the boy begins to discover that a cage can take many forms.

Shownotes
An evening of fishing should have ended before dark. Instead, three friends find themselves stranded on a quiet Finger Lake, their motor dead and their phones left behind. The shore is only a few hundred feet away, but with the summer cabins empty and no help in sight, they have little choice but to wait for morning. To pass the time, Paul tells a story about drowned men and strange shapes beneath the water. His companions laugh it off—until an empty rowboat drifts out of the darkness and their lantern begins to fade. As the hours stretch on, every unexplained sound draws their attention below the hull. In water this dark, there is no way to know what might be moving beneath them. Or what it wants.

Shownotes
A disturbing broadcast interrupts an ordinary evening in rural Vermont. At an abandoned cemetery, police have surrounded a mausoleum, a doomsday cult refuses to surrender, and the cameras are still rolling. Then a black fog pours across the grounds—and the transmission ends. Norman believes there must be an explanation. But as the darkness spreads through the countryside, cutting off roads and silencing communications, the emergency on television becomes a threat to the home he shares with his wife, Wendy. Authorities have issued a simple instruction: stay indoors. With the windows disappearing behind an impenetrable blackness, Norman gathers what he needs to keep them safe. Outside, shapes are moving through the fog. Inside, every unanswered question makes the house feel smaller.

A painful breakup has left one lonely bibliophile searching for companionship and a fresh start. A local book club seems like the perfect answer—until a visit to a flea-market bookstore places a cracked, leather-bound volume in his hands. Hidden inside is a folding Ouija board and a peculiar rhyme calling upon something known as the Mummer Man. Most of the group considers it harmless fun. Their host, Tara, is not so certain. When the chant ends and she sees a figure approaching through the cottage, skepticism gives way to terror—and the familiar rooms around them begin to obey a far more sinister set of rules.

A university logo, a few Halloween decorations, and a generous cash prize make Fright Club look like an easy challenge. For one skeptical student and his friend Jesse, a hundred-dollar side bet makes entering irresistible. The rules are simple: no heart conditions, no leaving before the bell, and nothing follows you out. Then the lights go out. Their phones stop working, something begins scraping in the darkness, and the pumpkin in the middle of the room feels disturbingly warm beneath a searching hand. As a campus competition becomes an ordeal he can no longer explain, the student must decide how far he is willing to go for answers—and whether the people running Fright Club ever intended to let its contestants walk away.

Three friends arrive in Nepal determined to conquer Mera Peak before their vacation days run out. They have climbing experience, a tight budget, and every reason to believe the warnings about an off-season ascent are overly cautious. Clear skies and easy progress seem to prove them right. Then the snow begins, an injury slows their pace, and one of them claims a stranger has been watching him sleep inside his tent. There are no unfamiliar tracks outside, and his companions are reluctant to believe him. But as visibility dwindles and the distance between the climbers grows, the possibility that someone is following them becomes harder to dismiss. High on the mountain, with the weather closing in, they must decide how much they can trust one another—and what they are willing to believe before it is too late.

For fifty-two years, Silas and Emma have shared a life in the West Virginia mountains. These days, their pleasures are quiet ones: evening tea, familiar conversation, and sunsets watched from the back deck. Then, one September night, Silas discovers a yellow carousel standing in the empty field behind their home. There are no fairgrounds nearby. No visitors have come up the mountain. Yet the scent of cotton candy drifts across the grass, and the beautifully carved deer seem to promise a happiness he thought he had outgrown. Silas takes a ride. Before long, he is waiting for every sunset—and keeping a secret from the woman who knows him best. As Emma searches for a way to reach her increasingly distant husband, the coyotes gather beyond the house, and something wonderful becomes harder to leave behind.

DreamShare promises the ultimate escape: a world built from imagination, where friends can share impossible adventures, abandoned dreams can become reality, and the limits of waking life no longer apply. For Evan Delaney, it begins as everything the advertisements promised. Each night offers another breathtaking world and another reason to leave ordinary life behind. Then an unfamiliar man appears inside a private dream—watching Evan, following him, and uncovering memories no stranger should possess. Soon, pieces of Evan’s subconscious begin surfacing in the waking world. People know his secrets. The application refuses to remain deleted. And the mysterious visitor makes it clear that Evan’s dreams no longer belong to him. To reclaim his mind, Evan must uncover what DreamShare is truly collecting—and confront the presence waiting beneath its most beautiful illusions. But in a world where consciousness has become the ultimate commodity, waking up may no longer be enough to escape.

