Drew Blood's Dark Tales — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Podcast

Gillean Rush has everything a rock star could want: sold-out arenas, endless indulgence, and a career that seems destined to burn forever. There is only one problem. None of it truly belongs to him. After a triumphant performance, Gil is approached by a stranger in a spotless white suit with forty thousand dollars, an irresistible proposition, and the promise of freedom from the manager who made him famous. But as Gillean may soon discover, some contracts cannot be broken, and some gift comes with conditions buried deep in the fine print.

At Forest Oaks, repairs are temporary, complaints are ignored, and the tenants have learned not to expect much from management. For Dale, the complex’s new maintenance man, the job is only something to endure until better work comes along. Then he receives a request from apartment 11-A. BeBe Evans needs her thermostat fixed—and insists the temperature must remain precisely seventy degrees so she can continue observing her universe. The other residents call her “Crazy God Lady.” BeBe claims the title is more accurate than they realize. Dale dismisses her warnings, mocks her promises, and leaves the repair unfinished. But when impossible things begin appearing around the complex, he is forced to wonder whether the woman in white is truly delusional—or whether he has offended something capable of governing life, death, and what comes afterward.

On the outskirts of Nobility, Texas, Colt makes his living buying and selling the things respectable people pretend they don’t want. Guns, drugs, stolen goods—everything has a price at Colt’s Junk, provided the local police receive their share.

Colt expects the grotesque discovery to earn him a small fortune. But after nightfall, the corpse begins to move—and its damaged limbs seem to be asking for help. When satisfying its needs brings an extraordinary change in Colt’s luck, a single illicit purchase becomes the foundation of a far more horrifying enterprise.

Taking responsibility for her recovery, he welcomes Collette into his own home, hoping that patience and kindness can help her reclaim the life stolen from her. But Collette remembers things no one can explain.

Kevin Loomis has turned ruined houses into an empire. With a television show, a recognizable brand, and an instinct for extracting profit from other people’s misfortunes, he has earned the nickname “King Loomis—the Friendly Flipper.” His latest acquisition could be his greatest triumph yet: an abandoned cabin buried deep in the Louisiana bayou, purchased for the unbelievable price of five hundred dollars. It may be overflowing with decades of hoarded belongings, but beneath the decay, Kevin sees exactly what he always sees—a payday. Then he discovers that the cabin isn’t empty.

For Paul, the lonely truck stop glowing in the darkness should be a welcome sight—a chance for gas, coffee, and maybe a slice of pecan pie before getting back on the road.

And when newly installed security cameras reveal how it arrived, the handful of strangers inside the diner suddenly have a much bigger problem than reaching the next town.

Every new clue, however, seems to contradict something she knows about herself, her husband, or the life they've built together.

This week on Drew Blood’s Dark Tales, author William Dalphin presents “A Tiller of the Ground,” a haunting tale of childhood terror, religious conviction, family secrets, and the terrible danger of being absolutely certain you know where evil resides. On an isolated family farm, faith runs deep, obedience is expected, and the difference between good and evil seems as clear as heaven and hell. For one young boy, there is no safer place than home. He has loving parents, an older brother he idolizes, and the certainty that God watches over those who remain faithful. But when something impossible begins moving through the fields after dark, that certainty starts to crumble. The old scarecrow has stood watch over the crops for generations. By daylight, it is nothing more than burlap, discarded clothes, and straw. At night, however, the boy becomes convinced that something is hiding behind its black button eyes—and that whatever has come to his family’s farm has designs on the people he loves most.

For more than twenty years, the Savage family has carved out a life beyond civilization, hidden deep within the Rocky Mountains where survival depends on hard work, faith, and absolute trust in one another. But isolation has a way of preserving more than traditions. As old convictions collide with new dreams, grief begins to poison everything the family once held sacred. In a place where the wilderness keeps its own secrets, loyalty can become a prison, devotion can become obsession, and escaping the past may prove far more terrifying than facing it.
