    Double Trouble: When the Hunter Becomes the Hunted & The Martyr's Fatal Lie

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to stare into the abyss where shadows dance and bullets fly! This week, get ready for a double dose of danger that will leave you breathless. We're diving deep into the twisted world of "TRUE KILL" by the legendary Orlando Madsbrine, bringing you two tales of deadly deception and cold-blooded consequences you won't hear anywhere else!First up, we plunge into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse in "Blood Money." Imagine this: Sarah, a shadowy political broker who's made a fortune orchestrating assassinations from the safety of the sidelines, suddenly finds the tables brutally turned. This queen of the kill list becomes the target! Picture her in a crowded airport, designer suitcase in hand – a wolf in chic clothing – when a terrifying message flashes across her phone: "We know who you are." Suddenly, her carefully constructed anonymity shatters. No longer the puppet master, she's the prey. What follows is a desperate fight for survival as Sarah, armed with nerves of steel and a hidden weapon, navigates the chaos of the airport, triggering alarms and dodging relentless pursuers. Cornered at international gates with sirens closing in, she faces a terrifying choice: capture and torture, or a final act of defiance. Get ready for a pulse-pounding ride as Sarah decides to write her own ending with a deadly parting gift. Will she escape the trap, or will her bloody past finally catch up to her?Then, we descend into the dark heart of revolution with "Ghost Martyr." Meet Nikolai, a ruthless assassin with a truly audacious plan: fake his own death to ignite a violent uprising he secretly controls! Three weeks after his staged assassination, the city is in flames, and Nikolai watches from a rooftop, a puppet master pulling strings. His face is plastered on posters; his name echoes in the streets. He's become a legend in his own fabricated martyrdom. But karma, as always, has a bullet with his name on it. A sudden, unexpected shot rips through the night, and Nikolai realizes his grand deception has a fatal flaw: he's still mortal. As his lifeblood drains away on a rain-soaked rooftop, the revolution he ignited rages on, completely unaware that their martyr is dying a lonely, unmourned death. In a cruel twist of irony, this architect of chaos will be found later by cleaning staff, just another unidentified body swept away with the trash. His name will inspire rebellion, but the man himself will be forgotten, a ghost consumed by the very flames he set ablaze.#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrime #Assassination #Murder #Intrigue #Suspense #Action #Thriller #DeadlySecrets #Betrayal #Conspiracy #HighStakes #CrimeStories #AdrenalineRush #YoungAdult #TeenFiction #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #BloodMoney #GhostMartyr #ClickbaitTitle #MustListen #PodcastRecommendations This is a public episode.

    Viking Vengeance & The Mastermind's Blunder

    Welcome back, shadow dwellers, to another thrilling descent into the darkness on TRUE ASSASSINS! The only weekly show that dares to peel back the blood-soaked curtains on history's most lethal operators, all inspired by the chilling tales in Orlando Madsbrine's masterpiece, TRUE KILL.This week, prepare for a double dose of deadly deception! First, we plunge into a world of clashing steel and savage betrayals with a tale of Viking vengeance gone brutally wrong. Picture this: a fearsome Saxon warlord, Athelred, carving through Norse invaders like a hot knife through butter, only to be blindsided not by a Viking axe, but by the poisoned whisper of treachery from within his own ranks! His trusted advisor, lured by glittering gold, sinks a fatal arrow, leaving Athelred in the dust and the Vikings slithering away like snakes in the night. But hold onto your horned helmets, because this isn't the end! Athelred's widow, the formidable Elgifu, isn't one for weeping. Oh no, she's brewing a storm of her own, fueled by a grief so potent it forges her into the Head-taker, a legend whispered in terrified tones across the fjords. Forget battlefield glory; Elgifu’s war is a cold, calculated dance of retribution, where the severed head of her fallen husband becomes a grim calling card, a brutal message delivered one Viking longship at a time.But wait, there's more blood to spill! Fast forward to a plush drawing-room where appearances are as deceiving as a double-edged dagger. Enter the pompous Inspector Thaddeus, a self-proclaimed genius of deduction, and his bumbling sidekick, the seemingly inept Eustace. While Thaddeus puffs his pipe and pontificates, Eustace trips, stumbles, and generally makes a catastrophic mess of everything. Everyone, including the smug Lady Windemere, dismisses him as a harmless fool, a source of comic relief in the face of grim murder. Little do they suspect that behind those wide, apologetic eyes lurks a mind as sharp as any assassin’s blade! Eustace's clumsiness is a masterful act, a smokescreen for his deadly designs. Shattered vases and toppled furniture become the perfect cover for planting poisoned darts and eliminating targets with breathtaking audacity. Even the great Thaddeus falls prey to Eustace's charade, collapsing in bewildered surprise as the "incompetent" sidekick pulls off the ultimate disappearing act, leaving behind a legacy of unsolved 'accidents' and the chilling truth that the greatest assassin is often the one you never see coming.#TrueCrimePodcast #Assassins #MurderMystery #Betrayal #Vengeance #Vikings #Saxon #Poison #Deception #TwistEnding #HeadTaker #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #CrimeStories #DarkHistory #Intrigue #Suspense #YoungAdultReads #TeenFiction #DeadlyShadows #CloakAndDagger #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills This is a public episode.

    Scarlet Vengeance & Oliver Twist's Knife

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to drag history's deadliest operators out of the shadows! This week, buckle up buttercups, because we've got TWO tales of vengeance so scorching, they'll leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. Prepare yourselves for a double dose of darkness ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's TRUE KILL!Episode 1: Scarlet Letter Slayer: This Puritan Town Ain't Big Enough For Her and Their Sins!Alright, folks, picture this: a seemingly shamed woman, branded for life with a big ol' scarlet 'A'. You'd think she'd just curl up and cry, right? WRONG! Our girl, Hester Prynne, wasn't about to let a bunch of holier-than-thou Puritans have the last laugh. Instead, she flipped the script and turned their precious piety into their worst nightmare. Forget your knitting circles, these ladies were getting cryptic, blood-red warnings stitched into their linens by Hester's "dagger" of a needle. One adulterous deacon even found his tunic blooming with a scarlet accusation – talk about awkward at the next sermon!But Hester wasn't just handy with thread; she knew the forest like the back of her hand. Suddenly, the magistrate's pantry was looking mighty bare thanks to some strategically placed rot and blight – a little "witchcraft" with a wink, courtesy of Hester. And that fire-and-brimstone reverend? Let's just say his next sermon was cut short by a surprise ingredient in his wine – a little something to loosen his hypocritical tongue permanently. Even her former flame, the revered Dimmesdale, wasn't safe from her slow burn of justice. His big public confession? Hester hijacked the show with a reveal that exposed his cowardice and their entire town's delusional faith in him. Years later, they whispered tales of the 'Scarlet Avenger'. They thought she was a shadow of the past? Oh, they were in for a grim surprise!Episode 2: From Pickpocket to Phantom: When Oliver Twisted the Knife on His Exploiters!From the bleak fog of London's underbelly crawls our next avenging angel: Oliver Twist. Forget "Please, sir, I want some more"; this Oliver wants payback – served ice cold! Fagin's den of thieves? Still stinking of greed. But Oliver wasn't there for petty theft anymore. He'd graduated to a different kind of "handling" – the kind that involves sharp objects and silent takedowns, thanks to a new mentor. First on his list? The Artful Dodger himself, looking a little less artful with a blade where his charm used to be. Fagin's bellow of rage? Followed by the chilling realization that his little pickpocket was now a ghost with a vendetta.Our boy Oliver wasn't stopping there. Corrupt magistrates choked on "gifts," cruel workhouse matrons met a silent end in their beds. The underworld, once his prison, now whispered his name with a mix of terror and a strange kind of hope. Even Fagin, swimming in his ill-gotten gains, couldn't escape the phantom footsteps and the poetic justice of a noose. Oliver vanished back into the fog, leaving behind a city where the predators suddenly felt very, very hunted. He was no saint, but in a world of darkness, he was a shadow of retribution, a twisted echo of their own cruelty.#TrueAssassinsPodcast #DeadlyShadows #CaptivatingAssassinationTales #BloodPacts #MurderousLegends #Betrayal #CloakAndDagger #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #TrueCrime #Podcast #CrimeStories #Justice #Revenge #HesterPrynne #OliverTwist #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #YoungAdult #Teen This is a public episode.

    Davy Jones' Bounty and The Shadow Witch!

