Westside Fairytales: Horror and Dark Fiction Stories

Welcome to The Westside Fairytales Podcast


Demons, desperate souls, and eldritch horrors


We at the Westside Fairytales have written a story for you. Not you in that broad sense where you just means anybody, but you, Dear Listener. We know all about you. What makes you nervous, what sickens you, what keeps you from leaving your house sometimes for the maddening worry of it. And we’ve put it in a story. A story we’ll read for you.


These strange and varied original tales will linger long after you've finished listening.


The Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast is an award-winning audiodrama written, read, and produced by author Tyler Bell. New episodes are released every month and can be found at westsidefairytales.com, or wherever you listen to podcasts.


The first 4 seasons are comprised of a variety of short stories. Seasons 5 and 6 each are a season-long novel broken into episodic chapters. While each story can stand on its own, all content takes place in the extended Westside Fairytales universe, with continuing themes, characters, and connections.


The Horror and Lit Club episodes are discussions, interviews, and reviews that are separate from the regular fiction episodes.


Thanks for listening! Subscribe and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.


Buy our short-story collection The Eyes Beneath My Father's House on Amazon and pre-order Tyler's debut novel West By God from The Henlo Press!
