Darker Pastures

About Darker Pastures

Darker Pastures is a monthly horror fiction anthology, set in the very heartland of the North American continent: the vast and rugged landscapes of the Great Plains. The austere beauty of this open country is home to all manner of dreadful monstrosities, of both the everyday and the otherworldly variety, lurking in each shadow and sometimes even waiting in the full daylight. If you dare to join me, let us wander these darker pastures together. All stories written, narrated, edited, and scored by Lars Mollevand, unless otherwise noted. For all inquiries and feedback, please contact me at darkerpasturespodcast@gmail.com.