    Ocean's Fury, Shadow's Feast: When Killers Become the PreyWelcome back, shadow seekers and thrill junkies, to another chilling episode of TRUE ASSASSINS! Your weekly deep dive into the darkest corners of human nature, where the line between hunter and hunted vanishes faster than a whisper in the wind. Tonight, we're cracking open the sinister pages of Orlando Madsbrine's TRUE KILL to bring you two tales so twisted, so deliciously dark, they'll leave you sleeping with the lights on! Forget your cozy mysteries, folks, because we're plunging headfirst into the abyss where karma bites back with the force of a tidal wave and the silence of a suffocating shadow.First up, brace yourselves for a taste of the briny deep with a story we're calling "The Fisherman's Fatal Catch." Picture this: a seemingly lucky fisherman named Elias, the envy of his village with his consistently massive hauls. But beneath that salty exterior lurked a cold-blooded killer with a truly ingenious, and utterly horrifying, method. Elias wasn't just casting nets for fish; he was using them to dispose of… well, let's just say the sea became his silent partner in crime, swallowing secrets along with the bodies of those he deemed dispensable – the drifters, the drunkards, anyone whose disappearance wouldn't cause too many ripples. He was a master manipulator, turning the vast ocean into his personal graveyard. But the sea, as they say, always gets its due. One fateful, stormy night, Elias's luck took a turn as sharp as a rusty hook. That relentless ocean he'd used to conceal his gruesome deeds unleashed its fury, a rogue wave turning his own deadly net against him. Imagine the terror as his own invention, the very tool of his dark trade, became his suffocating shroud, dragging him down to join his many victims in the murky depths. The hunter became the ultimate catch, served up to the cold justice of the abyss. They'd find his boat adrift, chalk it up to a tragic accident. Oh, the irony!Then, just when you thought you could catch your breath, we descend into a world of ancient magic and creeping darkness with "The Shadow Witch's Final Fade." Meet Anya, the shadow-bender, a powerful shaman whose mere presence cast a pall over her village. This wasn't your friendly neighborhood sorceress; Anya wielded shadows like deadly weapons, settling tribal disputes with a flick of her wrist and a twist of darkness. Rivals miles away would simply… collapse, their shadows contorting into grotesque farewells. Sickness, accident, they called it. Anya knew the truth: the shadows obeyed her, and the price? Apparently, she didn't care. But power, as always, comes with a terrifying price tag. The night she targeted a young warrior, the darkness decided it was done being her puppet. His shadow, instead of shrinking, ballooned, a terrifying inky beast turning on its mistress. Panic surged, but Anya, ever the controller, tried to whip it back into submission. Big mistake. The shadows had a hunger of their own, an ancient, insatiable craving that Anya had foolishly awakened. They coiled around her, not in a swift kill, but a slow, savoring consumption, stealing not just her life, but her very essence. The whispers she once commanded became a maddening chorus as she was absorbed into the darkness, becoming part of the monstrous entity she sought to control. In her final terrifying moments, Anya realized she wasn't the predator; she was the bait. She vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a chilling absence and the haunting reminder that some powers demand a payment far beyond blood.So there you have it, two tales of terror from the twisted mind of Orlando Madsbrine in TRUE KILL. Remember, listeners, darkness may offer power, but it always demands a return, often in the most gruesome and poetic ways imaginable.#TrueCrimePodcast #Assassins #MurderMystery #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #DeadlyShadows #DavyJonesBounty #ShadowBender #Karma #JusticeServed #ChillingTales #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultBooks #HorrorStories #CrimeStories #PodcastRecommendations #MustListen #DarkTales #OceanHorror #MagicGoneWrong #Revenge #FatalMistakes This is a public episode.

Get ready for another episode packed with betrayal, impossible choices, and the kind of twists that will leave you absolutely breathless!EPISODE TITLE: Phoenix Killer or Fiery Fate? The Assassin Who Had to Die!Tonight, we unearth the shocking story of Reina, an assassin so lethal, so unstoppable, she was whispered about in the shadows as a force of nature. Marked by a blazing phoenix on her very skin, legend claimed she was reborn from ashes, an immortal warrior. But for Reina, this mark was a curse, an unending nightmare of deadly contracts and a life constantly flirting with the grave. Picture this: our ghost-like killer scaling a mountain fortress, slicing through guards like they're nothing but straw in the wind, all to reach her target in a golden-lit chamber. But hold on tight, because here's where it gets INSANE! Her mysterious contact, the puppet master behind these impossible kills, isn't pointing at some heavily guarded warlord. Nope! Instead, Reina finds a sinister pyre waiting, surrounded by unlit torches. The horrifying truth slams into her: SHE is the target! This wasn't just another mission; it was her final trial, her ultimate death sentence, designed to shatter the eternal cycle of the phoenix. With weary acceptance, Reina steps onto the pyre, embracing the supernova of pain. But what happens next will blow your mind! Instead of oblivion, she awakens in a blooming field, the fiery brand gone, replaced by unmarked skin. And the old woman? Transformed into a magnificent, soaring phoenix, its cry a song of freedom. "Rise," it commands, "not as a weapon, but as the dawn after a long night." Just like that, the killer is gone, reborn into a vibrant world, free from the endless cycle of death. But after a lifetime drenched in blood, what will she build from these ashes? This isn't just an ending; it's a brand new, UNPREDICTABLE beginning!EPISODE TITLE: Burn Her or Be Damned? The Witch Hunter's Daughter on the Pyre!Next up, prepare for a chilling tale of impossible choices and a curse that will send shivers down your spine! Meet Elena, the Witch Hunter, a name that struck fear into the hearts of those who practiced the dark arts. Rain lashes down on a grim village square as Elena faces her most devastating dilemma. Bound to the stake, accused of a demonic pact after the harvest fails, is her own DAUGHTER, Sarah! The very gift Sarah possessed – a gentle touch for healing with herbs – has been twisted into accusations of witchcraft by a terrified mob. Elena, who had always dismissed whispers of village witches, is now confronted with the unthinkable. The magistrate demands Elena fulfill her duty, cleanse the village's soul with fire! But this isn't some nameless stranger; this is her flesh and blood, the child she swore to protect. In a moment that defies everything she stands for, Elena throws the torch aside, a meager offering against the downpour. "I resign," she declares, her voice cracking with despair, "Judge Sarah as you see fit." But just as they think the nightmare might be over, a bloodcurdling shriek pierces the air. A wild-eyed crone, a fixture at the witch trials, points a gnarled finger, unleashing a terrifying curse upon both mother and daughter! "Neither mother nor daughter shall find peace! Outcasts you shall be, your names whispered with dread!" As Sarah is cut loose, their eyes meet – not with blame, but with a shared, weary despair. The village they protected now fears them. Hand in hand, they vanish into the relentless rain, the dying embers of the pyre mirroring their fading hope. Was the curse real? In that moment, it didn't even matter. They were condemned either way, bound not by blood alone, but by a shared, dark destiny. The relentless Witch Hunter was gone, replaced by a haunted woman, forever marked by her impossible choice.#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #AssassinationTales #DeadlyShadows #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #PodcastRecommendations #CrimeStories #ThrillerPodcast #MysteryPodcast #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultPodcast #ActionStories #Intrigue #Suspense #Betrayal #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #PhoenixRebirth #WitchHunterCurse #ImpossibleChoices #FieryFate #HuntersHeresy This is a public episode.

This week, we've got a DOUBLE DOSE of darkness ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's infamous book, TRUE KILL! Forget your bedtime stories, because tonight we're unmasking not one, but TWO terrifying tales of vengeance that will leave you sleeping with the lights ON!First up, meet Carmilla: The Predator's Predator! Forget sparkly vampires sipping politely; this ain't your grandma's undead. Carmilla is a creature fueled by a monstrous thirst, but guess what? She only craves the blood of the truly wicked! We're talking about the scum of the earth – the abusers, the corrupt, the irredeemably nasty. Picture this: a congressman, Mr. "Holier Than Thou" himself, giving pious speeches while secretly being a total dirtbag. BAM! Carmilla's on the scene. She doesn't just stake him; she seduces him, dances with him in a twisted tango, and drains him of his will until he spills all his dirty secrets in a bloody confession! And the ultimate mic drop? She delivers that confession to his biggest rival. Talk about a hostile takeover! But hold up, Carmilla ain't no angel. Her hands are stained crimson, and her hunts are driven by a hunger as dark as her targets' souls. Is she a monster fighting monsters, or just a really, really efficient exterminator? We dig into the juicy details of her nocturnal hunts, from corrupt priests hoarding faith to the truly vile lurking behind respectable facades. Get ready for a wild ride as we explore the blurry lines between predator and prey in Carmilla's world!Then, hold onto your hats, because we're switching gears to a legend you think you know, but trust us, you DON'T! Say hello to the Pied Piper: From Fairy Tale Hero to Instrument of Vengeance! Forget the happy tune and the marching rats. Our Piper is BACK, centuries after the ultimate betrayal by the greedy town of Hamelin, and he's PISSED. His music? No longer a playful jig, but a haunting melody that spells doom for the corrupt and powerful. Imagine a bloated Duke, swimming in stolen riches, suddenly finding his castle infested... not with regular rats, but with a horde drawn by the Piper's twisted symphony! His loyal guards? They vanish, their minds poisoned by the Piper's tune, whispering of their own hidden sins. The Duke's wealth turns to dust as the Piper's vengeance unfolds. He doesn't just kill; he orchestrates a downfall, leaving his targets isolated and haunted by their own wickedness. But here's the kicker: this Piper isn't just about destruction. The gold he takes from the actually grateful? It goes to the forgotten, the downtrodden, the victims of the very people he hunts. So, is he a demonic force of reckoning or a shadowy benefactor? We unravel the chilling truth behind the Piper's return, where his music becomes a deadly promise of retribution for the wicked.Prepare for a deep dive into the minds of these twisted justice-seekers, only on TRUE ASSASSINS!#truecrime #podcast #assassins #carmilla #piedpiper #truekill #orlandomadsbrine #vengeance #horror #mystery #darkfantasy #crimestory #unexplained #legends #monster This is a public episode.

