Hey, what's up, this is Tyler Bell, creator of the Westside Fairytales, a collection of horror and dark fiction stories that all take place in the same extensive universe but can be experienced in any order. Today I'm bringing you episode 11 of our long-form episodic story “Sin Carriers,” in which a ragtag group of misfits encounter horrors and monstrosities along a trainline in early 1900s America. In this episode, our travelers have been ambushed and scattered throughout a dangerous, rotten town controlled by an enigmatic demon named Belial. Midway through their various rescues and escapes, numerous factions cross paths and clash in the dead of night. The entirety of this episode is written, read, scored, recorded and produced by me. Enjoy. cw: The Westside Fairytales contains scenes of explicit violence and extreme situations. Individuals with specific triggers should reach out to our community on an episode-by-episode basis if they're concerned.

Tolliver awakes a different man than the one he was before departing, but can't quite hold himself together. Wickless loses face after terribly misjudging a situation, and Gato teaches a new Imago just where he stands in the pecking order.Thanks for listening!

Hello! This is Tyler Bell, the writer and creator of the Westside Fairytales, a collection of horror and dark fiction stories now beginning its fifth season. From hostile alien worlds where creeping red fungus drives men to madness, to the simple insanities of living an unfulfilling domestic life, we at the Westside Fairytales have written a horror story for you. Not you in that broad, neopolitical sense, where you just means anybody, but you, Dear Listener. We know all about you. What makes you nervous, what makes you sick with anxiety, what keeps you from leaving your house sometimes for the maddening worry of it. The story we bring you today concerns a girl born into a life of dirt; who desires to spring forth from the rich earth of her homeland and become a woman capable of anything. A woman who will shake the world. But first, she must make a deal with a creature unlike anything she's ever seen. A thing that lurks in the shadows beneath her father's house. Again, I am Tyler Bell and you are listening to season four, episode six of the Westside Fairytales. A story we call Ojos Oscuros. Thank you for listening. https://westsidefairytales.com Twitter: @wsfairytales

Mass shootings have become such a part of American life that a simple word can evoke them from the nation’s collective memory. For example, Columbine, Sandy Hook and Luby’s. One thing you’ll notice about almost all mass shootings is that the perpetrator is male. Female mass shooters are rare. Female mass shooters that target their place of employment are even rarer. But in Goleta, California, in 2006, an ex-postal worker was an exception to the rule. It was the nation’s deadliest workplace shooting perpetrated by a woman and the nation’s bloodiest shooting at a postal installation in almost 20 years.Show Notes: https://morbidology.com/morbidology-the-podcast-27-goleta-postal-murdersPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/morbidologyHimalaya +: https://himalaya.com/morbidologyThank you to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode!

In this continuation of the four-part series Tota Americana, Alex continues traveling through the wide open spaces of the American Great Plains, coming across an odd, lonely girl sitting by herself on a train platform. She asks for little more than some company, but things aren't always what they seem out there on the road.Let us remind you that today’s story is the third of a four-part series. Our suggestion is that you return here after enjoying part one and two, but no worries if you’d like to listen out of order.

This week I discuss the 2-part HBO documentary series "Leaving Neverland" produced by filmmaker Dan Reed.  It tells the story of two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson who allege they were sexually abused as children by entertainer Michael Jackson.   My guest host this week is Tyler Bell, the writer and producer of the podcast "Westside Fairytales".  Links: Westside Fairytales Podcast - www.westsidefairytales.com  Twitter: @WSFairytales Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/westsidefairytales Leaving Neverland - https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/leaving-neverland Taco Bell Cantina locations - https://www.livingmas.com/cantina  

It’s on the Great Planes where we resume our story, the tale of a young person named Alex traveling across the country to the resting place of a barely known father. The hope is to find some deeper understanding of self through this visitation, but the paths ahead are riddled with pitfalls and parties of a dubious nature. Marks have been set into flesh that leave the scent of blood to linger on the wind, drawing forth a greater evil from the depths of the American Heartlands. A thing beyond reckoning, which must be faced in time.Let us remind you that today’s story is the second of a four-part series. Our suggestion is that you return here after enjoying part one, but no worries if you’d like to listen out of order.

Today’s story is the second half of a two-part tale.Last episode, we left the subject of our story, a young man named Barden, on his lonesome in his hermitage of a flat in Paris. He’s been bothered by strange knocking from the apartment downstairs, and visions of some pale-faced apparition that may or may not be a symptom of his self-imposed isolation.Barden is a man who likes solitude not because he enjoys it, but because it suits him and he’s afraid of trying anything else. But he’s started hearing the first low peels of bellsong in the foggy Parisian night, and soon he may find the call of at least one of those long and lonely notes too enticing to ignore.Support us on PatreonFollow us on social media: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram Join the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit ClubSend us an emailArtwork by Yui BreedloveThis month’s recommendations:Literature recommendation: ”The House of Sand and Fog” by Andre Dubus IIIRandom horror recommendation: Monstruo, the new podcast from the creators of the Westside Fairytales, Dark Topic, and Sword and Scale See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
