Love love love, the diversity and length of the stories and the different panels within the episodes. Rarely a cliche of a horror story and that’s great!

Discovered this JEWEL while recuperating from surgery. I am totally binging on this whole series through the process. The stories are amazing! When the pain meds clock me out, I pick up where I left off . I am a fan of horror podcasts and this is absolutely one of the best. Thank you!

Apple Podcasts5jccpotoUnited States6 months ago - Been enjoying Tales To Terrify for years now
I’ve been listening to Tales to Terrify for about six years now and each week I hear Drew Sebesteny’s voice, it’s like meeting with an old good friend again. I always liked watching The Twilight Zone, and the Outer Limits, and these stories are similar to that concept and always enjoyable to listen to.
