Scary Stories Whispered in the RainUtseende & The Garden of Unearthly DelightsTune in for an eerie escape into the uncanny. In this episode, I share two chilling tales that blend folklore and dark imagination. First, Utseende by Arnoldo Millan Zubia takes us to a quiet village in Mexico, where something unsettling lurks beneath the surface—haunting the narrator, the hotel where he works, and the town surrounding it. Then, in The Garden of Unearthly Delights by Lena Ng, enter a lush, mysterious garden where beauty and hard work masks danger.All songs and background noises are licensed by Pond 5 or StoryBlocks.Please consider supporting the podcast at...2025-06-2719 minScary Stories Whispered in the RainDouble Feature: We Don't Talk About That and Even DeathThis evening's episode, we explore the fragile spaces between the living and the dead—where secrets linger, and love endures in unexpected forms and through the dreams of memory and loss..
