About this listen

Care for a midnight snack?

Make sure you are sitting comfortably.

Each tale on the menu speaks of the greatest of the deadly sins: gluttony and greed.

From the mountains of Eastern Europe to the Atlantic Sea, from the Yorkshire Moors to the Welsh Coast there are places of the sacred and the profane where cosmic horrors lie in wait and dark deeds are brought to life. Each crawling terror urged on into our world by their most basic of needs: to feed, consume, and feast as their eternal hunger grows.

How can our characters dare to face--nevermind overcome--these ancient devourers?

  • "Aperitif"–Ellena finds that even the church hides hungry secrets.
  • "A Painting of Whitmoor House"–Ever thought those eyes in the painting were following you?
  • "Devil at the Hour"–When you’re working the late shift in a psychiatric ward, try to keep the lights on.
  • "From Beneath"–There are places under the waves far deeper and darker than we could imagine.
  • "Wolfsbane"–How rare do you like your steak?
  • "The Unhallowing"–Some things are best left buried.
  • "Digestif"–Ellena comes home.
