Stories from the Hearth is an experimental storytelling podcast, a free artistic space in the style of a painter's studio or writer's diary. It is a place for you to lose yourself in truly original short stories and their immersive soundscapes, written, narrated, and produced by Scottish poet Cal Bannerman. Learn about the history of storytelling in occasional miniseries The Wandering Bard, or escape your daily stresses with one of Cal's queer-focused fantasy, historical, supernatural and science fiction stand-alone monthly stories. Episodes range from 15-90 minutes long, and are aimed at an adult audience. Original artwork by Anna Ferrara.

Dive into the chilling world of 'Read Before Midnight' - where horror meets sci-fi in the haunting landscapes of rural Appalachia. Experience spine-tingling tales of small-town terrors, cosmic horrors, dystopian futures, and supernatural encounters that blur the lines between this world and the next.

From cosmic entities devouring entire towns to dystopian futures of horrific decisions and consequences, W.H. Maxwell's stories push the boundaries of horror and speculative fiction. Each episode weaves a tapestry of interconnected characters and locations, creating a rich, unsettling universe that grows with every story.

Perfect for fans of Stephen King's unnerving small-town horrors, H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic dread, Black Mirror's disturbing near-futures, and Shirley Jackson's psychological suspense. 'Read Before Midnight' doesn't just scare - it makes you question the nature of reality, morality, and humanity itself. With vivid prose, complex characters, and concepts that linger long after the story ends, this podcast is a must-listen for any horror or sci-fi enthusiast.

New episodes - Season Two! Binge the complete Season One now available on Amazon!

A Fantasy Worldbuilding Audio Narrative.
Let me tell you of my world, Vhul.

Its history, the memories of its people, they drift upon the black sea roiling just outside these walls.

And if I am lucky, I may pluck something worth telling from those depths.

We'll start at Rham Sek, the Great City of the Swamp.

Then we'll meet a group of friends at play in a dusty plaza of that city and follow them as they go on an adventure.

Sushya Sek will come next, and all the mysteries of the God Mage who rules it.

So, sweet listener, come with me as I weave these visions into the story of the end of my world - The Fall of Vhul.