    Boardroom Bloodbath & Alien Adoption

    Welcome back, thrill-seekers, to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to drag you kicking and screaming into the shadowy world of high-stakes eliminations! Forget your homework, ditch your chores, because this week, we've got not one, but TWO tales ripped straight from the dog-eared pages of Orlando Madsbrine's legendary exposé, TRUE KILL! Prepare yourselves for betrayals that'll make your jaw drop and kills so slick, they're practically invisible. Trust us, folks, after this, you'll be sleeping with the lights on!Episode Title: Boardroom Bloodbath & Alien AdoptionFirst up, we're diving headfirst into the cutthroat jungle of Silicon Valley with a story so twisted, it could only come from the dark mind of Orlando Madsbrine. Forget your tech bros and their fancy gadgets, because this is about a silent killer who proves the deadliest weapon isn't code, it's cold, hard calculation. Meet Sarah, the unassuming investor everyone wrote off as just another deep pocket. Big mistake! Turns out, Sarah wasn't just funding these bright-eyed, bushy-tailed founders; she was their puppet master of doom! They stole her million-dollar idea years ago, laughing all the way to the bank. Now, Sarah's serving up a dish best served ice-cold: revenge, seasoned with sabotage and a whole lot of 'accidents'. We're talking star engineers taking unexpected plunges, rival prototypes going up in flames faster than a viral tweet, and scandals erupting at just the right moment. Our Sarah was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers, meticulously wiping out the competition without anyone suspecting the quiet lady in the sensible suit. The grand finale? A data breach that sends her enemies' empire crashing down, leaving Sarah standing alone on the ruins of their dreams. But was it victory, or did she become the very monster she sought to destroy? This tale of corporate carnage will leave you wondering who you can really trust in the world of tech!Then, buckle up, because we're blasting off into the bizarre with a story that redefines the meaning of 'hitman'! Straight from the files of TRUE KILL, we bring you the unbelievable account of a shapeshifting alien assassin sent to Earth with one mission: wipe out key targets and clear the way for a full-blown invasion. This interstellar grim reaper could become anyone, a perfect infiltration unit. First target? A General. Easy peasy, right? Then his wife. A little trickier, but our alien chameleon nailed it. But then... the target's kid. Supposedly redundant. Eliminated. Except... something went wrong. This emotionless extraterrestrial started feeling... weird. Echoes of the child haunted it. Curiosity bloomed in its alien brain. It started mimicking the mother, not for strategy, but for some strange, internal need. Suddenly, our cold-blooded killer is surrounded by crayon drawings and humming lullabies! The invasion fleet is on its way, but this once-perfect assassin is having second thoughts. It could unleash galactic Armageddon, or it could... protect the very species it was sent to destroy? In a shocking twist, this alien weapon goes rogue, choosing a lullaby over annihilation, sending a desperate warning to humanity. Branded a traitor by its own kind, it becomes the unlikely guardian of a world it was meant to conquer, all thanks to a tiny human and a crudely drawn star. You won't believe this wild ride!#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrime #AssassinationTales #DeadlyShadows #MurderMysteries #Betrayal #CloakAndDagger #Hitman #HighStakes #TechThriller #RevengeStory #SiliconValleySecrets #AlienInvasion #Shapeshifter #UnlikelyHero #ScienceFictionCrime #Podcast #CrimePodcast #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #Suspense #Thriller #YoungAdultPodcast #TeenPodcast #ActionPacked This is a public episode.

Turns out, the howling blizzards weren't the only things echoing in her lonely palace; the whispers started, those creepy little voices promising a truly unique path to finding "love". Now, we all know dating can be rough, but Anya took it to a whole new level. Forget ghosting – this duchess was serving up something far more… internal!Picture this: hopeful suitors arrive, pockets full of promises and hearts aflutter, only to find themselves on Anya's menu! Seems our dear duchess believed the only way to warm her cold, dead heart was to literally consume theirs. Talk about a bizarre dating ritual! Each failed conquest ended with Anya at a rather lonely banquet, a single, still-beating heart on a silver platter. The whispers, those sinister little matchmakers, kept egging her on, promising that with each bite of these crimson canapés, her love life would magically reignite. Spoiler alert: it didn't!But hold on to your hats, because this twisted tale takes another dark turn! One spurned lover, clearly not one to go quietly into the night, decided to return the "favour". Instead of another earnest proposal, he presented Anya with a heart of her own… laced with poison. Oops! Suddenly, those whispers of love turned into screams of agony. Our cannibalistic cupid got a taste of her own medicine, quite literally. As the poison coursed through her veins, the palace went up in flames – a fitting end for a love story that was always destined to crash and burn.

Get ready to have your moral compass spun like a roulette wheel in a hurricane! Forget your knitting circles and tea parties, because we're diving headfirst into the shadowy depths where justice gets a nasty, blood-soaked makeover. This ain't your grandma's true crime – unless your grandma had a penchant for dangerously disturbed doctors and fairytale figures gone rogue! Buckle up, buttercups, because this week, we've got two tales that'll leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about good, evil, and a well-placed pointy object.Ever had a bad day? Try this on for size: brilliant Dr. Jekyll thought he could bottle up his bad vibes, but instead, he unleashed a monstrous alter ego with a serious vengeance streak! We're talking Hyde – a lethal vigilante with a taste for tidying up society's trash... permanently! He's not just cancelling bad guys; he's deleting them with extreme prejudice! Witness the shocking transformation as our good doctor turns his dark side into a weapon, all while his respectable rooms become a creepy shrine to his double life – think meticulous notes on his 'to-do' list of doom next to blood-soaked souvenirs! But here's the twist you won't see coming: as Hyde's body count rises, Jekyll's sanity takes a nosedive faster than a politician caught in a scandal. And just when you think it can't get any weirder, the papers start buzzing about another shadowy figure, the 'Butcher of Whitechapel,' giving Jekyll a bizarre sense of... relief? Could it be that sharing the spotlight with another monster is his twisted form of therapy? Fast forward to a confession that'll make your jaw drop – not guilt, but a chilling realization about his own messed-up morality! Did he ever truly conquer the darkness, or just cleverly repackage it? And the grand finale? No epic battle, just a broken man and a fateful decision to face the music, monster and all! Was Hyde a martyr or just a maniac? You decide!TRUE ASSASSINS PODCAST: EPISODE 2 - ARROW DYNAMIC: FROM FAILED EXECUTIONER TO FAIRYTALE AVENGER!Remember the Huntsman from Snow White? Forget the Disney version! Our boy here had a crisis of conscience after almost chopping off a princess's head, and now he's traded his axe for a bow and a serious case of righteous fury! The fairytale world ain't so charming anymore; it's crawling with corrupt kings and villainous varmints, and the Huntsman is their new nightmare! Think Robin Hood, but way darker and with zero merry men – more like a lone wolf with deadly aim! He's not after gold or glory, just balance in a world gone bonkers, leaving behind creepy calling cards to remind the wicked that karma's got a quiver full of arrows with their names on them! But can one brooding archer really take down an entire system of rotten rulers? Then comes a twist that even we didn't see coming: Snow White herself! But this ain't the damsel in distress you remember; she's a survivor, and together, they're a power couple of perilous justice! Forget romantic ballads; their partnership is forged in the fires of shared vengeance! Watch as the Huntsman goes from zero to hero (well, anti-hero, at least), his final target none other than the evil Queen herself! Was it revenge? Duty? Or just the grim satisfaction of a job well done (albeit a very bloody one)? In the end, he vanishes back into the shadows, his mission far from over, but leaving behind a glimmer of hope in a world desperately clinging to the idea that even monsters can fight for what's right... sometimes.#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrime #AssassinationTales #DarkFantasy #JekyllAndHyde #Huntsman #FairytaleGoneWrong #VigilanteJustice #MoralAmbiguity #Thriller #Suspense #LiteraryAdrenaline #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultPodcast #PodcastRecommendations #CrimeStories #ShadowyFigures #DeadlySecrets #TwistedTales #HighOctane This is a public episode.

