It is March, 1915 in France, and just behind the front lines a woman is running for her life. She does not run from enemy soldiers or falling mortars; a far more sinister creature stalks her, one created by bloodshed and black magic. This is the newest threat in a war growing uglier by the day, and it won't be the last. Or the worst.


But this woman is not a civilian. As a knight of the Order of Joan, she is only one of a legion of women with a long history of monster hunting. So when she runs, she does not do so blindly; it's all part of the larger plan.

Step into the world of Doorway to Darkness, a horror fiction podcast where the veil between the living and the dead is thin, and where the things that go bump in the night are all too real.
Written by horror fiction writer Casey Burrin, and narrated by the chilling voice of the Night Creeper, this podcast will take you on a journey to the darkest depths of the supernatural.
For those brave enough to listen, our tales will challenge your beliefs and make you question the very nature of reality. They will test your courage and your sanity, and leave you wondering if the darkness that surrounds us is real, or merely a figment of our imagination.
In each episode, we'll bring you tales of ghosts, ghouls, vampires, curses, and monsters that will make your blood run cold.
But this is not just any ordinary horror podcast, my friends.
Half of the stories feature 19-year-old supernatural expert Chance and Detective Tyler, a paranormal investigator.
Together they navigate the treacherous waters of the supernatural, uncovering the hidden secrets of the dead, and facing down the terrors that lurk in the shadows.
The other half of our stories feature a random assortment of characters and situations, each one more terrifying than the last.
From abandoned asylums to haunted houses, from cursed towns to ancient crypts, our stories will transport you to places where the darkness reigns supreme.
So come, dear listener, and journey with us into the darkness. Let us take you to the edge of terror and back again, and let the Night Creeper's voice guide you through the abyss.
But beware, for once go through the Doorway to Darkness, there's no turning back.
So, let us leave you with a final warning: "The darkness is always waiting, just beyond the light. Be careful where you step and keep your wits about you.
Until we meet again, this is Doorway to Darkness, and we bid you a terrifying goodnight.
