The unseen creature whose ravenous fangs dog your every step as your footfalls echo down the midnight alleyway.

A long, icy shadow looming over you, making the hairs on your neck rise and your breath turn to ragged puffs of mist.

Unearthly howls that pierce the night, pulling you from the comfort of sleep with feverish, heart-pounding dread.

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!

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.
