Rather than following familiar genre formulas, he strives to create stories that unfold organically, allowing characters to make choices that feel authentic, even when they lead into uncomfortable territory.Together they discuss:The Eternal Knights seriesWriting dark fantasy for adult readersWhy organic storytelling creates stronger fictionBuilding believable characters and relationshipsThe influence of military service on his writingMental health and portraying difficult topics with authenticitySelf-publishing, hybrid publishing, and avoiding vanity pressesWorldbuilding without over planningWhy reading remains one of the most valuable lifelong habitsBalancing creativity, family life, and the writing processRichard also offers thoughtful advice for aspiring writers, discusses the realities of today's publishing landscape, and explains why authentic characters matter more than predictable story formulas.Guest: Richard Spegal https://richardspegal.com/Featured Series: Eternal Knights

Send us Fan MailWilliam Marshal finally earns the honour he has spent his entire life fighting for.After surviving brutal medieval warfare, captivity, and impossible horrors, William Marshal returns to Château de Tancarville alongside Sir Gervais and the flamboyant Percy of Northumberland.Before Guillaume de Tancarville, William's courage is recognised, and he is formally knighted, becoming Sir William Marshal.But there is little time to celebrate.Reports emerge from the ancient Forest of Brotonne of villagers disappearing and armed men being slaughtered by what locals believe is a werewolf.William, Gervais and Percy receive their first mission together as knights: hunt the beast and bring back its head.Yet Fenrir, William's ancient wolf companion, recognises the forest immediately—and for the first time in centuries, he is genuinely afraid.This episode blends real medieval history, Norman France, historical fiction, Arthurian atmosphere, dark fantasy, werewolf mythology, humour and emotional character development into one of the most important chapters of the series.Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, The Last Kingdom, Game of Thrones, medieval history, historical fantasy, dark fantasy and supernatural audio dramas.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

Indie Sci‑Fi, Horror & Fantasy Spotlight Two indie films that approach fear, identity, and the unknown from completely different angles. One is cosmic terror in the woods; the other is a psychological fantasy that turns romance into revelation. Together, they showcase why indie genre filmmaking remains one of the most daring corners of cinema. Extraterrestrial — Colin Minihan's Alien Terror in the Trees A cabin getaway becomes a nightmare when a group of friends witness a mysterious crash in the woods. What they find isn't debris — it's an alien spacecraft, complete with footprints leading away from the impact site. A conversation with Colin Minihan explores how he built tension from isolation, paranoia, and the fear of breaking a cosmic pact. Minihan's approach blends classic alien‑abduction dread with indie grit, making Extraterrestrial a standout for fans of grounded sci‑fi horror. Where to watch: Prime Video and Netflix. Reflections — Anthony Khaseria's Dark Fantasy of Self‑Confrontation A beautiful couple enters a charming café expecting a romantic evening. Instead, they discover a hidden mirror that doesn't show their ideal selves — it shows the truth they've been avoiding. In Reflections, the mirror becomes a portal into a malefic cycle, trapping the couple in a loop where they must confront their inner demons. The film blends fantasy with psychological horror, offering moments that feel almost like a Harry Potter‑style magical reveal, except the magic here exposes unsettling realities rather than wish fulfillment. Khaseria's award‑winning short uses minimalism, atmosphere, and emotional precision to create a story that lingers long after the final frame. It's a reminder that fantasy can be intimate — and terrifying — when it turns inward. Where to watch: YouTube   SAVE 17% On PLUS

