Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories

A man with a past he won't discuss buys a house deep in the woods, miles from anyone, and starts keeping a record of what comes out of the trees at night; the one he calls Skinny wears the faces of the dead, and it's already carved a message into the side of his house.

Three MicroTerrors listeners wrote in with their own scary stories: a girl who sneaks out at night to see the T-Rex every parent in town warns about, a free doll on the sidewalk that introduces itself as Mr. Stevenson, and a family cruise with nothing but one-star reviews and something big moving under the boat.

She claimed she could predict your death to the exact day — and somehow, she was always correct. But how did she know?

FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Tillie Klimek had been convicted of only a single murder, but the authorities suspected that she had killed many more, including her three husbands. (Chicago’s Constant Widow) *** The batteries of numerous vehicles in a family’s driveway all go dead at the same time. Two at the same time might be a coincidence. Three would be suspicious. Four dead batteries – combined with the sighting of a shadow person and other bizarre experiences… that has got to be supernatural. (Dead Battery) *** The case had gone cold some say because of police corruption and a cover-up, but is heating up again now as a new sheriff discovers long-hidden evidence. We’ll look inside the Keddie Murders. (The Quadruple Homicide at Cabin 28) *** Extraterrestrials… and the government. It seems you can’t have one without the other. (The Politics of the UFO)

On Friday, September 11th, three weeks before anyone could buy it, I played the entire audiobook of my new book live on Patreon, start to finish, with the chat open the whole time.  Something I only do for my Patreon members! https://weirddarkness.com/patreon 

Since 1997, young men have walked out of bars alone and turned up in rivers. Two retired New York detectives say it's a serial killer network, and that police have been calling murder an accident. The FBI says there's no evidence any of it is connected. THE CONCRETE SMILED gives that theory its best case, at full strength, and then checks it against the record. Ninety-five sources, and every claim traced back to where it came from.

THE BOOK OFFICIALLY RELEASES OCTOBER 1ST for Kindle, paperback, and audiobook on Amazon, with the Kindle edition up for pre-order now. Cover, description, and the full linked source list are athttps://weirddarkness.com/concretesmiled
