A painful breakup has left one lonely bibliophile searching for companionship and a fresh start. A local book club seems like the perfect answer—until a visit to a flea-market bookstore places a cracked, leather-bound volume in his hands. Hidden inside is a folding Ouija board and a peculiar rhyme calling upon something known as the Mummer Man. Most of the group considers it harmless fun. Their host, Tara, is not so certain. When the chant ends and she sees a figure approaching through the cottage, skepticism gives way to terror—and the familiar rooms around them begin to obey a far more sinister set of rules.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
A university logo, a few Halloween decorations, and a generous cash prize make Fright Club look like an easy challenge. For one skeptical student and his friend Jesse, a hundred-dollar side bet makes entering irresistible. The rules are simple: no heart conditions, no leaving before the bell, and nothing follows you out. Then the lights go out. Their phones stop working, something begins scraping in the darkness, and the pumpkin in the middle of the room feels disturbingly warm beneath a searching hand. As a campus competition becomes an ordeal he can no longer explain, the student must decide how far he is willing to go for answers—and whether the people running Fright Club ever intended to let its contestants walk away.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
Three friends arrive in Nepal determined to conquer Mera Peak before their vacation days run out. They have climbing experience, a tight budget, and every reason to believe the warnings about an off-season ascent are overly cautious. Clear skies and easy progress seem to prove them right. Then the snow begins, an injury slows their pace, and one of them claims a stranger has been watching him sleep inside his tent. There are no unfamiliar tracks outside, and his companions are reluctant to believe him. But as visibility dwindles and the distance between the climbers grows, the possibility that someone is following them becomes harder to dismiss. High on the mountain, with the weather closing in, they must decide how much they can trust one another—and what they are willing to believe before it is too late.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
For fifty-two years, Silas and Emma have shared a life in the West Virginia mountains. These days, their pleasures are quiet ones: evening tea, familiar conversation, and sunsets watched from the back deck. Then, one September night, Silas discovers a yellow carousel standing in the empty field behind their home. There are no fairgrounds nearby. No visitors have come up the mountain. Yet the scent of cotton candy drifts across the grass, and the beautifully carved deer seem to promise a happiness he thought he had outgrown. Silas takes a ride. Before long, he is waiting for every sunset—and keeping a secret from the woman who knows him best. As Emma searches for a way to reach her increasingly distant husband, the coyotes gather beyond the house, and something wonderful becomes harder to leave behind.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
DreamShare promises the ultimate escape: a world built from imagination, where friends can share impossible adventures, abandoned dreams can become reality, and the limits of waking life no longer apply. For Evan Delaney, it begins as everything the advertisements promised. Each night offers another breathtaking world and another reason to leave ordinary life behind. Then an unfamiliar man appears inside a private dream—watching Evan, following him, and uncovering memories no stranger should possess. Soon, pieces of Evan’s subconscious begin surfacing in the waking world. People know his secrets. The application refuses to remain deleted. And the mysterious visitor makes it clear that Evan’s dreams no longer belong to him. To reclaim his mind, Evan must uncover what DreamShare is truly collecting—and confront the presence waiting beneath its most beautiful illusions. But in a world where consciousness has become the ultimate commodity, waking up may no longer be enough to escape.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
For as long as Joan can remember, her brother has wanted to make great films. What began with a childhood camera has hardened into an obsession—one fueled by arrogance, cruelty, and an insatiable appetite for increasingly disturbing material. Then he hears about Better Films. Spoken of in nervous whispers throughout the industry, Better Films is said to distribute its productions only on VHS. Those who have watched them refuse to describe what they saw. Its scarred representatives arrive without warning, and its history may reach further back than cinema itself. Joan wants nothing to do with the investigation, but years of manipulation have left her trapped beneath her brother’s control. As his search draws the attention of the people behind Better Films, she is forced across a boundary where suffering becomes performance, cameras are never as passive as they appear, and the difference between documenting horror and participating in it begins to disappear.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
Years after escaping the masked stranger who imprisoned her, Zella travels to the prison where he is serving his sentence. She tells herself she has come to prove that he no longer owns any part of her. But the scars covering her body are not the only things she carried out of that basement. Something lives inside Zella, something hungry enough to sense the darkness clinging to everyone around her and patient enough to wait for the smallest fracture in her resolve. As memories of captivity, manipulation, and forbidden rites begin forcing their way to the surface, Zella must confront a terrifying possibility: returning to her captor may not have been entirely her decision.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
At Forest Oaks, repairs are temporary, complaints are ignored, and the tenants have learned not to expect much from management. For Dale, the complex’s new maintenance man, the job is only something to endure until better work comes along. Then he receives a request from apartment 11-A. BeBe Evans needs her thermostat fixed—and insists the temperature must remain precisely seventy degrees so she can continue observing her universe. The other residents call her “Crazy God Lady.” BeBe claims the title is more accurate than they realize. Dale dismisses her warnings, mocks her promises, and leaves the repair unfinished. But when impossible things begin appearing around the complex, he is forced to wonder whether the woman in white is truly delusional—or whether he has offended something capable of governing life, death, and what comes afterward.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
