Summary

When the world has fallen silent and the last embers of daylight fade, even the faintest shadow can learn to whisper. In this haunting episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, host Steve Taylor guides listeners through a landscape where hope flickers, memory haunts, and the darkness is never as far away as it seems. Featuring “Melancholy” by Jasyn Turley — winner of the October Writing Challenge — this broadcast plunges into the ruins of a civilization where the mind becomes its own battlefield. Performed by Nick Goroff with immersive sound design by Brad Parsons, it’s a tale that lingers like the last breath of sunset: quiet, sorrowful, and unrelenting. Turn down the lights. Hold your lantern close. Beyond the reach of the sun, you’ll find out what waits… where daylight ends.