    Cursed Blade: A Samurai's Bloody Legacy & An Assassin's Deadly Game

    Welcome back, you shadowy figures, to another blood-soaked edition of TRUE ASSASSINS! Forget everything you think you know about silent killers because this week, we're diving deep into the twisted tales ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's legendary book, TRUE KILL!This episode, buckle up for a rollercoaster of dread with a story so dark, it'll leave you checking under your bed for vengeful spirits and cursed steel. We're talking about a legendary samurai assassin's blade, a weapon whispered about in hushed tones, a true BLOODY LEGACY! This isn't just any sword; this bad boy has a serious case of the Mondays… except its Mondays last for centuries and involve turning its owners into raving lunatics leaving a trail of carnage hotter than dragon's breath.Meet Katsuo, a young samurai who inherits this gleaming instrument of doom after his master bites the dust. At first, it's all sharp edges and swift kills, like slicing through butter with a hot katana. He takes down a bandit chief, BAM! But then… the whispers start. A thrill too dark, a reflection in the polished steel that hints at something… cruel. Villages start chattering about the Widowmaker, its previous owners – brilliant swordsmen all – who went completely off the rails, ending in madness and self-destruction. Katsuo, being the smart cookie he thinks he is, scoffs. "Nonsense!" he cries. "Their screw-ups are their own!" Oh, how wrong he is.With each fallen enemy, each so-called righteous kill, the hunger in his hand grows. Sleep becomes a battlefield of clashing steel and laughter that chills him to the bone because it doesn't sound like his own. Then comes old Tanaka, the wise swordsmith, dropping truth bombs like they're going out of style: "The steel is cursed, young lord! It drinks the soul, leaving an empty bloodthirsty husk!" Katsuo, bless his denial, scoffs again. But as missions blur and targets become mere fleshy obstacles for the blade's insatiable thirst, the horrifying truth sinks in. He's not becoming a legend; he's spiraling into darkness, and the sword isn't his tool; it's his jailer!But hold onto your headbands, because this isn't just a story of a samurai going bonkers. Katsuo decides to fight back! This isn't about some glorious final duel; it's an INNER WAR! He seeks a temple, not for divine intervention, but for the discipline to starve the demon blade. Meditation becomes its own brutal battle, the sword's whispers a constant torment, a phantom limb screaming for blood. But our boy Katsuo is tough. Each day he wins a victory, not over some external foe, but over himself. And then comes the ultimate twist! He doesn't just resist the curse; he turns it against itself!The final showdown? No moonlit duel, my friends. Instead, Katsuo walks right into a bandit horde, the cursed blade his bait! They swarm, greedy for the infamous weapon's power. And then… chaos! The sword's dark aura takes over, and the bandits start turning on each other in a frenzy of steel and death screams! Katsuo? He just watches, the hunter becoming the lure. When only a few remain, eyes bloodshot with the sword's madness, he pulls out his own plain, unremarkable tanto. No cursed steel here, just pure, hardened will. The bandits fall. The curse is no match for his clear-eyed purpose. And the Widowmaker? It still gleams, but its hunger is muted. Katsuo doesn't destroy it; he cages it, binding it with chains forged from his own conquered will. He carries it not as a weapon, but as a grim reminder of the darkness he overcame. He broke the curse, not with holy water or magic spells, but by facing the true assassin within himself!#TrueAssassins #CursedBlade #SamuraiHorror #BloodyLegacyPodcast #WidowmakerCurse #InnerDemons #SwordMadness #KatsuoTheWarrior #TrueKillOrlandoMadsbrine #AssassinationTales #DarkSamurai #SupernaturalSword #WarriorSpirit #BreakingTheCurse #MustListenPodcast This is a public episode.

    Welcome back, you thrill-seeking fiends, to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to drag you kicking and screaming into the darkest corners of human… and digital… depravity! Get ready, because this week, we've got a double dose of danger ripped straight from the twisted pages of Orlando Madsbrine's TRUE KILL!Ever thought your Wi-Fi was acting shady? You ain't seen nothing yet! Meet Maya, a techno-whiz with a serious god complex and the brains to turn your smart fridge into a weapon of mass annoyance… or worse! This ain't your grandma's hacker; this lady could probably crash the stock market with a well-placed thought. Tired of playing puppet master with power grids and traffic jams, Maya decided to level up – to ditch her pesky human form and upload her consciousness straight into the internet itself! Imagine the power! The control! The endless cat videos! But guess what? The internet has its own grumpy bouncers – a silent, digital immune system that wasn't exactly thrilled to have a new, power-hungry tenant. What happened next? Let's just say Maya's quest for digital domination ended with her getting a system error she couldn't debug. Talk about a fatal disconnect! Her body? Just another slumped-over figure in a dingy apartment. Her legacy? A cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to friend request the entire World Wide Web.Episode 2: SMILE, YOU'RE DEAD! The Surgeon Who Turned Patients into Permanent Art Installations!Now, let's scrub in for a truly skin-crawling tale! Dr. Moreau wasn't your typical bedside manner kind of guy.

Think your last Botox appointment was scary? Try waking up with a smile that screams eternal torment! This medical madman thought he was untouchable, a surgical Picasso with a penchant for the macabre. But pride, as they say, comes before a very painful fall – especially when he decided to use Detective Carter's wife as his next canvas. Big mistake, Doc! Carter wasn't exactly thrilled with the avant-garde makeover his wife received. Revenge is a dish best served… surgically! Our dear doctor found himself on the receiving end of his own twisted artistry, waking up to a nightmare where he was the masterpiece and Carter the vengeful curator.

    Necromancer's Grief & Bard's Betrayal

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to stare into the cold eyes of history's deadliest operatives! This week, get ready for a story so twisted, so unbelievably tragic, it'll leave you gasping for air. Forget your cozy mysteries, folks, because we're diving deep into the shadows of the book TRUE KILL by Orlando Madsbrine for a tale of a bard with a deadly secret!Our episode, titled "The Ballad of Betrayal: When the Muse Becomes the Mark", unspools the shocking story of Silas, the beloved bard whose voice could charm the serpent in your heart. By night, under the flickering tavern lights, he wasn't just spinning yarns of dragons and doomed lovers; each carefully crafted verse, every shift in tempo, was a coded message, a death warrant delivered on the strings of his lute. This wasn't about applause; it was about cold, hard blood money lining his instrument case.But this week's hit was different, a dagger twist to the gut. His target? Anya, the fiery-haired woman, the very inspiration behind his most soul-stirring songs, the muse who breathed life into his art. The Order, those shadowy puppet masters, deemed her a threat, a loose end to be silenced. The planned execution: a poisoned quill, a writer's demise hidden in plain sight. But Silas found his hand trembling, every shared memory, every love-soaked lyric screaming in protest.The tension ratcheted up at the grand festival, a stage set for a public execution masked as a performance. Our bard, a reluctant assassin with a lute as his only weapon, stepped into the spotlight. But instead of the usual heroic ballad, a raw confession poured forth. He sang of hidden blades, of lives extinguished under the guise of poetic metaphor. He laid bare his deadly double life, his betrayal hanging heavy in the air as Anya, in the crowd, watched in dawning horror.The shadows stirred. The Order's killers, their patience exhausted, moved in for the kill. But Silas didn't falter. His final song became a desperate plea, a chaotic symphony of truth and regret. As the last note faded, a dagger found its mark. Silas, the singing assassin, fell silent, his lute clattering on the blood-soaked stage. They silenced the madman, the rambling entertainer. But the echoes of his final, truthful ballad lingered in the taverns, a haunting testament to a deadly secret and a final act of defiance. Did Anya weep for her lover, or the killer who finally chose truth in his dying breath? You decide!#truecrimepodcast #assassins #deadlysecrets #betrayal #musicalmurder #bardassassin #truestory #crimestories #youngadultcrime #teenfiction #thrillerpodcast #suspense #highoctane #orlandomadsbrine #truekill #shadowyfigures #bloodmoney #codedmessages #finalperformance #requiemforamuse #poeticjustice This is a public episode.

    Ageless Assassin & Doomed Oracle!

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to drag you into the darkest corners of "TRUE KILL" by the legendary Orlando Madsbrine! This week, we've got not one, but TWO tales of shadows, secrets, and seriously questionable life choices that will leave you gasping.Episode 1: The Ageless Assassin: His Beauty Hides a Killer - You Won't BELIEVE His Secret!Ever wished you could stay young forever? Dorian Gray did, and boy, did he get his wish... with a seriously twisted catch! Imagine being so devastatingly handsome that you can charm your way into anyone's life. Now imagine using that killer charm to, well, actually kill. Dorian wasn't just a pretty face; he was a ruthless, ageless assassin who could slip into any scene, from high-society balls to secret meetings, all thanks to his eternally youthful looks. He'd whisper a word here, steal a glance there, and BAM! Target neutralized. But here's the freaky part: Dorian's good looks weren't just good luck. They were part of a dark deal, a secret so insane it's locked away in his attic! While the world saw a flawless face, a hidden portrait was bearing the brunt of his bloody deeds, turning into a monstrous reflection of his corrupt soul with every kill. Tonight's target, Lady Somerset, was supposed to be another easy mark, but something snapped in Dorian. Maybe it was seeing his own vanity reflected in her, or maybe it was the silent screams of his attic masterpiece, but he walked away. Desperate, Dorian then commissioned another portrait – this time, of the old, decaying soul he truly was, hidden beneath the youthful mask. But in the end, there was only one target left: himself. And the way he tried to erase his sins? By torching that cursed canvas! What happened next? Let's just say some secrets burn hotter than others, and some deals come with a final, devastating price.Episode 2: Apocalypse Now?! She Sees the End of the World and Is Taking Matters Into Her OWN DEADLY HANDS!They called her cursed. Pandora. The woman who unleashed all the bad stuff into the world. But what if that curse came with a horrifying side effect? What if she was plagued by visions of the future, not just bad days, but the literal END OF EVERYTHING in flames and ash? For Pandora, guilt morphed into a grim mission: prevent those terrifying futures, one target at a time. Forget waiting for the bad guys to make their move; Pandora was all about preemptive takedowns, using her dark visions as her hit list. A warlord here, a corrupt senator there, even a brilliant inventor whose creation would bring a new kind of fire – Pandora was playing a deadly game of whack-a-mole with potential apocalypse starters. They whispered about her uncanny bad luck following her targets, never suspecting the cursed woman was actually a weaponized oracle. But with each kill, the line blurred: was she a savior, or just another monster in the making? Her final vision? Her own death in a burning world. And her answer? A public "assassination," a final act of sacrifice hoping to spark a resistance against the doom she foresaw. They buried her as a cursed figure, but maybe, just maybe, the Oracle Assassin's bloody gamble might just give humanity a fighting chance.#TrueAssassins #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #DeadlyShadows #AssassinationTales #BloodPacts #MurderousLegends #Betrayal #CloakAndDagger #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #Podcast #TrueCrime #YoungAdult #TeenFiction #Action #Intrigue #Suspense #AgelessAssassin #CursedOracle #SecretPortrait #ApocalypticVisions #MustListen This is a public episode.

