About this episode
A psych ward descends into mayhem when a man finds out he's not the only one having a bad day.
A psych ward descends into mayhem when a man finds out he's not the only one having a bad day. This is a rewritten and remastered version of a previous story of mine. Much, much better writing and audio quality. This story comes from my newest book "You Are Not Alone." It is a collection of psychological horror short stories. It is available in paperback and Kindle via Amazon, which you can get here: https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Not-Alone-Stories/dp/B0FT8LJJHD If you want to check out the book first, or can't get it for financial or ideological reasons (I get it, it's Amazon), I offer a free PDF copy of the book you can get by requesting to the email youarenotalonebook2025@gmail.com
