In a time of strife and contention, a figure rises up to draw the masses together.  The question is, what are his intentions? This extremely short tale gives us a glimpse into the manifestation of one of Lovecraft's more notorious creations fro
It's stories like this that make me glad we have better regulations on prescription drugs.  Tonight's episode is a tale of misfortune and bad chance as a weary scholar tries to revive his heath and vitality.  Many of our stories have a haunting
For many, there is a feeling of peace and calm inside the walls of a church.  Our protagonist was hoping for the same feeling and a brief respite after a stressful few days. What he found instead, chilled him to the core and brought him face to
Wednesday's Weird Stories returns after it's brief hiatus with one of my favorite Lovecraft tales.  The Music of Erich Zann weaves a harmony of supernatural horror and mystery in true Lovecraft fashion.  One of the things I really enjoy about H
This week's story falls more into the weird realm for me rather than the paranormal or spooky.  There are themes throughout The Invisible Girl that challenge not only the sensibilities of the day, but are still things that we consider taboo tod
Depression and desperation are two things that today's youth struggle with on a daily basis.  The Hanging Tree is a fictional tale dealing with very real topics that are still considered taboo to discuss freely.  In this episode, we are given a
It can be a little frightening when it is discovered that the person held in high regard is not as noble and just as we expected.  They may even be a monster!  Listen in as Guy de Maupassant carries us through the development of a madman in his
You might want to have some tissues at hand for this week's story.  Listen in as we hear the tale of a young girl's struggle through life in a world that just doesn't seem to make sense.  While this tale is fiction, it is based in the unfortuna
Told through the style of a journal, this tale by Guy de Maupassant is a haunting one that makes you question all those around you.  We often think of criminals as easy to spot and recognize, but that is certainly not always the case.  Unfortun
This week's tale is part of Chambers' collection of weird short stories, "The King in Yellow". A story of animal rescue and the haunting nature of lost love weaving through the poor, artist district of Paris.  Grace, the studio kitten, provided
There's a little less spooky going on this week, but R.W. Chambers still paints a vivid picture of the haunting nature of lost love.  This tale is part of a larger collection of stories under the title of The King in Yellow and I'm sure we will
That creepy old guy that lives down the street?  Yeah, he might not be as good of a target for your robbery as you might think.  Listen in to this week's tale of not judging a book by it's cover! 
This week we explore Poe's tale of madness and murder.  There is a sub text here that is not very veiled about the dangers of alcoholism and  and how much it can change a person as well.  Of all the stories we have explored, this is one of the
If you know me, you had to see this coming at some point.  If the cat guy didn't do "The Black Cat", it would just seem, well, weird.  This classic tale weaves the story of a man's descent into madness and murder. Not only does this story demon
This week we take a lighter look at the paranormal with a satirical tale by none other than ol' Mark Twain himself.  There is just about every cliche about hauntings rolled up into one spooky and hilarious tale about a confused ghost and what i
Yes. THAT Samuel Clemens.  You may be asking yourself, what Mark Twain was doing writing ghost stories and I asked myself that same question.  This week's story was written as a satire of the popular haunted house tales that were springing up l
We're taking a trip through a haunted house this week!  Join Jim Shorthouse and his Aunt Julia as they explore that weird house in the middle of town.  If you like watching all those ghost hunting shows, this is an episode for you! Guest appea
As someone who works in the paranormal field in my spare time, this story hit a lot of really hot spots for me.  Of the various haunted house tales that I have read and heard, this one really spoke to a lot of what I have seen, heard, and felt
What do you do when you are confronted with a horror so unimaginable that you just can't process it?  Listen in to this week's tale of an encounter with one of the Old Gods and a glimpse of life before man.
I'll be dipping into the Cthulhu mythos this week as I share a tale of a stranded sailor and the terror of what he finds upon reaching land.  Dagon is a fairly widely used character in the mythos, and I feel like it represents a blending point
This week's tale is a prime example of why you do not brush off the warnings of the locals and go wandering a foreign countryside on your own.  The hubris of travelers can easily be their downfall as well.

Savage.  That is the only word to decribe the revenge plot that Montresor has for Fortunado in this classic tale from Poe.  The next time somebody you have been picking on, asks you to go for a drink, you might want to think back to this story.
