The World That Is Only Rocks
The world is only what we see of it. And when we can hardly keep our head above the water, that isn’t much. It is a luxury to wonder what else is out there. A luxury, and at times, a folly.

The Delphi Tapes: Paulies
Everything is falling into place for Amber Carr. She has hard evidence of Delphi’s political corruption, and the aid of an inside man. But there may be more at play here than greed, and the stakes are higher than Amber ever anticipated.

The Delphi Tapes: Boone Springs
Amber Carr is digging deeper into the corruption that plagues Delphi, Florida. She finally digs up some muck on a date at Boone Springs. The water is bitterly cold, but that’s not what sends a chill up Amber’s spine.

The Delphi Tapes: Blue Dolphin Motel
Today marks the launch of a new season and a new series: The Delphi Tapes. Amber Carr wants to write a story that matters. She chooses the small town of Delphi, Florida, as her subject. Political corruption and shady developers have bled Delphi dry, but the locals seem unconcerned about the town’s economic prospects given what’s lurking in its swamps. There’s something in the water in Delphi. Something very corrupt indeed.

Strong and Sweet
When the world is brutal, hardening yourself is a matter of survival. But the strong still need the sweet. I don’t write a lot of love stories, but this one sort of tumbled onto the page. I am someone who forgets the importance of sweetness sometimes, and this is a reminder to myself as much as any of you.

Out of the Hollow
Tragedy and adversity tend to bring out the best and worst in humanity. Some despair, others hope. We shut down, or we display strength and tenacity we didn’t know we had. These are the stories that tend to grip listeners. On a journey through otherworldly lands, the fall of night nipping at your heels, what drives you forwards?

Watch Party
There is no better way to watch a horror film than with a room full of friends to laugh and scream with you. But sometimes the act of observing, and watching, can influence what we get out of the screen. Do you know what’s going to happen next? Wait, don’t tell me. Spoilers.

Why Do We Want to Believe?
Today, I am not reading you a story. Instead, I am going to talk about belief. Why are tales of UFOs and cryptids and other creatures beyond our understanding so enticing? There are plenty of stories of terror, from kaiju films to Independence Day. But I want to focus on stories where the unknown is greeted with open arms. Fair warning, I will be spoiling The X-Files, The Three-Body Problem, and Arrival.

Dead Weight
We expect a vine and moss-caged mansion or a fog-shrouded graveyard to have its fair share of ghosts. But I imagine a place where we regularly, willingly push our bodies beyond their limits to suffer its own form of haunting. Well, not always willingly. We may feel something heavier than weights on our shoulders, a pressure we refuse to put down—even if it kills us.

A Promise for the Woodsman
This is Part 3 of the Ritual for Friends series. A year has passed since Mara confronted her maker, Nattmyr. With Henry, she is searching for a new patron—but there is no guarantee the Woodsman will be any kinder than the ancient mare. If you would like to read this story, or part 1 (https://everynookuncanny.substack.com/p/ritual-for-friends-pt-1) and 2 (https://everynookuncanny.substack.com/p/ritual-for-friends-pt-2), with your own eyes, you can do so here (https://everynookuncanny.substack.com/p/a-promise-for-the-woodsman), at everynookuncanny.substack.com This episode’s music: "Beauty Flow" “Leaving Home” “Comfortable Mystery 3” “Comfortable Mystery 4” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) This is a public episode.

The Ghost Tour is Over
Savannah is beloved by many in the South. It draws in tourists with both its earthly delights and its ghosts. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer in the supernatural, I think we can all agree that death leaves something behind. Legends have a way of taking on a life of their own.

Campfire Tales
We all make mistakes, and we all have experiences we’d rather forget. But when we are pressed to tell a story, what comes out is less a reflection of the truth and more a reflection of how we see ourselves and the world we wish to occupy.

Aberration at 150ft
Even the most prepared adventurer can get caught off-guard. When something truly deadly breaks through the seams of your world, do you forget what you were doing? The treasure you pursued? Or do you cling to it all the more tightly?

The Sacrifice
This story is set in a New Metropolis of sorts. A place where machines and corporations have more rights than the people working for them. A place where hope is in short supply. And a place that may seem all too familiar.

The Wake Demon
We may never know, for sure, what our dreams mean. If they are anything more than a funhouse reflection of our lives, our hopes, and our fears. What value they hold to others. But as powerful, as horrifying, as a dream may be, we decide what to make of it—at least, until our bodies pull us back into our fated slumbers.

Ritual for Friends (pt.2)

Ritual for Friends (pt.1)
Today I would like to read you the first part of a two-part story: Ritual for Friends. We all know it can be difficult to meet people and make friends in a new town. It’s especially difficult if you’re not really human, and you need friends in order to perform… a certain ritual. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

Digital Dissection
Welcome to Every Nook Uncanny. Today I would like to read you a story: Digital Dissection. It is a story of alienation, from others and from ourselves. We communicate and socialize by speaking to a camera or microphone, hoping someone out there is listening and will take the time to call back to us. But it’s not always the response we are expecting. You can read the story yourself here (https://everynookuncanny.substack.com/p/digital-dissection).
