Haunted UK Fiction: Tales of the Supernatural, Paranormal, and Uncanny

“It was only when he glanced at the waiting cars that Kian noticed something wasn’t right. Apart from the van’s juddering engine, none of the other cars were idling. There was no exhaust smoke tailing in the air. No sound of radios or movement. No drivers on their feet moaning…”

This is Haunted UK Fiction, a sister podcast to Haunted UK featuring original stories of the supernatural, the monstrous, and the unknown. In today’s episode, we present Death Toll (PT1), a wild and terrifying tale written by Mark Robinson.

About the Author:
Hailing from the UK, Mark Robinson writes horror, crime and speculative thrillers and hosts the Behind the Screams indie writer Q&A on Substack. With over thirty short stories published and five novellas slowly going out of print, Mark’s most recent work is Doll Parts, released in early 2026 from RDG Books Press.
The inspiration for Death Toll came to Mark whilst sitting by the pool on holiday, having just drove through the M6 Toll plaza in the early hours on the way to the airport and thinking how spooky the place was. He wanted to do something with ghosts, urban legends and the classic slasher trope, and the setting of a Toll plaza at night seemed to bring all those ideas together.

“Her scream made him drop his phone. One hand went to her mouth while the other pointed to the toll booth at the window. Ben spun, catching his elbow on the door. A spark zipped up his forearm. The operator in the booth was dead…”

It Shows Up When It’s Needed by Robert McDermott,

About the Author:
Emma has always had a fascination with ghost stories and supernatural tales, from hiding under the covers as a child reading Aidan Chambers library books, to hiding behind cushions as an adult watching paranormal investigations and listening to podcasts. Some of her writing is inspired by Yorkshire, a place she knows well, where stunning coastline, historic buildings and sometimes desolate landscapes lend themselves perfectly to a fertile imagination and the possibilities of spooky goings on.

“The dark oak staircase started to creak and groan as if in protest to an unseen weight bearing down on it. A sudden cold draught swept through the house and the door to the master bedroom started to bang to and fro…”

This is Haunted UK Fiction’s Flash Fiction Friday, original short-form stories of the supernatural, the monstrous, and the unknown.
In today’s episode, we present The Haunting of Manor Grove House, a terrifying tale where a seemingly straightforward renovation project becomes a desperate fight for survival when an ancient house reveals its darkest secret.

Written by Jules McBain, who has self-published three novels on Amazon over the last two years. Jules wrote this particular story two years ago as a challenge to write a ghost story within a set word limit of 1,700 words. She is currently in the process of writing two other novels: "Out of the Darkness We are Reborn", an apocalyptic novel about the end of the world through Judgement Day and "All I am, All I Will Ever Be" about a female midlife crisis.
