S7 Ep8: S7E08 - "Blood of the Nephilim" - Fear From The Heartland

Jessica thought the worst part of being a New York City bike messenger was the traffic. Then an ordinary delivery sent her into a silent alley—and into the jaws of something that should not exist. When she awakens inside a facility hidden from the outside world, Jessica learns that everyone she knew believes she is dead. Her rescuers claim they are protecting her from creatures concealed behind supernatural disguises, and that an extraordinary inheritance has given her the power to see what others cannot. Under the guidance of the dangerously charming Agent Sam Johnson, she must learn to navigate a secret world of angels, demons, and beings caught somewhere between. But the ability to see through illusions does not make the truth any easier to recognize.Wickedly funny, gruesome, and morally unsettling, “The Aftermath” is a supernatural descent into hidden bloodlines, seductive power, and the terrible consequences of trusting the wrong savior.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

"Pea Ridge" - Fear From the Heartland

After losing his daughter, Richard retreats to his childhood home in the Missouri countryside, searching for the solitude he needs to write—and the strength to let go of a place crowded with painful memories. But something has fallen near the abandoned Pea Ridge mine, and the surrounding woods are no longer behaving as they should. The animals have disappeared. An acrid, ammonia-like odor drifts between the trees. Something powerful enough to tear through sheet metal is circling Richard’s house—and it seems drawn to more than blood. As night closes over the Ozarks, Richard and his faithful three-legged dog find themselves trapped against a predator unlike anything on Earth: a creature that can sense pain, fear, and the private darkness its victims carry within them. To survive, Richard must confront not only the horror stalking him outside, but the grief that has been consuming him from within.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

When two friends journey to a remote Vietnamese island to investigate rumors of a Bigfoot-like creature, they expect blurry photographs, strange footprints, and perhaps another internet hoax.

S7 Ep6: S7E06 - "Where Legends Begin" - Fear From The Heartland

The world is dying. A green mist blankets the land, the dead refuse to stay dead, and humanity's last flicker of hope grows dimmer with every passing day. Yet amid the ruin, a weathered healer discovers a frightened young woman whose greatest strength has yet to reveal itself. What begins as an act of mercy becomes the first step in a legend. Together they will cross kingdoms scarred by war, encounter spirits both benevolent and monstrous, challenge ancient dogma, and confront an evil that has shaped the world for generations. But destiny rarely announces itself with thunder. Sometimes it begins with a single person willing to see greatness where everyone else sees only despair.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

S7 Ep5: S7E05 - "The Shaman's Revenge" - Fear From The Heartland

When Robert Morgan was a teenager, a strange old shaman placed a black arrowhead into his hand and warned him never to let anyone else touch it. He dismissed the encounter as the ramblings of a madman—until the people around him began dying in impossible ways. Now, decades later, Robert has built the perfect life: wealth, success, a loving family, and a respected career. But beneath the surface, something ancient has been growing inside him. Nightmares plague his sleep. Violent urges claw at his thoughts. And the voice of a dead shaman whispers from the darkness, demanding vengeance. As long-buried sins rise to the surface and a forgotten evil seeks rebirth through flesh and blood, Robert finds himself trapped in a battle for his own identity—and perhaps the fate of everyone around him.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
