  • Summary

  • Like horror stories? Like audio books? Like to be read to by a voice as soft as black velvet and as sinister as a phantom? The Dark Volumes podcast brings you monthly stories from the greats such as H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Robert Chambers, and others. There's some commentary, sure, but it's all about the stories, here. Turn off the lights, pour some wine, and (maybe) get under the covers. The Dark Volumes are here to remind you why you should be afraid of the dark.

  • "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison

    "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison
    Jan 6 2025

    Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming one of the most divisive topics in the world today.

    There's no shortage of horror stories, movies, comics, and video games with evil or out-of-control AI as a theme, but few reach the depravity and insidiousness of Harlan Ellison's "AM" (Allied Mastercomputer/Adaptive Manipulator/Aggressive Menace).

    Perhaps this episode will change your mind about our soon-to-be mechanical overlords...

    "A Vampire Walks Into a Bar" by Aaron Ray Ballard
    Aug 8 2024

    The Dark Volumes are back from a long hiatus (things can twisty in the spaces between time and reality, where we drink with abominations and party with eldritch beings).

    But, this new episode returns with a story from author Aaron Ballard, from his book, "All the Monsters are Here: Thirteen Spooky Tales."

    Enjoy this brand new story complete with a more engaging, audio-oriented twist from our good fiend--or friend, or both--John Auerbach.

  • "The Beast in the Cave" by H.P. Lovecraft

    "The Beast in the Cave" by H.P. Lovecraft
    Aug 28 2023

    H.P. Lovecraft, horror master and creator of the Cthulhu mythos, wrote this story when he was only 14 years old. It's simple, some may call predictable, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and return to the basics.
