The Cricket Podcast is a project to capture the art of storytelling at bedtime with the stories that we tell our kids. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes they are scary, usually a bit of both. But they are always kid-safe, entertaining, yet calm enough to fall asleep to. Most importantly, we get right into the story without a bunch of self-promoting meta talk. Production is kept minimal with intention: we try to preserve the craft of storytelling by presenting the story exactly as we would when telling our own children, using only our voices.

Nanny Bea lives in a cottage she calls Dave and likes nothing more than telling stories, except maybe rich tea biscuits (which are far from rich and taste nothing of tea). Crammed full of professional character voices to engage, inspire and occupy young minds (4-10 in human years) with stories and banter written to uphold values such as kindness and respect, oh and silliness, lots and lots of silliness. We pretend the episodes range from 8-25 minutes to give you variety not because we lack the self control to do otherwise.

Our host Jill Davis brings out a tray of delicious snacks and treats and sets them on a wooden barrel that sits in the middle of the assortment of chairs. Each seat is ready for our storyteller, our friends, and you. Take a sip, have a bite, and get ready for another wonderful evening on the Porch. Here on the Porch, we hear real stories of courage, tragedy, rejection, triumph, joy, grief, and all the other wonderful aspects of existence that make us the unique humans that we are.

Monsters are made, not born.

An old sheriff must enter a house and find what has been feeding off of his town.
A young girl survives a vicious attack, but at what cost?
At the edge of space, a man struggles against himself and his mortality.

An original collection of horror and science fiction stories that will leave you questioning the dark outside your window, and will stay with you after you put them down.

If you are a fan of Stephen King's unnerving prose, Isaac Asimov's brilliant vision of the future, Adam Nevill's bone-chilling horror, Shirley Jackson's haunting mysteries, or Ted Chiang's mind-bending concepts, this collection by W.H. Maxwell is tailor-made for you.
