Legends 81: Undertaken

About this episode

The episode explores the intersection of fear, fiction, and truth in horror storytelling.

One of the most common fears we have is also the product of centuries of fiction mixed with a dash of truth. The result is a genre of storytelling that is truly horrifying. Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Alex Robinson and research by Sam Alberty . ————————— PRE-ORDER EXHUMED TODAY: aaronmahnke.com/exhumed ————————— Lore Resources: Get Ad-Free Lore: lorepodcast.com/support Episode Music: lorepodcast.com/music Episode Sources: lorepodcast.com/sources Official Lore Merchandise: lorepodcast.com/shop ————————— Sponsors: Casper : Right now, save up to 20% on mattresses when you go to Casper.com.
