Malls were made for browsing, for losing track of time beneath fluorescent lights and echoing music. But in this week’s episode of Horror Hill, some places are better left behind—and some corners of the mall were never meant to be found. Join host Erik Peabody as he guides you through two chilling tales from Jason Fischer, whose new collection The Haunting of Towne Point Mall peels back the peeling vinyl and flickering bulbs to reveal something far more sinister behind the storefronts. In one story, a quiet shop owner discovers that some customers don’t just linger—they return. In the other, a forgotten employee in a basement office finds himself tangled in something much older than corporate neglect. Step inside… but be warned: in these stories, the exit signs don’t always lead out.  Get 50% plus free shipping on your first box at https://www.factormeals.com/horror50off To watch the podcast on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/ChillingEntertainmentYT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/HorrorHillPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!
