    NINE II MIDNIGHT - Prologue

    NINE II MIDNIGHT - Prologue

    On the Eve of Halloween, 14 storytellers make their way to the Darklight Carnival and share horrific tales of mystery and murder… but not all is as it seems.
    This October 30th, the feed you’re listening to now, along with all other participating shows, will post two episodes simultaneously for Nine II Midnight. One episode will feature tales that are baked in reality with terrors that may be a part of our waking life. The other episode will share the horror of the most esoteric and spiritual side of the dark and terrifying.
    NINE II MIDNIGHT is another collaborative storytelling event, and sequel to last year’s episode. Both episodes are comprised of stories written and produced by the Nine II Midnight participants:
    Hell Gate City
    Malevolent
    Nowhere, On Air
    Out of the Ashes
    Parkdale Haunt
    The Cellar Letters
    The Dead Letter Office of Somewhere, Ohio
    The Night Post
    The Storage Papers
    The Town Whispers
    Wake Of Corrosion
    WOE.BEGONE
    On October 30th, you get to choose which stories you want to enjoy first, then, make sure to listen to the other for the complete tale.
    See you then.

A big fan! :] ,

The blanket never did anything.

Hi! Big fan here and I just finished season three. I just couldn’t wait to write a review. The amount of new phobias I’ve gained from this podcast is astounding and it’s even reawakened by crippling fear of the dark lol. But in all seriousness this podcast is amazing and I’m so glad to have found it. The horror and mystery is balanced out in a way that fits so well that most don’t! Can’t wait to listen and hopefully finish before the sequel comes out

Ceaseless Watcher

This is my favourite show. I cannot wait for the Magnus Protocol because this show was crafted with so much love and care. The writing is on point and I love all the characters so much. I hope the Magnus Protocol comes from the same place of creativity.
Please listen to this show.
Jonathan Sims thank you so much for writing this show. It means so much to me.

Amazing bar one thing

Absolutely love this series! Nearly at the end and will definitely be re-listening!

My only issue is that I cannot understand a word that Jarod says. It’s too croaky and broken and I just cannot work out what he says. Really annoyed as when we meet him, it seems to be at crucial places so I feel like I may be missing a lot of info 🙈
