• Tales From the Blue Line - Room 312
    Mar 10 2026

    When Marian Keller’s roommates vanish from their hospital beds and the staff insists she’s been alone since admission, she realizes the surgery isn't the greatest threat—it’s the hospital's terrifying ability to erase a life without leaving a trace.


    Tales From The Blue Line: Every morning at three, Mason and Ally ride the Blue Line into downtown Chicago together. The train brings out its own brand of weird, which has led to Mason and Ally trading spooky stories to help their commute pass a little faster.

    Feb 26 2026

    When Fred and Alice stumble upon a bright red flying saucer in the woods, they discover that the greatest obstacle to proving an alien invasion isn’t the government—it’s the pilot’s remarkably convincing ability to exchange “Venusian” currency for twenty-dollar bills.

  • The Night Signal - Exactly Where You Need To Be
    Feb 24 2026

    When a skeptic’s GPS begins forcing her onto eerie, out-of-time detours, she discovers that her navigator isn't just avoiding traffic—it’s navigating the "outcomes" of her life.


    The Night Signal by Auditory Anthology


    Somewhere on the AM dial, long after most people have gone to sleep, late-night radio host Marianne Caldwell opens the phone lines. Callers bring stories. Encounters. Moments that don’t quite fit into daylight explanations.
