Hey there, if you're not following me on Twitter at Dark Prevails, you're missing out on some cool stuff,

like announcements to the exciting new horror novels, Erie Cast will be publishing soon,

one of which should release on Halloween this year, as well as my drama with YouTube,

whose bots apparently thought I said a super naughty word in my most recent video,

even though I don't use those kinds of naughty words. So yeah, follow me at Dark Prevails if you want,

or just keep tuning into the show as usual, otherwise you might become deficient in nightmares,

a very important nutrient. This week I've got a new compilation over four hours long,

featuring non-stop middle of nowhere horror stories. Enjoy and be sure to send me your scary

stories at darkstories.org so I can narrate them. And try searching Erie Cast on your favorite

podcast app to find more scary podcasts like this. Now let's begin.