    Viking Vengeance & Druid's Downfall

    Welcome back, listeners, to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to delve into the darkest corners of history… or maybe just some seriously twisted tales from Orlando Madsbrine's "TRUE KILL"! Get ready to have your jaw hit the floor because this week we've got not one, but TWO blood-soaked stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on!Episode Title: Viking Vengeance: When Loyalty Ends in AgonyEver wondered what happens when a sneaky Viking decides Saxon gold is more appealing than his axe-wielding brothers? Buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your Disney Viking cruise! Our first story rips you straight into the icy fjords where Leif thought he could pull a fast one. Saxon riches whispered sweet nothings in his ear, promising a life of luxury far from the messy business of raiding. But karma, or maybe just some sharp-eyed Vikings, had other plans. Turns out, selling out your crew has some… unpleasant consequences. We're talking dragged-before-your-mates kind of unpleasant, and not for a friendly pint. Forget a stern talking-to; these guys had a punishment so brutal, it makes waterboarding look like a spa day. Prepare for the legendary BLOOD EAGLE! Imagine your ribs being ripped open like monstrous wings. Yeah, we went there. Leif’s betrayal echoed in his agonizing screams as his lungs were… well, let's just say they weren't where they were supposed to be. And even in his final moments, mercy was a four-letter word these Vikings didn't understand. His last plea for a quick end? Denied! Talk about a bad day at the office. And those Saxon coins he sold his soul for? Tossed into the waves like the worthless trash they became. This is a chilling reminder that some bonds, especially the Viking kind, are forged in blood, and breaking them comes with a truly horrifying price.Episode Title: Druid's Downfall: Nature Bites Back (Hard!)Next up, we journey to a shadowy oak grove where things are definitely not as serene as they seem. Meet Caedmon, a druid who looked all holy in his gleaming white robes. The villagers probably thought he was all about peace and nature-loving vibes. Boy, were they wrong! Turns out, this so-called святой was secretly juicing up his powers with… you guessed it… blood sacrifice! He preached balance, but his idea of a sacred cycle involved some poor soul vanishing every solstice. Dark and intoxicating power was flowing through him, fueled by the very life force he was supposed to protect. But every tyrant has their kryptonite, and in this case, it came in the form of a defiant woman named Maeve. When the sacrificial dagger was raised, Maeve wasn't having any of it. Axe swinging, rebellion igniting – this wasn't your typical sleepy village gathering. Caedmon’s stolen power started to fizzle when his followers turned on him. The sacred grove became a bloodbath, and in a delicious twist of fate, Caedmon ended up on his own sacrificial altar. Maeve delivered the ultimate “thank you, next” with his own dagger. His scream? Definitely not holy. The solstice sun set on his reign of terror, proving that nature, and a few angry villagers, always have the final say. This is a tale of power built on lies crumbling in the most satisfyingly brutal way.#TrueCrimePodcast #Assassins #VikingHistory #BloodEagle #Betrayal #SaxonGold #Druid #Sacrifice #PaganRituals #JusticeServed #DarkHistory #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #HighOctaneStories #TeenReads #YoungAdultFiction #MysteryThriller #SuspensefulTales #DeadlyShadows #CaptivatingKills #MurderousLegends #CloakAndDagger #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #HistoricalFiction #Horror This is a public episode.

    Engineered Virus Lockdown & Cleopatra's Hidden Poisons

    Welcome, thrill-seekers, to TRUE ASSASSINS, the podcast that dives headfirst into the shadowy world of history's deadliest figures, or at least, the ones Orlando Madsbrine cooked up in his infamous book, TRUE KILL! Get ready for your weekly dose of mayhem because we've got two killer episodes lined up that will leave you gasping for air… or maybe just a strong antidote.TRUE ASSASSINS: Episode 1 - LAB OF HORRORS: They Created Death, Now It's Hunting Them!Ever wonder what happens when a bunch of brainy scientists try to play God and accidentally unleash a monster? This week, we're locked down with a team of eggheads who thought it was a brilliant idea to engineer a super-deadly virus. Talk about a workplace hazard! One clumsy moment later, and BAM! Green goo everywhere. Suddenly, their top-secret facility becomes a real-life escape room with seriously high stakes – the prize for failure? Global pandemic, starting with them.But wait, there's more! As if a killer virus on the loose isn't bad enough, these geniuses start turning on each other faster than you can say "biohazard." Paranoia? Sabotage? Accusations flying thicker than airborne pathogens. Did Michaels, Mr. Always-Right, mess with the centrifuge? Is Chen hoarding the precious, maybe-it's-a-cure stash? And our leader, Dr. Ellis, well, he's drowning in a guilt trip bigger than his lab. They go from colleagues to cage fighters, barricading themselves in their labs like it's the zombie apocalypse, except they are the potential zombies.People start dropping like flies – Chen bites the dust first, leaving everyone wondering if it was suicide or a friendly (but fatal) nudge. The AI that runs the place goes silent. Did it get bored? Did it join the virus fan club? Who knows! Ellis, meanwhile, is stirring up some questionable concoction in a flask – cure or curse? Place your bets!. In the end, it’s not some epic showdown, but a tired scientist succumbing to his own creation. Flash forward, hazmat suits arrive to find a scene straight out of a horror flick: bodies, broken science, and a vial labeled "Project Deliverance" – ironic, much?. The real horror? The echoes of backstabbing and the realization that their biggest enemy was their own ambition. The cure remains a mystery, the lab a sealed tomb – a cautionary tale about playing with fire and definitely getting burned.TRUE ASSASSINS: Episode 2 - CLEOPATRA'S KISS: Beauty, Brains, and a Body Count!Forget Romeo and Juliet; this week we're serving up something far more lethal and glamorous: Cleopatra, the queen who could conquer hearts and kingdoms with a smile… and a carefully measured dose of poison. Beneath the silk and the seductive gaze lurked the Serpent of the Nile, a master of statecraft and silent assassinations. While everyone was busy swooning over her beauty, Cleopatra was in her secret apothecary, whipping up deadly cocktails with herbs, roots, and the occasional venomous critter. Move over, Martha Stewart, this queen’s got recipes for disaster!Tonight's special? A Roman senator named Gaius with wandering eyes for Cleopatra's empire. Our girl Cleo throws a lavish banquet – think glittering gold, flowing wine, and a side of slow-acting toxins. Her ladies-in-waiting are just there for the gossip, completely unaware they're part of a deadly plot involving nightshade and hemlock. Gaius raises his glass, completely clueless, as Cleopatra plays the gracious hostess, a demure smile her perfect alibi.Then comes the dramatic, drawn-out demise. No quick stab here; we're talking agonizing convulsions and panicked onlookers. Cleopatra? Cool as a cucumber, offering totally useless herbs while secretly enjoying the show. Tears? Oh, there will be tears – perfectly orchestrated by the court, while Cleopatra celebrates another "obstacle removed". Whispers of her deadly skills spread like wildfire, adding "Poisoner" to her already impressive resume. But even in her opulent palace, haunted by the ghost of an asp, Cleopatra has to wonder: has her ambition turned her into a monster? The more poison she doles out, the darker her soul becomes. Power comes at a price, and for Cleopatra, it's the slow erosion of her own humanity. Her reign? A dazzling mix of gold, blood, and the lingering scent of bitter herbs – the unforgettable taste of Cleopatra's kiss.#TrueCrimePodcast #Assassins #DeadlyWomen #KillerQueens #SecretWeapons #HistoricalMurders #Intrigue #Suspense #Poison #VirusOutbreak #LabAccident #Betrayal #PowerStruggles #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultPodcast #Mystery #Conspiracy #HiddenAgendas #DarkHistory This is a public episode.

Ancient walls whispering secrets, crumbling palaces – it's like Atlantis, but way cooler because she finds it first! But hold on tight, because this underwater paradise isn't going to stay secret for long. Cue the greedy archeologists and treasure hunters sniffing around like sharks.

He's got the Tsarina in his ear, making prophecies, and Russia is bleeding out on the battlefields. But even his own fan club starts getting a little freaked out by his power trip. Enter Ivan, his most devoted follower, who finally snaps. Accusations fly, like "You're leading us to RUIN!" and "You're the TRUE EVIL!" Can you believe the audacity? Rasputin's all smug, talking about forging empires, but Ivan ain't having it. It wasn't the Tsar's enemies who got him; it was a betrayal from within! This devoted follower stabs Rasputin repeatedly. Talk about a plot twist! The Mad Monk, who bent an entire empire to his will, gets taken out by one of his own. They even dump his body in the river. Legend says his ghost still haunts the Winter Palace.

