An entire town... gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow.
Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent.
For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they’re determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow.
Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumours swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something... infernal?
Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched. Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared... but something still lingers in the shadows.
The investigation begins... now.

Welcome to The Nightmare Engine — a weekly show that churns with dread and drips with dark insight. Hosted by David Viergutz, the Master of Malice, this show tears back the curtain on all things horror. From the art of scaring readers to chilling interviews with guests of the macabre—authors, occultists, scholars of the strange—you'll explore the gears that keep the genre grinding.
And nestled in the static... notes from The Curator of The Dead Letters, whispering deeper truths from the shadows.
This isn’t just a podcast.
It’s a transmission from the other side.
Best friends and neighbors, Aubree and Kaala bring you into their favorite regular activity, watching and dissecting all films horrifying and spooky. Studies show since the late 80's, horror films and shows have been more driven by female interest leading to stories that are more complex. These films have become a vessel to deliver deeper narratives spanning from mental health, the missing stair, family trauma, phobias, folklore and cryptids. Join these ghouls for good discussion, laughs and plenty of screams!
Ten years of marriage, ten years of lies. She’s always known her husband’s weaknesses—his love for gambling, women, and excess—but tonight she turns them into his downfall. In this short audio thriller, follow a couple on the night of their ten-year anniversary as the wife uses her husband’s own vices against him. Don’t miss the moment when everything unravels.
Starring Danielle Whiteside, Joey Wade

A dark fantasy thriller audio drama.
When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place...
Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story.
Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be.
The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it.
With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.
Find out more about Remnants here.
Remnants is a part of the Rusty Quill Network.

Welcome to The Westside Fairytales Podcast
Demons, desperate souls, and eldritch horrors...
We at the Westside Fairytales have written a story for you. Not you in that broad sense where you just means anybody, but you, Dear Listener. We know all about you. What makes you nervous, what sickens you, what keeps you from leaving your house sometimes for the maddening worry of it. And we’ve put it in a story. A story we’ll read for you.
These strange and varied original tales will linger long after you've finished listening.
The Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast is an award-winning audiodrama written, read, and produced by author Tyler Bell. New episodes are released every month and can be found at westsidefairytales.com, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
The first 4 seasons are comprised of a variety of short stories. Seasons 5 and 6 each are a season-long novel broken into episodic chapters. While each story can stand on its own, all content takes place in the extended Westside Fairytales universe, with continuing themes, characters, and connections.
The Horror and Lit Club episodes are discussions, interviews, and reviews that are separate from the regular fiction episodes.
