This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

I'll start off with a quick reminder that Tales to Terrify is once again in the running for the annual People's Choice Podcast Awards.

But as July winds to an end, so too does your chance to cast a vote.

And of course, being the People's Choice Awards means we don't stand a chance without you.

Luckily, casting your vote is dead simple. Head over to podcastawards.com, hit the blue,

click here to vote button, and follow the prompts from there. You'll find tales to terrify in the fiction category, and we'd kill for you to throw a ballot in for us. Seriously, send me your

hit list, and if we win, I'll see what I can do. Again, that's podcastawards.com. Ultimately, any vote for tales to

terrify isn't just for the podcast itself. It's a vote for the twisted creative works of the

narrators and writers that we have the privilege to share with you each and every week.

Tales that chill you, unnerve you, and, hopefully, make you check under the bed every now and then before climbing in.

Speaking of chilling tales, the rusted iron gates of our submission platform are beginning to quiver.

And you know what that means?

That otherworldly portal is very close to opening.

But the horrible sustenance it craves after waking has a very specific flavor this time,

for the appetizer at least, haunted houses.

Why are good haunted house stories so hard to come by these days?

Or is that just me?
