Summer is here and it's time to get scared. In this special minisode, Chris and Ed officially announce SUMMER OF FEAR 2026 - but that's not all! They prepare for a season of horrors by looking at the disgusting summer of 1858, when London's River Thames became an open sewer so foul it forced the city into a full-blown sewage revolution. Then they cool off with Ambrose Bierce's short horror story “One Summer Night,” a classic tale about being buried alive, dug up, and still having things get worse.SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scared-all-the-time--7084296/support.Get the latest episodes of our bonus show NEW FEAR UNLOCKED -- and a whole lot more! --by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScaredAllTheTime

O conto "A Estrada Enluarada" (The Moonlit Road), escrito pelo crítico satírico, escritor e jornalista estadunidense, Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), foi publicado originalmente em 1907, na revista Cosmopolitan. É uma história de fantasma pautada no Espiritismo, que explora três pontos de vista e envolve um feminicídio, o drama da vítima e o contato com um Espírito. O conto abre-se em três capítulos: I. Depoimento de Joel Hetman Jr; II. Depoimento de Caspar Grattan; III. Depoimento da falecida Julia Hetman, através do médium Bayrolles. Com o médium, Bierce obriga que a interpretação perpasse a conversa com os espíritos e a mediunidade, para isso, vamos nos ancorar nos livros do Pentateuco Kardequiano, estruturados por Allan Kardec entre 1857 e 1868. Essas obras formam a base moral, científica e filosófica do Espiritismo. As Obras Básicas da Codificação são: O Livro dos Espíritos (1857), O Livro dos Médiuns (1861), O Evangelho Segundo o Espiritismo (1864), O Céu e o Inferno (1865) e A Gênese (1868). O médium Bayrolles (cujo nome verdadeiro era Horatio DuBois) é um famoso personagem fictício e médium espiritualista do século XIX, intimamente ligado ao universo do horror cósmico e à mitologia de o "Rei de Amarelo” (Robert W. Chambers, 1895). A origem literária deste médium é justamente Ambrose Bierce nestes contos clássicos de terror. Quando Bayrolles faz o depoimento de Julia através da escrita automática e transe, vamos compreender muitos fatos.

¿Y si aquello que más miedo da no pudiera verse? ¿Y si nuestros sentidos no fueran suficientes para percibir todo lo que existe a nuestro alrededor? ¿Puede algo matar sin dejar rostro, forma ni explicación? Sinopsis: En este episodio de Páginas Oscuras nos adentramos en “La cosa maldita”, uno de los relatos más inquietantes de Ambrose Bierce, maestro estadounidense del cuento oscuro, la ironía macabra y el horror psicológico. La historia comienza con una muerte inexplicable. Un hombre ha sido hallado brutalmente mutilado en plena naturaleza, pero no hay rastro claro de su agresor. Durante la investigación, los testimonios, las dudas y un extraño manuscrito abrirán la puerta a una posibilidad tan perturbadora como imposible: quizá la criatura responsable no pertenece al mundo visible. Sin destripar sus secretos, “La cosa maldita” es un relato breve, afilado y sorprendentemente moderno, que juega con el miedo a lo invisible, con los límites de la percepción humana y con esa incómoda pregunta que el terror sabe formular tan bien: ¿cuántas cosas existen aunque no podamos verlas? Ambrose Bierce fue periodista, escritor y veterano de la Guerra Civil estadounidense. Su obra se caracteriza por una mirada amarga, precisa y profundamente escéptica sobre la condición humana. Autor de relatos como Un habitante de Carcosa, El puente sobre el río del Búho y La cosa maldita, Bierce dejó una huella decisiva en la literatura fantástica y de terror. “The Damned Thing” fue publicado originalmente en 1893 y continúa siendo una pieza esencial para entender el horror basado no en lo que se muestra, sino en aquello que permanece fuera del alcance de nuestros sentidos. Cada viernes, un nuevo relato en Páginas Oscuras. Musicas: - 01. Mind Tricks - Experia (Epidemic) - 02. Dark Music - The Sealed Kingdom (Epidemic) - 03.

Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook format gives you an immersive experience in classic literature. You can get friendlier with the classics you know, and discover new favorites. I'm your host BJ Harrison. I'm glad you could join us. I sent out a newsletter this week with links to our new products, a note on other stuff we've got coming down the pike, and a link to a hidden gem in the library. If you missed it, check your inboxes. I try to keep it short, sweet, and convenient. For years, I listened to David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens every year. There was just something nourishing when I revisited that story. There still is. The characters, the themes, the masterful language, it was a literary feast – and I always picked up something new. I don't know how you are, but sometimes I'm not at a place where I can handle a book. It just doesn't work for some reason. Then, a year or two later maybe, the same book absolutely hits the spot. With the audiobook library card, you can always find something that will meet you where you are. And you can start, stop, try again, as much as you want. In a Wodehouse mood? Dozens of hours. Need to scratch a historical itch? How about Plutarch's Lives of famous Greeks and Romans, or The Count of Monte Cristo? Coming up on 19 years of personally narrated audiobooks. Also, you don't need to place orders. Buttons to download each title are found in the product description. It's super easy to bop around and see what you like. Now, you can share it with friends, family, or clients. Whatever works. Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com and choose the plan that's right for you. Now for our Word for the Week, by Ambrose Bierce. In this segment, we hear from the Devil's Lexicographer himself, as he delivers one of his caustic definitions. The Word for the Week is Twice, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself: TWICE, adv. Once too often Thank you Mr. Bierce. And now, Jeeves and the Kid Clementina, by P.G.

Today's story established the format for the short story "In a Grove", by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, the father of the Japanese short story. "In a Grove" influenced the great Akira Kurosawa to create the film Rashomon. The concept being that two witnesses can give widely different accounts of the same factual event. It may also serve as William James's thesis that "it is not so much the truth of events that matters, but how they are perceived, and the difference that they make to the perceiver". I hope you like it.

The speech of one who utters with his tongue what he thinks with his ear, and feels the pride of a creator in accomplishing the feat of a parrot.

Experience The Damned Thing by Ambrose Bierce; a classic American horror story first published in 1893. This eerie tale unfolds through a coroner's inquest, diary entries, and witness testimony, all circling around a terrifying creature that cannot be seen. Bierce was one of the earliest writers to explore the idea of an invisible monster, long before it became a staple of modern horror. The Damned Thing originally appeared in Town Topics in 1893 and later in Bierce's collection In the Midst of Life. Its documentary style, dry wit, and slow‑building dread make it one of his most memorable supernatural works. Settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy this unsettling classic from one of America's sharpest - and strangest - writers ❤️ https://open.spotify.com/show/1dac5HA4oPg55A06JDXUQITools used: Presonus Studio One M7, Motionleap, Movavi, and Canva Protags:the damned thing, ambrose bierce, ambrose bierce horror, classic horror story, classic horror reading, horror audiobook, creepy audiobook, invisible monster story, 19th century horror, american gothic literature, public domain horror, classic short story reading, quiet horror, cozy horror reading, atmospheric reading, soft spoken reading, bedtime horror story, classic literature audiobook, supernatural short story, eerie story reading, horror narration, vintage horror tale, weird fiction classic, unsettling short story, horror story full reading

Before we dive into today's story, I want to start a new little feature called the Word for the Week. Each week, we'll have a definition from the Devil's Lexicographer himself – Ambrose Bierce. Over the course of 30 years, Bierce nearly weekly wrote a cynical definition of a common word, sometimes consisting of poems, which he sold to various newspapers and periodicals. After 30 years, he collected all of these into one volume which came to be called The Devil's Dictionary. In keeping with the spirit of its creation, we'll hear one of his jocular definitions before we begin today's show. So, the Word for the Week is Infancy, and here to read it is Ambrose Bierce himself: INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, "Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward. Thank you Mr. Bierce. And now, Michael Strogoff, Part 8 of 9, by Jules Verne.

A condemned man stands on a railroad bridge, a noose around his neck, dreaming of escape. Ambrose Bierce's 1891 tale “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” remains one of the darkest and most unforgettable short stories ever written.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: It's Thriller Thursday – and this week I'm bringing you three tales of fiction. I'll share a short story that has been described as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature" – it's “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by the legendary Ambrose Bierce, from 1890. I have a classic creepypasta from 2016 that many people mistakenly believe is a true story because it is so well written. It's “The Strange Case of Edmonson Kentucky” by Joe Terrell. But first, it's a short story of fiction as told by one of the hardest-working writers I know, as she is always posting new stories on Facebook: Christina Skelton. It's a story from April 2020 titled simply, “The Ghost Bus”.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00.00.000 = Show Open00:01:31.892 = “The Ghost Bus” by Christina Skelton00:11:29.476 = “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce * 00:34:43.528 = “The Strange Case of Edmonson, Kentucky” by Joe Terrell *01:02:22.710 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/uu4acekx“The Ghost Bus” by Christina Skelton: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/phupb8p4“The Strange Case of Edmonson, Kentucky” by Joe Terrell: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/sdtru243=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
