Horror Hill — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast

Seeking three quiet months away from New York City, Jeremy retreats to an isolated farm in rural New Jersey with little more than a roomful of books and plans to spend the summer immersed in the classics of Gothic literature. At first, Poroth Farm seems ideal. His landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are reserved but welcoming, the countryside is peaceful, and Jeremy finally has all the solitude he could want. Then the natural rhythms of the farm begin to falter. Something strange moves through the woods. Animals behave in ways Jeremy cannot explain. Familiar creatures become suddenly unfamiliar. And as the summer wears on, Jeremy's comfortable skepticism is tested by a mounting series of incidents that seem increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence, superstition, or imagination. Surrounded by the very horror stories he came there to study, Jeremy begins to confront a far more disturbing possibility: perhaps the darkest ideas preserved in old books were never entirely fictional.
T.E.D. Klein's “The Events at Poroth Farm” is a masterful slow burn of isolation, paranoia, cosmic dread, and creeping transformation, now presented as a standalone audio horror release and performed by Erik Peabody.

When two brothers stumble across an unmarked book hidden among the dusty shelves of their local library, what begins as an innocent curiosity quickly becomes something neither of them can explain. The strange symbols covering its pages seem meaningless to Bill—but to his younger brother Aaron, they are beginning to make perfect sense. Soon, Aaron is experimenting... and succeeding. As impossible tricks become increasingly dangerous demonstrations, Bill watches the brother he knows disappear behind an obsession with knowledge that was never meant for him.

Two tales. Two very different nightmares. And two reckonings waiting in the darkness. In our latest episode, we journey from the blood-soaked wilderness to the quiet corridors of grief, pairing Jack Finn’s savage tale of supernatural retribution, “The Hunters,” with Ambrose Ibsen’s melancholy ghost story of love and regret, “The Smell of Old Paper.” One story asks what happens when nature finally gets its revenge. The other asks whether the things we leave unsaid ever truly leave us.

This week on Horror Hill, prepare for a double feature of wildly inventive horror that gleefully blurs the line between terrifying and absurd. A murdered man discovers the afterlife comes with far more responsibilities than he ever imagined, while an unimaginable catastrophe transforms humanity's darkest fears into flesh-and-blood monstrosities stalking the streets. Packed with unforgettable imagery, razor-sharp dark humor, supernatural dread, and creatures that defy all logic, these two unforgettable tales prove that horror doesn't have to play by the rules to leave you looking over your shoulder.

When Howard Blake journeys to the isolated village of Port Humber to investigate his brother's disappearance, he expects to uncover bandits, misfortune, or tragedy—not tales of witches, spectral riders, and things that move through the forest after sunset. But every frightened face in town tells the same story, and every warning points toward a lonely stretch of coastal road no sane traveler dares follow after dark. As reason collides with legend beneath gathering storm clouds, Howard discovers that some myths endure because they're true—and that there are places where humanity is no longer the dominant force.
