Tonight, I am excited to share with you another story from Darren Todd, the author behind such tales as “Father Christmas” and “8 Ball”!

Our yarn tonight follows an entrepreneur who has devised a special scheme to help increase sales during the circus shows where he sells his wares. But his scheme has not gone unnoticed, and one evening a man in a suit arrives with a proposition.

This story is called “Light-up Guys”, and was written by Darren Todd.

Tonight, we shall meander leisurely through one of Poe’s most fun stories: The Cask of Amontillado! Allow me to set the stage.

It is night. We are on a city street, and there are partygoers and revelers out in force. Many people are wearing masks, and the wine is flowing freely. Let us zoom in on a quieter corner, and there we find a man standing alone—but wait! He’s not alone. For here comes a boisterous oaf, stumbling his way through the crowd in spite of his wine goggles. It turns out that this will be a meeting that neither man will soon forget.

This story is called “The Cask of Amontillado” and was written by Edgar Allen Poe

Tonight, we’ll hear the thrilling conclusion to A.G. Hilton’s Nameless!

In our last episode, our protagonist was visited by a mysterious stranger, who claims that evil things are happening at the facility where he works. The two form something of a plan, before our protagonist succumbs to a sudden and violent headache which causes him to pass out.

Now we’ll discover where ~true~ evil lies, and I assure you it will be —quite literally— unforgettable.

"Nameless" was written by A.G. Hilton.

Tonight, we’ll find out a little more about what is going on at that mysterious facility from parts 1 and 2!

Our protagonist has stumbled home after another long week of lonely night shifts, and is catching up on sleep. When lo and behold, there is a rap-rap-rapping upon his front door. The mysterious visitor claims to know all about the hidden secrets at the facility.

It seems that not everything is as it seems at face value, or perhaps I should say that EVERYTHING is not as it seems at face value.

Tonight, we’ll embark on a three episode thrill ride, brought to us by A.G. Hilton himself!

Our story opens on a job interview, in which our protagonist has secured a new job! Hurrah and congratulations! Only a few notes here- the facility where he works is very clandestine about what exactly they do, and his sole responsibility is to keep an eye on a camera feed showing a single shipping container.

What could be inside, and why the need for such secrecy?!

Tonight, we’ll hear the story of a very magical Christmas indeed!

Natalie is in the first grade, and her Christmas wish list only has 4 things on it. You see, life has been tough since moving into her new step-dad’s house with her mom—there isn’t enough money to even keep the heat on, never mind a big tree with plenty of gifts.

But Natalie wrote a letter to Santa himself, and with the help of a little Christmas magic, some dreams just might come true.

"The Shadow" was written by Edith Nesbit

Tonight, we’ll drop in on our stranded sailors as they try to find their way through the Queen Elizabeth, and get back to dry land!

In the first part of this story, the crew of a small fishing vessel was beset by a sudden and violent storm while at sea, and their boat suffered irreparable damage. Luckily for them, an enormous abandoned ocean liner drifted toward them through the storm.

They abandoned their ship and sought shelter aboard the Queen Elizabeth. But the question that hangs in the air is whether or not they’re entirely ALONE on that boat.

This story is called My crew and I are stuck aboard an abandoned ship. Can you help us? (Part 2) and was written by JLGoodwin1990
