October Falls
by Philip James
October Falls is a gothic horror anthology podcast — a place where the fog never quite lifts and the past never stays buried. Each season tells a complete, standalone story, set in its own town, its own era, its own particular flavor of dread, but every one shares the same slow-burning, character-first approach to horror: real people, real relationships, and the patient, creeping sense that something has always been just slightly wrong.Season One, "Dead End on Wexler Street," follows nine-year-old Nathaniel Thorne through one unforgettable autumn in 1968 Cedar Hollow, Pennsylvania.