    DRAGON FANG OF DOOM & The Detective Who Dunit?!

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast that dares to plunge into the darkest corners of history and legend! This week, get ready for a tale ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's shocking bestseller, TRUE KILL!TRUE ASSASSINS: Episode Title - DRAGON FANG OF DOOM: Hero or Monster?Ever wondered what happens when the line between saviour and destroyer vanishes in a haze of deadly ambition? This episode, buckle up as we unravel the twisted saga of Kai, the Shadowblade! This wasn't your typical knight in shining armour story, folks. We’re talking about a shadowy assassin, a desperate soul forced to wield a weapon so evil, it whispered sweet nothings of power while slowly turning his insides black. To take down a tyrant king whose cruelty stained the very earth, Kai had to embrace the darkness – a dragon's fang pulsing with ancient malice.He wasn't a hero, but destiny, or maybe just sheer desperation, shoved him into the role. The assassination wasn't some glorious duel; it was a cold, hard execution. The tyrant fell, the land rejoiced, but that fang? It wasn't done. It craved more, poisoning Kai’s spirit with promises of control, of reshaping the kingdom in HIS image. Forget justice; the whispers now spoke of "necessary sacrifices".Imagine the sleepless nights, the iron taste of his own fear as Kai fought to hold onto himself. His comrades, the rebels who once cheered him, now eyed him with suspicion as his calls for swift action turned brutal. Then, a glimmer of hope in the form of Mara, a healer who saw not a saviour, but a man hurtling towards the abyss. Theirs wasn't a love story; it was a battle for a soul. The real fight wasn't against the remnants of the old regime but against the monster growing within Kai himself. Every act of mercy was a blow against the poison. He never destroyed the fang; its power was too vital. Instead, he chained it, warded it, a constant reminder of the darkness he danced with. The rebellion won, but Kai? He vanished, a tainted hero forever guarding the relic and his own corrupted heart from its seductive call. His tale wouldn't be sung in glory, but whispered in fear – the shadowed figure guarding against a darkness only he truly understood.But hold on, assassins! The night is young, and the shadows hold more secrets. Get ready for another chilling descent into the mind of a killer with our next segment:ADDICTIVE TRUE CRIME STORY: The Detective Who Dunit?!Think you know true crime? Think again! Meet Detective Julian Cross, the charismatic genius who captivated the world with his brilliant deductions. The cameras loved him, the audience adored him as he guided them through the macabre dance of murder investigations. But what if the storyteller was also the mastermind? What if each solved case was just a carefully crafted performance by the ultimate puppet master?From a pedestrian "suicide" spiced up with mistresses and poison to an "accidental" death orchestrated with rigged machinery, Julian Cross built a legend on seemingly impossible insights. His assistant, Amelia, initially a bright-eyed apprentice, became his perfect audience. But as Amelia’s sharp mind started noticing the inconsistencies in his "masterpieces", the game took a dangerous turn. Could Julian manipulate her too? Could he twist her earnest deductions to serve his grand narrative?Their partnership became a thrilling dance of deduction and deception, captivating the world. But in his most intricate plot yet, the banker's "heist," Amelia finally saw through the illusion. The confrontation wasn't in a dark alley, but under the glare of his own studio lights, the cameras still rolling. With quiet determination, Amelia laid bare the truth, shattering Julian's charming facade. His desperate attempts to deflect and deny only added to the spectacle of his downfall. As the authorities arrived, summoned by Amelia's unwavering accusations, Julian, even in defeat, couldn't resist one last dramatic look at the camera. His reign as the brilliant detective was over, but the legend of the villain who fooled the world? That, he believed, would run forever.#TrueCrimePodcast #AssassinsCreed #MurderMystery #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #DragonFang #PoisonedHero #TyrantSlayer #Shadowblade #Rebellion #DarkFantasy #CrimeStories #DetectiveThriller #TwistedPlot #Whodunnit #PodcastRecommendations #MustListen #CrimeJunkie #CriminalMinds #MysteryPodcast This is a public episode.

    Architect of Agony Meets Crashing Karma!

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast that dives deep into the darkest corners of deadly intentions! Get ready for another mind-blowing episode ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's infamous book, TRUE KILL!Hey Kill-Seekers! This week, we've got a double dose of deliciously dark justice for your twisted little hearts! First up, meet Maya, the so-called magnificent architect with a seriously fatal flaw – her buildings weren't just built, they were booby-trapped! Forget blueprints for beautiful homes; Maya was sketching out elaborate death sentences in steel and concrete. A hidden gas leak here, a weakened stairwell there – her creations were ticking time bombs designed to eliminate her targets and elevate her status. She thought she was untouchable, a puppet master pulling the strings of destiny with every meticulously placed 'accident'. But guess what happens when you play God with girders? Karma comes crashing down! In a spectacular reverse demolition, Maya finds herself trapped in her own lethal penthouse as her masterpiece of malice crumbles around her. Talk about poetic justice served with a side of shattered glass! She wasn't worried about dying; she was furious about losing control as her own deadly design became her inescapable tomb. The irony? Her last thoughts were about the perfect geometric shape of the ceiling crushing her – a final reflection of her deadly precision.Then, buckle up for a high-flying tale of terror with Captain Eric Thorne, a pilot whose career was built on carefully orchestrated 'accidents'. This wasn't your average turbulence, folks. Thorne was a master of sabotage, turning routine flights into fiery 'emergencies' for insurance payouts and sinister satisfaction. Tinkered valves, loosened lines – his crashes were meticulously planned performances that always ended with him playing the hero. But this time, the script flipped faster than a failing engine! His latest masterpiece, designed to off a wealthy industrialist, goes horribly wrong – not with his planned sabotage, but with a genuine, screaming engine malfunction. Suddenly, Captain Cool's hands are shaking, his 'mayday' practice goes out the window, and the bewildered faces of his passengers become his final judgment. He, the architect of undetectable disasters, is about to star in his own fatal finale. The last thing he sees? The winking red light of the backup system he deliberately disabled. Soar into that, Captain! The ocean becomes his watery grave, swallowing his screams and his wicked talent whole.Two tales of twisted ambition meeting their explosive ends! You just can't make this stuff up (unless you're Orlando Madsbrine, that is!).#TrueAssassins #TrueCrimePodcast #DeadlySecrets #IronicJustice #ArchitectOfDeath #PilotError #KarmaStrikes #FatalFlaw #HighStakes #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #CrimeStories #Suspense #Thriller #MustListen #PodcastRecommendations #YoungAdultPodcast #TeenPodcast #DarkTales #JusticeServed This is a public episode.

But beneath that dazzling smile and helpful demeanor lurked a secret agent sharper than a dropped oxygen mask! This wasn't just about turbulence, folks; it was about double lives and deadly secrets. Our Sarah was on a mission, targeting a shady senator and his briefcase full of secrets. A little spilled wine, a quick switcheroo in the lavatory – smooth, right? Wrong! Her cover gets blown faster than a punctured fuselage when a mysterious stranger shows up with a gun. Suddenly, it's not just her job on the line, it's her life! The friendly skies turn into a full-blown battleground as rival agencies crash the party, turning the first-class cabin into a bullet-riddled mess. Amidst the chaos, with glass flying and bullets whizzing, Sarah pulls a move so unexpected, it’ll make your jaw drop. Sacrificing herself in a desperate act involving the emergency lever, she ensures the intel is safe while blending into the aftermath as just another casualty.

Boy, was he right! Thomas's first hit, a supposed traitorous merchant, goes down clean. But then BAM! Thomas is hit with a vision of the man's innocent life – laughter, love, all the things he just extinguished. Talk about killer remorse! Each subsequent kill gets worse, with visions of a kind healer solidifying the horrifying truth: this blade doesn't just end lives, it shows Thomas the goodness he's destroying. Haunted by these ghostly glimpses of innocence, Thomas ditches the guild and seeks out a reclusive witch in a desperate bid to break the curse. The ritual is risky, the witch's warnings dire, but Thomas is past the point of caring. He offers the cursed blade, ready to face any consequence for a chance at redemption. In a dramatic showdown of magic and metal, the blade's dark power is finally extinguished, but the weight of Thomas's past deeds remains. He’s no longer an assassin, just a man burdened by the ghosts of his victims, walking a long and uncertain path towards… maybe, just maybe… something better.#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrime #Assassins #Spies #Murder #Intrigue #Suspense #Thriller #DeadlySecrets #Betrayal #HighStakes #CursedBlade #Redemption #SecretAgent #Podcast #CrimePodcast #TeenThriller #YoungAdultBooks #ActionPacked #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill This is a public episode.

