Trey Leger has spent a lifetime of battling mental illness and the imaginary demons from his childhood. Even now, years later and with a growing family, he still can’t walk past an open, darkened closet without seeing...it.

The shadowy silhouette. The burning emerald eyes. The Closet Man.

Now, there's a new ice cream truck roaming the neighborhood and Trey believes its driver is a monster. While the neighborhood children see a friendly man serving the treats, Trey sees a frightful demon behind the wheel.

With burning yellow eyes. The Ice Cream Man.

But is this real, or just another symptom of his ever-present struggles with balancing his medications?

While battling his growing uncertainty of reality, Trey investigates to determine if the creature is merely a symptom of his mental illness...or something far more terrifying.

Nominated for the 2011 Parsec Award Best Novel, "Closet Treats" is filled with harrowing imagery and monstrous dread.

Gripping, Bone Chilling Story

Even though I've heard this before I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, can't wait for the next episode to drop! Love all of Paul's stories. Thanks Paul

True horror!

Closet Treats stands out from other horror podcasts due to great writing and quality recordings. I found the story very suspenseful and chilling, sometimes downright terrifying. I don't want to look in a dark closet ever again.

Excellent

Subscribed to this on a whim, I liked the title and figured I'd give it a shot.
Wow, I'm glad I did. Very well written story and the narration by the author is excellent.

This podcast is on par with the likes of Scott Sigler, JC Hutchins, Phil Rossi, et al, and Paul belongs in that exclusive club.

Looking forward to Paul's other podcast books.
