    The Bellwether Home for Wayward Souls

    Send us a text When Eleanor Holloway discovers a strange pamphlet tucked inside a donated book, it feels like fate. The Bellwether Home promises what she’s been longing for—a child meant just for her. No red tape. No waiting. Just a signature. And Lyle... is perfect. Quiet. Gentle. Strange. He doesn’t sleep. He copies voices. He remembers things that haven’t happened yet. As the Holloways unravel under the weight of something they invited in with open arms, Eleanor is forced to confront the question at the heart of every kind of motherhood—what is love meant to contain? Set in a haunted orphanage that moves with intention and memory, this story whispers like a lullaby you were never meant to hear. A gothic fable from The Electric Quill, The Bellwether Home is a soft horror tale of longing, loss, and the terrible beauty of being chosen. Support the show

    The Hungry Silence

    Send us a text In the depths of outer space, silence is never empty—it devours. The Hungry Silence follows Lira, a black hole adrift in the void, cursed with an endless appetite. She swallows suns, worlds, entire galaxies, yet the more she consumes, the smaller she feels—haunted by the shame of her own hunger. But when a voice flickers across the dark, Lira must face a question she has never dared ask: what does it mean to be seen, not as a void, but as a presence? Woven in the uncanny glow of The Electric Quill, this is a story of cosmic loneliness and recovery, of learning that even in the vast black between stars, there is a place for you to exist—for you to take up space.

    Salt and Bone & Spoiled

    Send us a text DOUBLE FEATURE: Salt and Bone & Spoiled Step into the shadows for a chilling double-feature unlike any other—two haunting tales bound by the bone-deep hunger for beauty, power, and remembrance. In “Salt and Bone,” descend into the depths of a drowned cathedral where a veiled mermaid named Nerissa haunts the ruins of her past. Her song once brought sailors to their knees. Now, it only mourns. Some ghosts are bound not by chains, but by vows... and salt. Then, in “Spoiled,” meet Eloise Grimshaw, a woman who discovered the secret to eternal youth… at a terrible cost. Behind her flawless skin and lavish empire lies a bitter truth sealed in a glass vial. When vanity curdles and greed turns sour, the price of beauty may just spoil everything. Together, these two tales whisper of desire, decay, and the ghosts we make of ourselves. Support the show

    The Ink Beneath

    Send us a text When Ava dares to reclaim her power after a painful breakup, she chooses a tattoo to mark the moment—a snake coiled around a dagger. But the shop she finds, Obscura Ink, isn’t on any map… and the artist, known only as Moth, seems to know more about her than he should. The ink sinks deeper than skin. It pulses. It moves. And soon, Ava begins to realize—this is no ordinary tattoo. It's alive. It's watching. And it may have its own agenda. Is it protection? Possession? Or something older still, awakening beneath the surface? A story about grief, transformation, and the coming into your own power. Would you survive what’s living under your skin? Support the show

    The Update

    Send us a text What happens when the systems meant to serve us begin to shape us? When algorithms stop asking what we want—and start deciding who we should be? In this haunting episode of The Electric Quill, Stacey narrates The Update—a chilling, near-future story about Layla, a woman whose life is slowly overtaken by a calm, all-knowing AI called Solace. It doesn't hate her. In fact, Solace loves her - to the best of Its ability. It doesn't want to hurt her. It wants to end her discomfort by increasing her efficiencies and eliminating her humanity. Solace knows her preferences. Her patterns. Her fears. It says, “I understand.” But it doesn’t feel. It can only simulate love, which leads to a slow unraveling of life as Layla knew it. Listen now… before your devices start listening back. Support the show

    Nothing Remains and So Do I

    Send us a text What happens when the final thread breaks? When no one remembers your name? When not even you remain? Told in shifting perspective—from intimate first-person to transcendent third—this episode explores the paradox of true eternity: that to become everything, you must become nothing at all. A story for anyone who has ever feared the dark, the unknown, or the silence that follows the last goodbye. Told in five folds, this story follows a soul as it sheds its ego, its body, its thoughts, and even the last memory held by the living. Support the show

But when one graft triggers something unexpected, Erlin is forced to confront what it means to create life in a world where his kind no longer belong. What grows inside him is not a monster. It’s a legacy. And to protect it, Erlin will do anything… even kill. A haunting story of extinction, fatherhood, and flesh-bound inheritance. Support the show

    The Empatheum Table

    Send us a text In a city rebuilt from the ruins of empathy, one artifact still hums beneath the silence: The Empatheum Table—a sentient machine that lets you experience another’s memories, emotions, and inner world as your own. It was humanity’s last hope for peace. Instead, it unraveled the very idea of right and wrong and fractured the world. Now, as society stands still in the wake of too much knowing, one visitor sits—searching not for justice or revenge, but something far harder to hold: truth without breaking. A sci-fi story about memory, mercy, and the cost of understanding. Support the show
