Utseende & The Garden of Unearthly Delights

The Bell Ringer by Raven Oak

The Bell Ringer by Raven Oak is a different sort of holiday story. I do love a story of redemption which is one of the reasons I chose it, but instead of the supernatural element the horror from this story comes from human frailty. The Bell Ringer was originally published in The Bell Ringer and Other Holiday Tales by Raven Oak.  More information about the award winning author Raven Oak can be found at Ravenoak.net [https://www.ravenoak.net] For more information about Scary Stories Whispered in the Rain [https://www.patreon.com/Scarystorieswhisperedintherain], please check out our patreon [https://www.patreon.com/Scarystorieswhisperedintherain] or our instagram/scarystorieswhisperedintherain [https://www.instagram.com/scarystorieswhisperedintherain/].

Tune in for an eerie escape into the uncanny. In this episode, I share two chilling tales that blend folklore and dark imagination. First, Utseende by Arnoldo Millan Zubia takes us to a quiet village in Mexico, where something unsettling lurks beneath the surface—haunting the narrator, the hotel where he works, and the town surrounding it.  Then, in The Garden of Unearthly Delights by Lena Ng, enter a lush, mysterious garden where beauty and hard work masks danger.
