Tales from the Crypt Chris Harvey Welcome to the Crypt... Mrs Clayton, Mr Maitland, Mr Elliot, Mr Jason, Mr Rogers... Beyond the doors there is a chamber hollowed out of solid stone, a chamber lit by torches, huge with flat rocks scattered about, and with something vaguely resembling a table at the far end. Beyond the table stands a throne made from slabs of uncut stone. If there is any way out of this chamber, other than the door by which you have entered, it is not visible... in other words, ladies and gentlemen - you are trapped! TALES FROM THE CRYPT! Guaranteed to keep you awake into the dark and lonely night! Trapped in catacombs that smell of ancient death, five forsaken people - four men and a woman - pour out the foul secrets of their fetid souls to a strange, sinister, black-robed monk...

Elliot... this heartless young man received visitors from After the Apocalypse Christopher Russell After the Apocalypse is a complete five-season post-apocalyptic science-fiction audio drama about what happens after everything familiar disappears. The story follows ordinary people caught in the collapse of civilization and forced to figure out how to survive, whom to trust, what they are willing to fight for, and eventually how to build something new. This is not a story about superheroes. It is survival fiction about people — flawed, frightened, funny, stubborn people — trying to make their way through a broken world. Across five seasons of serialized fiction, their stories intersect as communities form, loyalties shift, old assumptions fall away, and the survivors begin deciding what kind of world should come next. Seasons 1 through 5 contain the complete After the Apocalypse story. The series is finished and can be listened to from beginning to end. The podcast feed now continues as The Apocalypse Café,