Shownotes
For as long as Joan can remember, her brother has wanted to make great films. What began with a childhood camera has hardened into an obsession—one fueled by arrogance, cruelty, and an insatiable appetite for increasingly disturbing material. Then he hears about Better Films. Spoken of in nervous whispers throughout the industry, Better Films is said to distribute its productions only on VHS. Those who have watched them refuse to describe what they saw. Its scarred representatives arrive without warning, and its history may reach further back than cinema itself. Joan wants nothing to do with the investigation, but years of manipulation have left her trapped beneath her brother’s control. As his search draws the attention of the people behind Better Films, she is forced across a boundary where suffering becomes performance, cameras are never as passive as they appear, and the difference between documenting horror and participating in it begins to disappear.

Years after escaping the masked stranger who imprisoned her, Zella travels to the prison where he is serving his sentence. She tells herself she has come to prove that he no longer owns any part of her. But the scars covering her body are not the only things she carried out of that basement. Something lives inside Zella, something hungry enough to sense the darkness clinging to everyone around her and patient enough to wait for the smallest fracture in her resolve. As memories of captivity, manipulation, and forbidden rites begin forcing their way to the surface, Zella must confront a terrifying possibility: returning to her captor may not have been entirely her decision.

At Forest Oaks, repairs are temporary, complaints are ignored, and the tenants have learned not to expect much from management. For Dale, the complex’s new maintenance man, the job is only something to endure until better work comes along. Then he receives a request from apartment 11-A. BeBe Evans needs her thermostat fixed—and insists the temperature must remain precisely seventy degrees so she can continue observing her universe. The other residents call her “Crazy God Lady.” BeBe claims the title is more accurate than they realize. Dale dismisses her warnings, mocks her promises, and leaves the repair unfinished. But when impossible things begin appearing around the complex, he is forced to wonder whether the woman in white is truly delusional—or whether he has offended something capable of governing life, death, and what comes afterward.

Bullied, isolated, and desperate to escape his tormentors, Bradley runs into the woods—and finds a place that should not feel as though it has been waiting for him. Raised high among the autumn trees, the bat house is home to far more than the creatures named on its warning sign. Its shadowed interior seems to recognize Bradley’s pain. Its inhabitants whisper his name. And somewhere beyond the open hatch, something hidden from the daylight offers the frightened boy a sanctuary unlike any he has known. But refuge can become temptation, and the darkness that welcomes the unwanted rarely gives without expecting something in return.

After losing his career, his marriage, and nearly everything he had saved, Caleb returns to his quiet Midwestern hometown hoping to begin again. Instead, he encounters a warning that has circulated through the community for generations: never travel Briar’s Bend after dark. The isolated road has been the site of countless unexplained accidents. Drivers report losing control on clear nights, their vehicles suddenly pulled toward the trees by a force they cannot see. Older residents claim the cause is something known only as the Hairy Hands. Caleb has no patience for ghost stories—until an invisible grip seizes his steering wheel. Drawn into the road’s disturbing history, Caleb discovers decades of crashes, frightened survivors, and accounts that conventional explanations cannot resolve. The closer he comes to understanding Briar’s Bend, the more dangerously personal its legend becomes.

On the outskirts of Nobility, Texas, Colt makes his living buying and selling the things respectable people pretend they don’t want. Guns, drugs, stolen goods—everything has a price at Colt’s Junk, provided the local police receive their share. Then two men arrive with something Colt has never seen before: an ancient, mummified body stitched together from the remains of multiple people. Colt expects the grotesque discovery to earn him a small fortune. But after nightfall, the corpse begins to move—and its damaged limbs seem to be asking for help. When satisfying its needs brings an extraordinary change in Colt’s luck, a single illicit purchase becomes the foundation of a far more horrifying enterprise.

Private investigator Marlo Stark has built his career confronting mysteries that would unsettle lesser men. When Anne Hanpenberg hires him to locate her missing brother, the assignment carries him deep into the German mountains and through the doors of a crumbling ancestral castle where every corridor seems to conceal another secret. Fredrick Hanpenberg has vanished, but the evidence he left behind points toward something far more disturbing than an ordinary disappearance: grotesque journals, hidden chambers, hooded intruders, and a forbidden staircase descending into the earth. As Marlo follows the trail beneath Castle Hanpenberg, he begins to suspect that he was not merely hired to solve a mystery.

Shownotes
After an eternity spent wandering the burning caverns of Hell, a nameless Southern soul is offered something almost unimaginable: a promotion. His new handler calls him Country and promises him water, shelter, and occasional passage back into the world of the living. All Country must do is enter the body of a girl believed to be possessed, follow the instructions transmitted through a strange insect-like device, and obey the rules governing Hell’s ancient contest with Heaven. Unfortunately, Country has received no training, understands almost nothing about his assignment, and has no intention of returning to the caverns. When his first mission places him inside a dark toolshed with three armed men closing in, desperation turns a carefully controlled operation into a nightmare of confusion, violence, and infernal consequences.
Blending black comedy, supernatural terror, and uncompromising brutality, Drew Stepek's “A Little Bit Country” takes listeners into a vision of Hell where damnation has departments, suffering comes with paperwork, and every opportunity may be another form of punishment.
