About this episode

This episode features two contrasting horror stories exploring themes of revenge and unresolved emotions.

Two tales. Two very different nightmares. And two reckonings waiting in the darkness. In our latest episode, we journey from the blood-soaked wilderness to the quiet corridors of grief, pairing Jack Finn’s savage tale of supernatural retribution, “The Hunters,” with Ambrose Ibsen’s melancholy ghost story of love and regret, “The Smell of Old Paper.” One story asks what happens when nature finally gets its revenge. The other asks whether the things we leave unsaid ever truly leave us. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
