Welcome to part three of my I don’t know how many more part series on creepy podcasts (I listen to a lot of podcasts). The first dealt with Dark Sci-Fi and the second covered Paranormal Fiction. Today I will cover 10 Dark Fiction audio drama podcasts you should be listening to.

This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. Recorded live at the Slipper Room in New York, this old-time radio show styled podcast features an amazing cast of voice actors. Each show has a different theme and the stories are broken down into podcast episodes. There is also a recurring saga, called Sunken Harbor with a cast of quirky characters it’s always nice to revisit.
Deadly Manners

10 episodes of wicked good fun, Deadly Manners stars Kristen Bell as a hostess trying to keep her dinner party going even as her guest start dropping like flies. The all-star cast also includes Denis O’Hare, RuPaul, Anna Chulmsky, David Cummings, and is narrated by LeVar Burton.

An anthology series from the co-creator of The Black Tapes, each episode is a self contained story. This podcast is very well written, performed, and produced.
Archive 81

Presented as another found footage podcast, Archive 81 begins as Dan Powell starts his new job listening to recordings of interviews that take place in a mysterious apartment building. Now Dan is missing, do the ever more disturbing recordings have something to do with his disappearance?
Bonus: The Truth Episode “The Devil You Know”
I highly recommend The Truth Podcast for anyone who is interested in audio drama. There are stories that last only one episode as well as multi-episode series, which makes it easy to jump in at any time. There are a few creepy episodes here and there, but the one I would like to recommend is “The Devil You Know” which includes three politically themed horror stories.