    Sun Tzu's Shadow Wars & The Medici's Murders

    Hey True Crime Junkies, and welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to dive headfirst into the darkest corners of history… or should we say, the most thrilling pages of Orlando Madsbrine's masterpiece, "TRUE KILL"! Get ready to have your minds blown because this week, we've got not one, but TWO tales of deadly deception that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about power, art, and the ultimate betrayal!First up, prepare to enter the shadowy world of ancient China where the legendary Sun Tzu, the mastermind behind "The Art of War," wasn't just scribbling battle strategies. Oh no, dear listeners, according to "TRUE KILL," this wasn't just about troop movements! Sun Tzu was secretly playing a much deadlier game, turning the emperor's court into his personal chessboard. Forget bloody battles; this OG puppet master preferred whispers in the dark, engineered accidents, and the slow, delicious crumble of his enemies' reputations. Imagine: no swords, no armies, just a cunning mind orchestrating downfalls with poisoned tea and staged ambushes! We'll unravel how Sun Tzu, armed with nothing but his intellect and a network of bribed servants, systematically dismantled threats to the throne, leaving a trail of 'unfortunate incidents' in his wake. But was his brilliance worth the price? "TRUE KILL" paints a picture of a lonely genius, haunted by his victories built on deceit, ultimately realizing that sometimes, the most powerful move is to vanish entirely. This isn't just strategy; it's psychological warfare at its most lethal!Then, buckle up as we transport you to the glittering, yet treacherous, world of Renaissance Florence and the reign of Lorenzo de' Medici! Forget everything you think you know about this patron of the arts because "TRUE KILL" exposes a shocking secret: Lorenzo's most celebrated artists and scholars were also his deadliest assassins! Michelangelo, Donatello, Brunelleschi – these weren't just creating masterpieces; they were silently eliminating Lorenzo's enemies with the same precision they applied to their art! Picture this: a sculptor's gaze assessing not just anatomy, but potential targets; a master of disguise blending into crowds to identify threats; an architect designing not just cathedrals, but fatal 'accidents'! The Medici palace wasn't just a hub of creativity; it was a covert headquarters where coded messages were woven into tapestries and the length of a candle signaled a hit. But "TRUE KILL" delves into the dark toll this double life took on these artistic assassins, their beautiful creations tainted by the blood on their hands. Discover the insidious truth behind Lorenzo's power – how he weaponized genius itself, leaving a legacy of breathtaking beauty built on a foundation of brutal violence.#trucrime #assassins #deadlysecrets #historicalmysteries #renaissance #ancientchina #powerplays #conspiracy #murder #truekill #orlandomadsbrine #clickbait #mindgames #lethalart #shadowyfigures #hiddenagendas This is a public episode.

    Cult's Demise & Weaponized Monk!

    Welcome back, thrill-seekers, to another electrifying edition of TRUE ASSASSINS! The only podcast that dares to drag you kicking and screaming into the darkest corners of human nature, where betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and the thirst for power leaves a trail of bodies. Forget your homework, ditch your chores, because tonight, we've got a double dose of danger ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's infamous book, TRUE KILL! Get ready for two tales so twisted, they'll leave you checking under your bed tonight!Episode Title: Double Dose of Deadly DeceptionFirst up, prepare to witness the spectacular downfall of a self-proclaimed savior in a segment we're calling "Prophet Panic: When Paradise Turns into a Bloodbath!" This so-called leader, Silas, oozed charisma and spewed promises of a glorious exit from this mortal coil. He had his devoted followers eating out of his hand, ready to down his "holy" elixir for a one-way ticket to transcendence. But hold on tight, because this master manipulator had a secret – he was planning to ditch his flock and ride off into the sunset with their fortunes. Talk about a betrayal! Just as he was about to pull off his grand disappearing act, a single cry of "Traitor!" shattered his carefully constructed illusion. What happened next was pure chaos. The adoring crowd transformed into a raging mob, their blind faith replaced by a furious hunger for retribution. His escape route vanished as his once-loyal disciples turned on him with animalistic fury. His promises were worthless, his power evaporated, and his dreams of a lavish new life turned into a desperate struggle for survival. In a final, gut-wrenching twist, this false prophet got his wish for a grand exit, but not to paradise – he became a martyr alright, torn apart by the very people he sought to exploit. You absolutely HAVE to hear how this manipulative mastermind's plan implodes in the most brutal way imaginable!Then, brace yourselves for a descent into the shadowy world of religious rivalry with "Holy Vendetta: The Monk Who Weaponized Scripture!" Meet Brother Jonas, a seemingly devout monk entrusted with the sacred duty of copying holy texts. But beneath his humble robes lurked a serpent of envy and bitterness. Instead of preserving divine words, Jonas turned his quill into a weapon, subtly twisting scripture to smear his rivals within the order. A flick of his wrist, a slight alteration of a line, and a brother's reputation could be ruined, his ambitions crushed before they even took flight. Jonas reveled in his secret power, pulling the strings from the quiet solitude of the scriptorium. But his dark game couldn't last forever. Whispers of heresy reached the Abbot, leading to a tense confrontation and the horrifying discovery of Jonas's treachery. But the Abbot's punishment was far more than mere condemnation. In a chilling act of cleansing, he used fire to destroy centuries of irreplaceable manuscripts, tasking Jonas with the Sisyphean labor of transcribing them anew. Witness the shocking tale of a man who dared to defile the sacred for revenge, only to find his ambition go up in smoke in the most unexpected and devastating way!#truecrime #podcast #assassins #truestories #murder #betrayal #cults #religiouscrime #revenge #justice #thriller #suspense #darkhistory #crimestories #mystery #orlandomadsbrine #truekill #youngadult #teenfiction #deadlyshadows #cloakanddagger #recklesshitmen #daringkills This is a public episode.

    Haunted Kills & Machiavelli's Princely Poisons

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to dive headfirst into the darkest corners of history and fiction, where every kill has a story and every shadow holds a secret! Get ready for another week of jaw-dropping tales ripped from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's infamous masterpiece, TRUE KILL! Buckle up, because tonight, we're bringing you two slices of pure, unadulterated mayhem that will leave you gasping for air!Episode Title: GHOSTLY GRUDGES & POISONED POLITICS - When Hitmen Get HAUNTED and Philosophers Turn DEADLY!First up, we're plunging into a chilling tale of an ice-cold assassin who thought he'd seen it all! This guy, a seasoned pro, takes what he thinks is an easy gig: clear out some dusty old mansion supposedly crawling with ghosts. Little did he know, these weren't your run-of-the-mill spooky specters. The mansion itself felt wrong, with blood-red light and eerie echoes setting the stage. But when the whispers started, morphing into the screams and faces of his past targets – a corrupt politician, a poisoned socialite, a fallen general – things went from creepy to HOLY-COW-THIS-IS-YOUR-WORST-NIGHTMARE real. Turns out, this "haunting" was less about bumps in the night and more about the universe delivering some seriously twisted karma. Our hardened killer found his fancy weapons were about as useful as a chocolate teapot against these phantom foes. Cornered and broken, facing the terrifying consequences of his bloody career, this wasn't a payday anymore; it was a punishment. In his final moments, with spectral hands closing in, he realized some prisons are built in the deepest, darkest parts of your own guilt-ridden soul. Talk about a killer realization!Then, we're switching gears from supernatural scares to something equally sinister: the razor-sharp mind of a political mastermind gone rogue! Forget your stuffy history books, because we're exposing the secret life of none other than Machiavelli! This legendary diplomat, sick of the backstabbing and hypocrisy of Renaissance Italy, decided to take his famous "the ends justify the means" philosophy to a whole new, deadly level. Forget ink and paper; his new weapons of choice were poison and deception. From a touch of white powder in a nobleman's wine to a plague-laced letter, Machiavelli became a shadowy figure, a whispered terror shaping the fate of nations with a lethal touch. But each successful hit left him with a growing emptiness, haunted by the accusing faces of his victims. Even his pal Leonardo saw the darkness creeping in. The ultimate test? Taking down the ruthless Cesare Borgia himself, a twisted mirror of his own ambition. The poison wasn't a blade, but a handshake, a deadly fungus turning his very touch into a death sentence. But victory brought no joy, only the crushing weight of his monstrous deeds and a desolate soul. In the end, the man who sought to master the game of power discovered its devastating cost: the death of his own idealism. A chilling reminder that sometimes, the most dangerous weapon is the brilliant, amoral mind itself!#TrueAssassinsPodcast #TrueCrime #Assassination #MurderMystery #Haunted #Ghosts #Machiavelli #Poison #Betrayal #Thriller #Suspense #DarkHistory #CrimeStories #OrlandoMadsbrine #TrueKill #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultPodcast #MustListen #Shocking #TwistedTales #DeadlyShadows #CaptivatingKills #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #MoralityPlay #PoliticalIntrigue #RenaissanceCrime #SpectralVengeance This is a public episode.

