Episode Description

Malevolency | A Gothic Horror Story About Twisted Faith and Buried Secrets

A silent church.
A ruin left untouched.
And a presence that refuses to be forgotten.

St Matthew’s Church of the Eternal Redemption has stood abandoned for decades. Its records are gone. Its history erased.

And yet it remains.

In this episode of Tales Under A Broken Sky, an urban exploration blogger discovers the church and sees an opportunity for viral fame. A story no one else has told. A place inexplicably overlooked.

But some secrets don’t want to be uncovered.

And some places remember.

Malevolency is a slow-burn gothic horror story about religious symbolism, forgotten spaces, and the dangerous pull of places left to decay. This marks my first full dive into religious horror, shaped slowly over months and brought to life through metaphor, atmosphere, and creeping dread.

Expect ruined sanctuaries, unsettling revelations, and the sense that not every silence is empty.

If you’re drawn to quiet gothic horror, strange ruins, and stories that linger long after the final line, this one is for you.

Content warnings: death, violence, mentions of child death, torture and abuse, explicit language, religious symbolism, body horror.
