Chilling Tales for Dark Nights: A Horror Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast

Great fictional stories with incredible imagery. I was also not expecting to hear Drew Blood reading on a channel other than his !! Great surprise !!

I listen to a lot of horror stories and this would be the best show. The short stories have actual plots and a storyline. And the voice actors that aren’t AI.

I will start by saying I listen religiously, so that alone should probably get it a great grade. Some stories feel like they were written by ChatGPT and come off pretty lame and empty, but many are really good. The voice actors tend to be excellent. Where this show regularly misses the mark is in production. It feels like an after thought, like someone did it, but then never bothered to see how it sounds before releasing it. There are episodes where a specific voice is all but lost to the sounds. They are often consistent throughout as if someone just overlayed a piece of music or some form of white noise. Sometimes it world well enough to forget about it for a story or two. Then you get a great story that’s well acted and you can’t hear a child’s voice over the gamma waves they dropped on it. That’s really frustrating because I want to listen and instead I’m frustrated and annoyed as I’m missing entire chunks of the story. I’ve had to skip some episodes after a few minutes, which is really annoying when they spent ten minutes at the beginning trying to sell you something and then follow it up with poor production. It’s free though, so there’s only so much you can expect. If it tried to charge I would be far more critical of the way it refuses to let me enjoy some episodes.

These stories are great. Definitely enjoy the suspense components. They work well listening through single speaker or headphones.

Very disappointed with the delays. Maybe you should switch back to once a week since you can’t handle putting out two episodes on time each week.