Dark Fantasy Episode

The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine: A Horror, Dark Fantasy, Medical Mystery Audio Drama Umberto Eco Meets H.P. Lovecraft in a world of Occult Academia, Laboratory Judaica. Heavily inspired by Jewish mythology, the world of Olam uses Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic and other real world languages and cultures to create a rich tapestry of a grim, fantastical, planet that doesn't sacrifice scientific accuracy or historicity. THORB Case 016 The Fruiting Body Radulf takes his renewed excommunication with grace and dignity as he and Iain make their way west along an alternate path back to Zhostok. Stopping in each of the cities of the northern mahla coast, Radulf expands on the region and his plans for the future. As they approach the true start of their journey, however, they are met with rumors of a blight in the north. Some whispers suggest the infection is Nagific in nature. Of course, Radulf cannot leave so tempting a stone unturned. The fruiting body examines what happens when the Nagifim engage in profane botany rather than their usual misanthropy. The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, body horror, and forensic investigation. If you've ever wanted a podcast that treats disease and mythology with the same care as a true crime documentary, this is the show for you. Radulf is not a hero. He's a disgraced curmudgeonly cleric with a terrible bedside manner and more pride than sense. This episode contains: descriptions of cannibalism, bodily decomposition, eye trauma, tissue decay, grief, and the death of multiple characters including a child, suicide.

Wolfgang Petersen's The Never Ending Story  This week we look into the cinematic psyche of Mr. Ibrahim Chavez. Our path is Wolfgang Petersen's 1984 Childrens' Dark Fantasy, The Never Ending Story. A childrens' adventure/heroes journey of youth battling nihilism (in this case The Nothing), bullies, parental loss, and the power of imagination, self-worth (self-belief), and self-realization. Possibilities abound in this story surrounding a magical book, a young warrior (Atreyu), beautiful, frightening, and troubling settings (The Swamp of Sadness - one of the most depressing and overpowering setttings in The History of Movies), and imaginative puppetry (The Luck Dragon - Falkor, Gmork, Turtle-like Morla, and The Rock-Eater - truly magnificent). The struggle to save the mythical Fantasia of the film presents imaginative and important points for those of us who have always loved reading and literature and the new generations that are understanding the power of literature. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Our Continued Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

Supernatural horror stories, creature attacks, dark fantasy nightmares, vampire hunters, witchcraft, death cults, feral forest legends, and occult monster terror collide in this eerie Weekly Spooky compilation built for fans of scary stories, horror fiction, paranormal thrillers, folk horror, supernatural action, dark magic, cannibal legends, and cursed wilderness mysteries.These stories crawl through haunted forests, secret schools, forgotten hills, and poisoned realms where the old rules of the world break apart. A gentle hermit discovers an ancient corruption spreading through the woods. A supernatural federal agent spends New Year's Eve fighting undead servants and a death god. A folklore writer follows a century-old Oregon mystery into the trees… and finds out some legends are hungry enough to survive.Inside this episode:• New Year's Evil: A Paranormal Thriller from the Case Files of Caroline QuinnA half-vampire federal troubleshooter returns to her old supernatural school on New Year's Eve, only to find the campus overtaken by cultists, undead creatures, and a possible death god resurrection. It's occult action horror with monsters, government secrets, superpowered students, and a countdown to midnight. • Hermit — by Mike MannIn a strange fantasy realm, an ancient woodland healer discovers black ichor infecting animals, trees, and the balance of nature itself. Her desperate warning leads her toward a village where fear, cruelty, dark magic, and monstrous transformation await. • Fool's Hill — by Bruce HaneyA folklore writer investigating old Oregon witch legends uncovers a century-long pattern of disappearances, mutilated bodies, strange screams in the woods, and a hill with a terrible reputation. What begins as local legend becomes a grim folk-horror mystery about curiosity, cannibal survival, and the stories people should have left buried. If you love supernatural horror podcasts, scary folklore stories, dark fantasy horror, occult mysteries, vampire hunters, haunted woods, death cult horror, folk horror, and creature-feature nightmares, this compilation delivers a strange, bloody trip into worlds where the monsters may be ancient, human, undead, or something much worse.

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into a week of chaos surrounding Donald Trump, from a weekend barrage of Truth Social posts and increasingly bizarre self-mythologizing to mounting questions about his health, judgment, and grip on reality. Rothkopf argues that Trump's latest behavior reveals a president trapped by crises of his own making—from Iran and a crumbling political coalition to what he describes as a dangerous fantasy world where everyone else plays the victim. The pair also unpack the growing signs of Republican unease, the political fallout heading into the midterms, and why a larger generational reckoning may be reshaping global leadership. As the conversation builds toward a chilling conclusion about power, aging, and the risks of desperation, Rothkopf delivers one of his starkest assessments yet of the man occupying the Oval Office.
