Summary
What would you give to escape pain? To reclaim what you lost? To rise above your station? In this chilling collection of tales, the price of survival isn’t measured in dollars—but in flesh, faith, memory, and the pieces of ourselves we never thought we’d part with. Join hosts Malcolm Blackwood and Otis Jiry as they guide you through five harrowing stories where bargains are struck, boundaries crossed, and something in the dark keeps the ledger. From forgotten places and fractured minds to unnatural hungers and sacred desecrations, each tale asks the same question: What will you sacrifice… when the cost finally comes due?
