The Long Night

Fiction
Arts
Drama

Tales told after midnight. Every Monday and Thursday, Mortimer settles in to tell you a story — of the warm pew in an empty church, the lighthouse keeper who snuffed his own lamp, the music box that plays only when no one is listening, and the last train out of Harrow's End. Standalone horror fiction, 15–20 minutes per episode, best heard with the lights on. The night is long... and it's listening.

The Ninth Pew

A new pastor takes his seat in a mysteriously warm church pew — and is pulled into memory-dreams that end at an ancient, eyeless entity feeding on grief.
