PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Since its debut in 2016, Hank & Cleaver’s The Other Stories Podcast has told the masses hundreds of creepy, twisted and downright scary stories. Over 5 years and millions of downloads, the pod has acquired quite a following, chilling spines with its short but intense tales. Now we’ve heard that the best of these stories are being turned into a book which will be available this summer.
Not content with just the ears, now the beast wants your eyes. Please, if you’re reading this, the writers are very sorry. Try not to let your eyeballs get sucked into the pages. That’s what it wants.
Synopsis:
These aren’t the stories your mother used to tell you… no, these are The Other Stories. The Other Stories is a weekly short story podcast.

Daniel Willcocks had this to say:
“We’re beyond excited to bring our infamous brand of world-class horror to our avid listeners in this sleek new collection. After almost six years of working together on The Other Stories podcast, what better way to showcase the stories that have taken the podcast world by storm?”
The Other Stories Best Of Collection features 30 of the show’s best stories, featuring gristly horror, mind-bending sci-fi, and thrilling gut-rippers with a foreword by modern horror extra-author-naire, Michael David Wilson.
With honest intentions, on April 4, 2016, a humble gathering of writers decided to put out a weekly short story podcast featuring the best horror, sci-fi, and thriller stories this side of the apocalypse.
Within the space of five short years, the show went on to amass 8 million downloads, build up a multinational creative team, and recently sold the film/TV option, and continues to feast on the ears of many thousands of listeners each and every week.
The writers didn’t plan on the show growing into the beast that it is today, but like all good beasts, it was born by accident and is now hell-bent on consuming the world.
Not content with just the ears, now the beast wants your eyes. Please, if you’re reading this, the writers are very sorry. Try not to let your eyeballs get sucked into the pages. That’s what it wants.
Hawk & Cleaver is the independent story studio behind the hit podcast, The Other Stories. Originally a humble podcast driven by four writers, the studio has since grown to dozens of writers, narrators, and producers worldwide who work tirelessly to bring audiences the greatest horror/sci-fi/WTF fiction on this side of the apocalypse.
