Creature Feature of the Month - The Tell-Tale Heart
This month, we're delving into the chilling world of Edgar Allan Poe with an offering from Tom Rory Parsons. Poe’s "The Tell-Tale Heart" has been a staple of horror literature since its publication in 1843 and for good reason. Published in 1843 “The Tell-Tale Heart”, explores the chilling emotional fusion of guilt, paranoia, and the human psyche.
The Tell-Tale Heart Keeps on Beating
"The Tell-Tale Heart" has had a significant cultural impact, particularly in the horror genre. Poe's story is often credited with paving the way for psychological horror, and it has inspired countless adaptations in film, television, and literature. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Poe's writing skill and ability to tap into universal fears and anxieties.
Meet Tom

In the American West of the 1880s, there is one stop along the Transcontinental railroad that is rarely visited.

April is the month of resurrections. The Queen of the Underworld has emerged bringing an end to the bitterly barren winter. Cybele’s consort Attis becomes a symbol of fertility after castrating himself under a pine tree, and a martyred carpenter rises from his tomb promising eternal life. Springtime myths and stories are imbued with the concept of resurrection. But here in Horror Land the ultimate symbol of resurrection is the zombie. Few other creatures lurking in our nightmares carry the idea of life, death, rebirth, and fertility quite as well as the modern zombie.
With that in mind we’ve unearthed a story from Ali Hylton called Human Error. Human Error takes a deep look at the zombie apocalypse and asks the question “What does it mean to be a monster?”
Human Error is an immersive audio drama about survival, found family, and finding hope within ourselves during dark and dangerous times when the world we know ends, and a new one is born.
Human Error comes to us from some of the creators who produced City of Statues for the 11th Hour Audio Challenge 2022.

February brings us Valentine’s Day, a holiday associated with love. The feast of St. Valentine was founded by Pope Gelasius I in 496 in honor of the martyred priest who performed weddings for Christian couples. On February 14th, the day of his execution, legends say that he wrote a note to a judge’s daughter whose blindness he had cured signed “from your Valentine“. Today relics of Saint Valentine draw pilgrims seeking true love. This month, in celebration of celestial affection, we bring you Jesus Gets Rejected. A short drama that reminds us that the heart wants what it wants, no matter the reason.
Vanessa (Christianne Greiert) is tempted by Satan (Mike Racioppa) and won’t accept Jesus (Cayenne Chris Conroy) into her heart.
May contain objectionable material.

January is the sacred month of Janus, the Roman God of all beginnings, endings, thresholds and time. He presides over the start of each new year and symbolizes the duality of change. Depicted with two faces Janus sees deep into the past and future, he resides in the passages between young and old, war and peace, and birth and death.
This January we bring you a story written by Gareth Brownbill and directed/produced by Peter Beeston of Cornucopia Radio. A Season of Changes tells the story of four people whose past misfortunes and future hopes become intertwined through a thin dividing wall and the cries of ghostly lament.
James sits alone in his flat dreading the things that lurk outside. Margaret silently considers how much time she has left as a machine rhythmically measures her heartbeat. Kathy slowly worries about what she has lost and Jane tries to come to terms with what she now has to cut away.
Peter Beetson and Hanna Lloyd were 2022 11th Hour Audio Challenge participants. Check out their submission Hell Stream - Like, Comment and Kill! here.
It is a season of change for all four of them, and that’s when the lightbulb flickers for a brief moment before the filament breaks at its weakest point and everyone is left in darkness. We know it’s only temporary and lightness will soon return… but can we be really sure?
CAST:
Ian J France as James Maggie Evans as Margaret Janice Whitworth as Kathy Hannah Lloyd as Jane

Greetings, Listeners!
This next story is something a little… different: It began as a piece of artwork. Artist and illustrator Vince Dorse has created a poster that’s laid out in a kind of narrative timeline. To showcase the poster, Vince has crafted a video that details his art process and contains a narrative version of the abridged tale, guiding the viewer through the stunning visuals. So why are we sharing it here? Well, the story is a classic piece of American horror–we’re certain you’ll recognize it. And it’s narrated and sound designed by yours truly, with help from the Uber Duo Horsin’ Around sound effects pack. Check the show notes for links to the video and Vince’s shop in case you’d like a poster for yourself. Now, button up your coats against the chill and journey with us to the quaint little town of Sleepy Hollow Youtube link: https://youtu.be/sYfka4cqJmg