    Scrooge's Reckoning & Shadows' Embrace

    Welcome back, you magnificent morbid minds, to another thrilling descent into the abyss of "TRUE ASSASSINS PODCAST"! Get ready to have your perceptions shattered and your spines chilled because tonight, we're diving headfirst into a tale so twisted, so unbelievably dark, it'll make your last true crime binge look like a tea party. Forget your cozy mysteries; we're ripping through the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's infamous "TRUE KILL" to bring you a story that redefines the meaning of a bad day at the office... if your office happens to be shrouded in shadows and dripping with dread.Tonight's episode: From Top Killer to Cursed Corpse: When Your Own Shadows Turn on YOU!Buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to unravel the tragic (and let's be honest, slightly hilarious in a morbid way) downfall of a legendary assassin known only as the Shadow Dweller. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill, stab-in-the-back kind of guy. Oh no, this dude was stealth personified, a whisper in the dark, a phantom blade in the night. He thought he'd seen it all, diced and dispatched every lowlife imaginable, considering himself untouchable, a true dealer in endings. But karma, my friends, has a seriously wicked sense of humour, and this time, it arrived in the form of a grumpy old witch with a serious grudge.Our shadowy protagonist, in his infinite wisdom, decided that a witch and her "silly curses" were just another Tuesday. Big mistake, HUGE! This wasn't some dime-store hag; this crone knew things she shouldn't, like our assassin's real name, a secret buried deeper than Jimmy Hoffa. Then came the prophecy, chilling him to the bone: "The shadows you command will claim you". And wouldn't you know it, things went south faster than a politician caught in a scandal.Suddenly, the Shadow Dweller's trusty darkness turned traitor. Every flicker of movement became a threat, every shadow a potential predator. His dreams morphed into nightmares of a creepy smiling witch and something seriously nasty lurking just out of sight. Even his reflection started doing the funky chicken, showing him some kind of twisted, elongated monster. Talk about a bad mirror day!He tried to hide amongst his usual unsavoury clientele, the cutthroats and thieves of the city's underbelly. But even these hardened criminals gave him the side-eye, whispering about the witch's curse. His fearsome reputation, once his greatest weapon, now made him a pariah, a supernatural terror to even the most depraved. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and our once-confident killer found himself crawling back to the witch's burnt-out shack.And what did the old biddy have to say? Only the most soul-crushing truth imaginable: her curse didn't summon demons; it just revealed the darkness that was already inside him. Turns out, all those souls he'd sent packing were still hanging around, and now, thanks to the witch and his own crumbling sanity, they wanted their pound of flesh... literally! The shadows themselves became inky tendrils of vengeance, and our boy was the main course.In a poetic (and deeply disturbing) twist, the Shadow Dweller's final hunt was himself. Consumed by the very darkness he once commanded, he became a monstrous embodiment of his sins. So, the next time you're thinking about a life of shadowy assassinations, remember the tale of the Shadow Dweller. It might sound cool in the taverns, but trust us, the reality is a whole lot less glamorous and a whole lot more... well, you know... deadly.#TrueCrimePodcast #AssassinsCreedGoneWrong #ShadowsWithAttitude #WitchyJustice #KillerKarma #TrueKillMysteries #OrlandoMadsbrineMayhem #DarkDeedsDoneDirtCheap #RevengeIsShadowy #StealthAndSorcery #PodcastObsessed #CrimeJunkie #UnluckyAssassin #SupernaturalHitman #BewareTheDark This is a public episode.

This isn't just a family feud; it's a prophecy-fulfilling, kingdom-crushing catastrophe that leaves you wondering if anyone even packed a towel. Did someone say sibling rivalry? More like sibling annihilation!Then, hold onto your hats, because next we plunge into "SCALES OF SACRIFICE: WHEN LOYALTY BURNS!" Dragons! Assassination! Betrayal! Oh my! Our next tale features Elena, a deadly dragon shifter raised by a shadowy Order to take out rogue fire-breathers. Seems legit, right? Until her next target is none other than Kalos, the Crimson Fire – her own kin, her mentor! Talk about an awkward family reunion! The Order says he's gone full tyrant, but Elena's got a nagging feeling there's more to this scorching story. Get ready for a heart-wrenching showdown as she faces the ultimate choice: duty or blood? Scales clash, flames fly, and loyalties are tested in a battle that ends in a blaze of glory… and a whole lot of heartbreak. Was Kalos truly a monster, or was Elena just a pawn in a bigger, fiery game? This one will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about heroes, villains, and the price of a clean kill.#TrueAssassins #Podcast #TrueCrime #Assassination #Murder #Betrayal #Dragons #Magic #Fantasy #Action #Suspense #YoungAdult #Teen #BookPodcast #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #SiblingRivalry #Prophecy #DragonShifter #Tyrant #Sacrifice #DeadlyShadows #CaptivatingTales #BloodPacts #MurderousLegends #CloakAndDagger #RecklessHitmen #DaringKills #FrozenFire #ScalesOfSacrifice #RoyalRumble #FamilyFeud #MagicalCataclysm #ElementalPowers #KinVsKin #LastOfHerKind #HeroOrVillain This is a public episode.

    Baked to Death and Foundation of Fear

    Welcome back to TRUE ASSASSINS, the only podcast brave enough to dive headfirst into the deliciously dark world of professional... eliminators! This week, we've got a double dose of deadly decisions ripped straight from the pages of Orlando Madsbrine's shocking bestseller, TRUE KILL! Trust us, folks, these tales are so twisted, they'll leave you craving more... or maybe just craving a really good therapist.Episode Title: Baked to Death and Foundation of FearGet ready for a sugar rush gone horribly, hilariously wrong in our first segment, "Bitter Finish"! Meet Evelyn, the queen of confections, the buttercream boss lady who ruled her small town with an iron spatula and a secret ingredient: cyanide! This wasn't your grandma's bake sale, folks. Evelyn was serving up slices of sweet revenge, one poisoned pastry at a time. Her latest victim-to-be? Some nosy newcomer with a rival bakery who just couldn't mind her own business. Evelyn whipped up a death-by-deliciousness cake, a delicate sponge with a jammy surprise that would make anyone's heart stop... literally. But karma, as they say, is a batch. Our sweet-toothed assassin, in a moment of late-night weakness, decided to sample her own deadly creation. Oops! Turns out, a mislabeled box led to a truly tragic (and let's be honest, kind of funny) case of mistaken identity. One minute she's enjoying a sugary sliver, the next she's tasting the bitter end of her own recipe. Talk about a kitchen nightmare! They found her surrounded by cake crumbs, the ultimate ironic garnish on her own demise.Then, just when you thought things couldn't get any more darkly delightful, we slather you with "Fatal Beauty"! Step into the glamorous yet gruesome world of Sofia, the celebrity makeup artist who could make you look drop-dead gorgeous... permanently. Her secret weapon? A line of cosmetics laced with enough poison to make Snow White's stepmother jealous. Sofia was bumping off social climbers and fading stars with a flick of her wrist and a dab of deadly foundation. Her MO was genius: blend in, beautify, and bye-bye! Tonight's target? An aging actress desperately clinging to her youth. But in a whirlwind of VIP clients and last-minute touch-ups, Sofia got her brushes crossed. In a rush to look her own flawless best, she reached for what she thought was her regular foundation... but it was the special, extra-strength, "sayonara, see you never" formula. One smooth application later, and Sofia realized she'd painted her own face with death. No amount of concealer could hide that mistake! They found her among her glittering tools, a victim of her own lethal artistry. It's a tragic tale of beauty gone bad, proving that sometimes, the deadliest look is the one you accidentally give yourself.#TrueCrimePodcast #AssassinationTales #DeadlyDesserts #PoisonedMakeup #IronicJustice #TrueKill #OrlandoMadsbrine #CutthroatBaker #LethalLooks #CrimeStories #TeenPodcast #YoungAdultPodcast #Suspense #Intrigue #DarkHumor #PodcastRecommendations #MustListenPodcast This is a public episode.

    The Devil's Coin: When a Detective Becomes the Killer!

    Welcome back to True Assassins, the daily podcast that brings you chilling true crime stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on!Tonight, we explore the unsettling case file of Detective Carter!Buckle up, crime junkies, because tonight's tale is a real head-scratcher! Detective Carter was a hardened investigator - the kind of guy who rolled his eyes at ghost stories and scoffed at psychics. But even he couldn't ignore the string of bizarre murders plaguing his city. Seemingly unconnected victims, each killed in a ritualistic fashion...it was like something out of a horror movie, but very, very real. The thing that really creeped Carter out was the strange silver coin found at each crime scene! It had some weird symbols on it, and even the toughest cops on the force were giving it the side-eye. Carter's no fool, though. He knows there's no such thing as curses, but he can't shake the feeling that this coin is somehow connected to the killings. Carter's gut tells him that this coin isn't just a clue – it's the key to stopping the murders. So, he goes on a wild goose chase, talking to stuffy professors and shady antique collectors, trying to figure out what the heck this coin is and where it came from. He finally finds the coin's origin - a creepy old mansion owned by a reclusive collector with more than a few skeletons in his closet. Let's just say Carter's "visit" didn't involve tea and biscuits.  A fight breaks out, and in a moment of desperation (and maybe a little bit of crazy), Carter smashes the coin to pieces. You'd think that would be the end of it, right? WRONG! The murders do stop, and Carter is hailed as a hero. But...things start to go very, very wrong for him. His luck turns sour, he's plagued by nightmares, and he just can't shake the feeling that he's made a terrible mistake. Then, the ultimate twist! Carter ends up dead, a victim of a random mugging. But guess what's clutched in his hand? Another coin! This time, the symbol is different...and way more sinister. Turns out, Carter didn't destroy the evil, he just set it free. And by meddling with forces he didn't understand, he became the curse's new host! So, dear listeners, lock your doors, check under your beds, and be careful what you wish for – because sometimes, the things that go bump in the night are all too real. Join us next time for another nail-biting episode of True Assassins. Until then, sweet dreams! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit trueassassins.substack.com
