Drew Blood's Dark Tales — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Podcast

Kevin Loomis has turned ruined houses into an empire. With a television show, a recognizable brand, and an instinct for extracting profit from other people’s misfortunes, he has earned the nickname “King Loomis—the Friendly Flipper.” His latest acquisition could be his greatest triumph yet: an abandoned cabin buried deep in the Louisiana bayou, purchased for the unbelievable price of five hundred dollars. It may be overflowing with decades of hoarded belongings, but beneath the decay, Kevin sees exactly what he always sees—a payday. Then he discovers that the cabin isn’t empty. Stranded miles from civilization and surrounded by predators, Kevin must rely on his wits to survive a wilderness that cannot be charmed, cheated, or cheaply renovated. In this viciously entertaining tale of creature horror, the self-proclaimed king of house flipping is about to learn what happens when he trespasses in another creature’s kingdom.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

For Paul, the lonely truck stop glowing in the darkness should be a welcome sight—a chance for gas, coffee, and maybe a slice of pecan pie before getting back on the road. Then he walks inside and realizes everyone is staring out the window. Something has appeared beneath the lights outside. Something that wasn't there minutes ago. And when newly installed security cameras reveal how it arrived, the handful of strangers inside the diner suddenly have a much bigger problem than reaching the next town. Beyond the parking lot lies miles of wilderness. Somewhere within it, something is watching.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

Grace Merritt has the kind of marriage other couples envy. Nearly ten years together. A loving husband. Not a single fight between them. At least, none that Grace can remember. But after a terrifying late-night incident leaves her with an impossible object and no explanation for how it got there, Grace begins searching for answers. Every new clue, however, seems to contradict something she knows about herself, her husband, or the life they've built together. Soon, one unsettling question becomes impossible to ignore: What if their marriage isn't perfect because they've never had anything to fight about—but because Grace has been made to forget?Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

This week on Drew Blood’s Dark Tales, author William Dalphin presents “A Tiller of the Ground,” a haunting tale of childhood terror, religious conviction, family secrets, and the terrible danger of being absolutely certain you know where evil resides. On an isolated family farm, faith runs deep, obedience is expected, and the difference between good and evil seems as clear as heaven and hell. For one young boy, there is no safer place than home. He has loving parents, an older brother he idolizes, and the certainty that God watches over those who remain faithful. But when something impossible begins moving through the fields after dark, that certainty starts to crumble. The old scarecrow has stood watch over the crops for generations. By daylight, it is nothing more than burlap, discarded clothes, and straw. At night, however, the boy becomes convinced that something is hiding behind its black button eyes—and that whatever has come to his family’s farm has designs on the people he loves most.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

For more than twenty years, the Savage family has carved out a life beyond civilization, hidden deep within the Rocky Mountains where survival depends on hard work, faith, and absolute trust in one another. But isolation has a way of preserving more than traditions. As old convictions collide with new dreams, grief begins to poison everything the family once held sacred. In a place where the wilderness keeps its own secrets, loyalty can become a prison, devotion can become obsession, and escaping the past may prove far more terrifying than facing it.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
