An amalgamation of dark fiction and disturbing music in podcast form. Horrific, fantastic, dystopian, but always tinged with a bit of sinister darkness.
Got a minute or two? We have a way- to make it NOT okay. Sinister Minutes features the dark narratives of writer and storyteller Kurt Hohmann, combined with the macabre musical musings of Tim Parker.

Golden Hour - The Cotillion of the Dead
Todays tale, Golden Hour, comes to us courtesy of guest author Jordan Marie McCaw. She's an artist and writer living in Southern Oregon whose fiction has appeared in Stonecoast Review, Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, Creepy, and more.

Once we've hiked up the mountain and captured that perfect shade of crimson, Tim's looking to open the holes in your head even wider with a sharp little number entitled The Cotillion of the Dead.
