    In Your Condition
    Sep 30 2026

    His mother brought him a snail to keep him company. It grows. It talks. It sounds like her.

    Bobby checked himself into the hospital to get better. His mother brought Yuzu, a small orange nerite snail, so he'd have something to look at besides the walls. Yuzu watches. Then Yuzu starts to grow.

    In Your Condition is a story about what love sounds like when it doesn't want you to get better. It appears as "Prisons" in Nightmares & Grief, Volume 4.

    Written and narrated by Derrick Heisey.

    Content note: psychiatric hospitalization, forced medication and restraint, body horror, harm to animals.

    Lofi for Sleep
    May 19 2026

    It helps him sleep. It quiets the calls he won't answer, the mail he won't open, the people he won't hear. As long as the music is playing, none of it can reach him.

    He really should keep the music playing.

    —Nightmares & Grief is a horror storytelling podcast for mature audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

    WRING | A Demon Rides Shotgun
    Mar 3 2026

    A truck driver on the verge of losing his daughter picks up a silent old man at a rest stop in the dead of night. The stranger never speaks — he only points.

    But every time he does, the driver feels what others truly feel. And what starts as unwanted empathy becomes a weapon he can't stop using.

    "Wring" is an original horror short story written and narrated by Derrick Heisey. This story appears in Nightmares & Grief, Vol. 3.
