If you grew up in the 1990s, there’s a good chance your first real brush with horror didn’t come from movies — it came from books hidden in school libraries and book fairs.
In this bonus episode of Echoes in the Dark, host John Keaser Jr. explores the lasting impact of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark era — not by reading the stories, but by examining why they worked, why the illustrations haunted us, and why childhood horror lingers longer than adult fear.
This episode dives into:
No jump scares.
No retellings.
Just the quiet dread that never really went away.
Echoes in the Dark blends original horror fiction, deep reflection, and genre exploration for listeners who prefer atmosphere over shock and stories that stay with you long after the episode ends.
