For All The Fans of Creepy Podcasts

1. The NoSleep Podcast

The first podcast on our list might be the current champion of horror fiction podcasts (at least in this writer’s opinion). Starting with

stories on Reddit.com’s /r/nosleep, a forum for folks to share first-person horror tales, David Cummings and his crew of bump-in-the-night makers share stories in a POV that makes you believe that maybe, just maybe, these things might have happened. Everything is true on NoSleep, right? Beware!

2. Irrational Fears Podcast

Posting out of HorrorFictionBlog.com, Anthony Luciano presents new terrifying tales for listeners as well as some classic creepy stories that have been floating the internet for years.

3. Lore

Aaron Mahnke solos this amazing podcast to not only horrify, but to educate. If you’re the type who wants to learn a little

bit while you get creeped out, this is the perfect podcast for you. Each episode, Aaron breaks down a theme in the horror genre and tells the listener about its background and some seriously freaky details about the mythology – or “lore” – around the theme.He also just announced that the podcast will soon be coming to the small screen, so if podcasts aren’t your thing, you can get your Lore fix via television! Everybody wins!

4. Night Fears Podcast

Jethro Arola sets up the chills in his podcast, Night Fears. This podcast may not have the listening audience that NoSleep or Lore has, but he certainly has the stories that are bound to keep you up at night (even a few by yours truly!). The podcast is well put together and Jethro is easy to listen to, even if he is describing some truly terror-based plots. Definitely one to check out!

5. Small Town Horror

A newcomer to the scene, Smalltown Horror’s bi-weekly podcast is breaking out like they were trapped in Crazytown…which is ironic because, well, that is essentially what the story is. Without giving away too much, you can follow Ryan Jennings as he searching for answers around “Crayton” which has a sign as you enter that has been aptly modified by a large “Z” between the “A” and the “Y”. If you haven’t heard them yet, you still have time to catch up! Hurry to it while it is still only a few episodes deep!
