Tonight, you’re not a hero, a villain, or even a particularly interesting footnote. You’re just a traveler — tired, hungry, and walking the wrong trail at the wrong time. The inn ahead looks like salvation: a warm fire, a hot meal, a kind smile. But this is Kansas in the 1870s. And the Bloody Benders are home.

This slow, immersive descent follows your final journey down the Osage Trail and into the arms of America’s first serial killer family. With calm narration, grim detail, and bitter historical accuracy, you’ll experience the quiet horror of a world where law doesn’t reach and politeness might just kill you.

So lie back. Get comfortable. And don’t mind the curtain behind your chair.
