25: The Dead Have Highways
<p>There are more cars on the road than ever before, driving faster than was legally allowed or even possible in different parts of the past. Yet most of us don't think of roads as particularly scary in an everyday, real world sense. Still, stories of haunted or cursed roads, phantom cars, and more abound. From stories of murderous highwaymen, to beliefs and practices centered around the supernatural energy of crossroads, to urban legends of the classic urban legend of the vanishing hitchhiker, this episode covers why roads have long been seen as unsafe, often in strange or unexpected ways.</p><p>----------------------</p><p>My debut novel, <strong>THE SPITE HOUSE</strong>, is available for <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-spite-house-johnny-compton/1141344169?ean=9781250841414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pre-order now through Barnes & Noble</a> or an<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250841414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> indie bookseller near you</a>.</p><p>----------------------</p><p>For episode sources, scripts and more, visit <a href="https://healthyfears.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">healthyfears.com</a>.</p><p> </p><p>For my publication credits, visit <a href="http://johnnycompton.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">JohnnyCompton.com</a></p><p> </p><p>The opening theme for Healthy Fears: “Dark Game Background Loop” by Claudiu D.

23: Hostile Hotels
<p>Beyond being and easy excuse to entertain my appeal for alliteration, this episode's title gives us two words with an unexpected history. Said history underlines the fears that we can have of staying as a guest in a strange place. From murderous hosts like Procrustes, to oppressively haunted lodgings like The Overlook, this episode is all about the haunts and horrors human beings have experienced or invented while staying at hotels.</p><p>----------------------</p><p>My debut novel, <strong>THE SPITE HOUSE</strong>, is available for <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-spite-house-johnny-compton/1141344169?ean=9781250841414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pre-order now through Barnes & Noble</a> or an<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250841414" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> indie bookseller near you</a>.</p><p>----------------------</p><p>For episode sources, scripts and more, visit <a href="https://healthyfears.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">healthyfears.com</a>.</p><p> </p><p>For my publication credits, visit <a href="http://johnnycompton.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">JohnnyCompton.com</a></p><p> </p><p>The opening theme for Healthy Fears: “Dark Game Background Loop” by Claudiu D.
