“You’re driving down a dark, lonely road late at night. To keep yourself awake you turn on the radio and flip through the stations. There’s some static, a couple old crooners.
Then you come across a voice.
The narrator is warm, genial. He speaks directly to you, as if you and he are old friends. He wants to tell you a story. Music drifts in. A piano. Pleasant at first. Perhaps a little melancholy. Perhaps a tad ominous. Something isn’t quite right. A subtle, but unmistakable dread drips into your mind. The narrator continues and you slowly realize you’ve turned into, well, the wrong station.
The Wrong Station draws from the same slow-burn horror of classic radio programs such as “Quiet, Please” or “Lights Out”. Sometimes the full horror only dawns on the at the end. Sometimes the exact nature of the horror is left mysterious and only hinted at. But you know you have heard something a dark place and you cannot fully shake off the cold whispers that have crept into your mind.
Music and sound effects are rare, so there is little to distract you as the narrator reels you into deeper, darker waters. I would highly recommend The Wrong Station to anyone who likes a good slow-build dread in their scary stories.”
