About this listen

Iron Monkey presents: The Lazaretto Letters

A weekly horror podcast.

A found collection of unmailed, handwritten letters from 1922, read aloud for the first time in over a century.

Within their pages lie tales of horror, the supernatural, mystery, and the bizarre. Some letters piece together a larger, hidden truth…an unsettling puzzle that unfolds across the series. Others stand alone, offering eerie glimpses into the strange and terrifying events that plagued the quarantine island.
