Tonight, we’ll hear the story of a very magical Christmas indeed!

Natalie is in the first grade, and her Christmas wish list only has 4 things on it. You see, life has been tough since moving into her new step-dad’s house with her mom—there isn’t enough money to even keep the heat on, never mind a big tree with plenty of gifts.

But Natalie wrote a letter to Santa himself, and with the help of a little Christmas magic, some dreams just might come true.

This story is called “Father Christmas” and was written by Darren Todd

Tonight, we’ll drop in on our stranded sailors as they try to find their way through the Queen Elizabeth, and get back to dry land!

In the first part of this story, the crew of a small fishing vessel was beset by a sudden and violent storm while at sea, and their boat suffered irreparable damage. Luckily for them, an enormous abandoned ocean liner drifted toward them through the storm.

They abandoned their ship and sought shelter aboard the Queen Elizabeth. But the question that hangs in the air is whether or not they’re entirely ALONE on that boat.

Tonight, we’ll take to the sea, me hearties!

Yes, we’ll follow a fishing boat as it sails into deep waters looking for a good catch. The crew of The Point of no Return certainly catches something, but it’s a real beast of a storm that blows in suddenly and leaves them taking on water.

Luckily for them, a huge ship drifts toward them through the storm. But no one is hailing, and the ship seems eerily still. But hey, any port in a storm, right?!

Tonight, we’ll delve into the strange case of a woman who suddenly and inexplicably begins to show symptoms of decomposition, despite being very much alive.

Her boyfriend begins to notice some things are… OFF, to put it lightly, and things only devolve from there.

Allow me to give you a warning now—much of the horror in this one is descriptive and situational. To put it another way, this one blends horror and disgust more than horror and fear or terror. So if you’d rather not feel revulsion at the moment, come on back when you’re ready!

This story is called My Girlfriend is Rotting Alive, and was written by V. Admiral

Tonight, we’ll take a little trip to the former tourist attraction that is The Salton Sea.

The story behind this location is a long one to tell, and tonight’s story will cover some of it, but imagine a fading community centered around a once beautiful lake, whose shores are now marred by toxic clouds, high salinity and farming chemicals.

Not many things still live in the Salton Sea, but there is one thing you should be aware of. It stalks the shorelines around dark, and it fixes you in place with its sickly yellow stare.

Tonight, we’ll hear another story from Kris West, author of The Whisper Tree series!

Our story follows an ordinary suburban man who takes his dog out for a walk behind schedule one night after a late dinner, he discovers his elderly neighbor shuffling down to the town junkyard. Innocent enough.

But he notices that his old neighbor makes the same trip every night, and is always carrying something which he delivers to a mysterious somebody, or something that lives in the junkyard.

This story is called Old Jasper Keeps Visiting the Town Junkyard, and was written by Kris West.

Denizens of the night, welcome to another episode of the macabre; the terrifying.
