Shadow – A Parable Edgar Allan Poe Seven men hide from a terrible plague, drinking beside the body of a dead companion, when an impossible shadow appears among them. A brief, intensely atmospheric meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death. Kerfol Edith Wharton A visitor to an old estate in Brittany encounters a silent pack of mysterious dogs and discovers the tragic history of the house.

One tale follows a rejected suitor who turns to witchcraft in an attempt to carry away the woman he desires.
In questa puntata di NAP partiamo da una delle storie più famose e inquietanti della cronaca nera americana: Lizzie Borden. Marica ci porta nel 1892, a Fall River, Massachusetts, per raccontarci la vera storia degli omicidi di Andrew e Abby Borden e il controverso processo che trasformò Lizzie in uno dei nomi più celebri della storia del true crime.Poi arriva, come da tradizione, il momento in cui il buon senso abbandona lo studio: nel TG NAP, Marica affronta con la consueta serietà giornalistica argomenti di grande interesse come il sesso con i fantasmi, il collo pornografico di Trump e altre notizie assolutamente indispensabili per comprendere il mondo in cui viviamo.Nella seconda parte Stefano ci porta invece nella weird fiction e nel lato più oscuro della letteratura americana. Partiamo da Ambrose Bierce, scomparso misteriosamente nel 1913 durante un viaggio in Messico, passando per Carcosa, città immaginaria e inquietante, fino ad arrivare a Robert W. Chambers e a Il Re in Giallo, raccolta del 1895 destinata a diventare uno dei testi fondamentali dell'horror moderno e della narrativa fantastica.E quando pensate che l'infanzia sia finalmente al sicuro, arriva il momento di distruggere un altro ricordo felice. In chiusura parliamo infatti de La Tata (The Nanny), sitcom americana degli anni Novanta, e soprattutto di una delle più bizzarre operazioni di adattamento della televisione italiana: Fran Fine, la ragazza ebrea del Queens, diventa Francesca Cacace, ciociara di Frosinone, con tanto di accento, mamme che diventano zie, e biografia completamente reinventata. Perché? Perché Si.Tutti gli episodi, info, contatti e il libri per supportare il podcast:divanooscuro.it/nap

A coroner's inquest convenes over a mutilated body in a lonely California cabin, where the only witness swears the thing that killed his friend was standing in plain sight the whole time.

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

¿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.

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.

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".

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.
