Here we are, already at the end of the story. I have a number of these 3-4 hour novellas that are adapted from feature screenplays. I call these audio versions Spoken Screenplays and I hope that the three episodes of Zero feel like a cinematic
The 21st century isn't getting more stable. We are not going back to a nostalgic normal. Change is the new normal, whether it's in a way as dramatic as this or more of the slow boil variety.I guess I really have to re-classify this podcast out
This story has been many years in the making. I originally conceived it over 20 years ago and pitched it to an executive at Paramount as a feature film. He was so enraged by the concept of a world without money that he ended the meeting. My pro
I had a nightmare one night about a vampire who still lived a boring day-to-day modern life. It became THE SEETHING.The sixth story to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, The Seething features the writing and acting of DW Draffin, wh

Dark stories. Dark thoughts. But as Lacie and Mack realize, they can't make it through the day without hope. Even when all possible success has vanished and you are alone, you still cannot give up hope. Happy New Year.The fifth story to be fea

I consider this story to be action horror, the reading of which is similar to playing a video game. It has been a good introduction to reading for middle school kids who don't like to read, especially with the attached roleplaying game.The fif
So this all began one day on a long hike. I was on San Juan Island, WA. taking a walk by myself. And I thought: What would happen if a band of six goblins appeared at the far end of the trail? I had no weapons, no advantage. We saw each other a
So just what the hell is this story anyway? Well... that's complicated. And I'm tired. Just know at this point that it grew out of a roleplaying game for hikers called trailgoblins. This morning my wife and I climbed a mountain. I'll post the r
Maelstroms carpet the land. Trolls and goblins and ogres are real and they're destroying modern civilization. Welcome to The Horror Wars. Every few hundred years monsters invade the world. It takes the heroism of normal people to survive.The f
The first of my many Charlemagne stories, here I blend as much historical fact as we know of the ancient Saxons with the unhistorical legends of the king and his famous knights, along with my own speculation of the infamous destruction of the I

The return. Someday I might even explain what these short cryptic phrases over the last several episode descriptions mean.The third show to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, The Dark Black features the writing and acting of DW Draf

In 2024 some of my favorite Dashiell Hammett stories enter the public domain. He is my guide for hard-boiled writing. He and Raymond Chandler are the American fathers of cynical cops. For those of us who can't stay out of the shadows.The third
