Jack, a hardened Australian ex-soldier, is sent to the desolate Antarctic facility for a six-month assignment. His mission?

The Gentleman From Hell

An entire town… gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow.

<p>Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent.

For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they’re determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow.

Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumours swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something… infernal?

Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched. Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared… but something still lingers in the shadows.

The investigation begins… now.

HumorUs Stories — Classic and Original Funny Stories

Classic Tales and New Laughs from Twain to Today


Comedy is the oldest trick in the book (or the short story), and HumorUs goes digging for the funniest classic tales with a few new ones sprinkled in. Each episode is one short story, narrated with care and a raised eyebrow. Bureaucratic guinea pigs that simply will not stop multiplying, courtesy of Ellis Parker Butler. A backwoods divorce that doubles right back into a wedding, by way of O. Henry. A shipwreck that strands exactly the wrong man, from the dry wit of W.W. Jacobs. A town so devoted to oversight it forms a committee to oversee the committees. Some of these tales are a hundred years old. Some are brand new. All of them prove the same stubborn little fact, that a good laugh never goes out of print. So pour something, settle in, and let the great humorists, famous and forgotten alike, humor us. A comedy fiction podcast from Short Storyverses.


All episodes are narrated by professional voice actor, Don McDonald.


Please help me out. If HumorUs makes you smile, please take ten seconds to give the show five stars in Apple Podcasts. A couple of recent one-star ratings (one stating that I am actually AI) have had an outsized effect on this young show. Your rating genuinely helps. Thanks.
