Good evening, brave souls… and welcome back to the quiet hour when old fears stir and buried memories claw their way to the surface. Tonight, I’ll be guiding you into a story where the past is never truly dead, and the monsters we flee have a way of finding us again. Settle into the darkness, let the world outside fade away, and listen closely, because some secrets survive for decades, feeding patiently on guilt, silence, and unfinished business.

What begins as a childhood brush with something unspeakable slowly unravels into a reckoning years in the making, where history, horror, and family collide. If you think running is enough to escape the darkness… think again.

This story will leave you questioning what might be waiting just beyond the glow of your bedside lamp. Don't miss this spine-chilling tale… Let’s begin.

Today’s terrifying tale of the macabre is ‘They Feed at Night’, an original story by Craig Groshek from Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, kindly shared directly with me for the express purpose of having me narrate it here for you all.
