The Archivist

Found tapes. Cursed objects. Things that recorded themselves. The Dread Tapes is a fictional horror anthology, collected and presented by The Archivist. Every series is a different set of recordings that should not exist: calls from an empty store, a dorm room's last night, broadcasts that answer back, nightmares that leave marks in the real world. All stories are original fiction. All voices are AI-generated. Every episode is labeled. New tapes surface when the archive decides. Best with headphones. Start with Tape Zero. Then let the archive decide where you go next.
