Audio Horror
Welcome to my all-audio horror page! This is where I will routinely upload all new and all original audio horror, psychological thriller, and other strange, dark stories written, performed, and produced by me, Bill Mullane, the currently solo creator at A Brothers’ Mullane (ABM).
As you will see, creating quality tales that disturb your psyche and challenge your traditions is my truest passion. The first set of stories below includes 7 tales that I wrote, performed, and produced for the “A Brothers’ Macabre” series on The Bill Mullane Show in October 2024.
*Please note. “Elias” and “McKinley Manor” were conceived to be much longer, but were given different endings due to time constraints. The original stories will be redone and featured in upcoming episodes of Yarns From the Bog!
Currently:
While the primary focus of this website is to promote my writing and get my novel Snowdrifter completed and out into the world, I have no interest in foregoing the creation of more original audio horror stories. And with October here, I’m gearing up to release four all-new audio tales throughout the month. These will be released right here and under an all new podcast page on YouTube @YarnsFromtheBog
I hope you consider donating to my Kickstarter and not only help get Snowdrifter further out, deeper into the darkness of the world, but perhaps even play a role in crafting fun, terrifying tales! The world is full of interesting folks, so let’s hear from you!
And welcome to the Bog!
“Ugly Bug”
Cliff was a young man when he took a simple overnight job at the Flying Jays gas station in Kansas. Born and raised in a small mid-western town, Cliff thought he was prepared for anything the woods could throw at him. That is, until he came across one especially grotesque little creature with a peculiar allure...
“Parsec Award Winner”
Whoever said that being crowned the winner of the annual audio drama awards would be fulfilling has not met Matthew Van Borough. As the recipient of this year's Parsec award, Matthew should be celebrating. And in one way or another, he will...
“Football Season”
Phil and Chuck have been life long friends and, even more than that, die-hard fans of the Buffalo Bills. This year, Phil is convinced the Bills are on a road to destiny. And following an unexpected visit from the ghost of O.J. Simpson, he is set to make damn sure he supports his team, no matter what it takes!
“Something Dead This Way Walks”
In our one and only tale for the Season 2 opener, we learn that YFTB serves as much more than just another creepy story podcast. To be honest, we find out that we really don’t know whether the creator and host of this specific podcast even has what it takes to last in the audio business. It seems as though he might be struggling with something more pressing at the moment... Something sinister… Or as he would say, "Something dead."
“My Neighbors Like it Cold”
In our first story, we meet Derek, a man currently serving time in Attica Correctional Facility. Derek’s been locked away, and probably for good reason, but as he tells us, all of his problems started with what should have been a nice move into a cozy rural duplex. Things turned sinister, however, when he met his elderly neighbors, a deceptively sweet religious couple, who like to be “prepared…”
“Nickel-Wound”
This tale introduces us to Dustin, a struggling musician who can’t seem to impress anyone with his songs. After his latest performance, Dustin’s girlfriend and family tell him to hang it up, but when he finds a glowing talisman in the woods, he is granted inspiration. With nothing left to lose, Dustin makes one desperate wish, a wish he soon regrets…
“Not Funny, Ha-Ha”
Jerome has a little trouble with some of his office coworkers, especially Aaron. Needing to blow off a little steam, he figures no harm can come from playing a little practical joke at the upcoming potluck. Practical jokes are innocent enough… Right?
“The Accident Writer”
To his parents’ utter disappointment, Alex Zimmer failed to become a lawyer. Instead, he chose to chase his dreams of being a famous romance writer, selling his novels worldwide. But after landing a job reporting on personal injury accidents for a local law firm, his dreams officially melt into his nightmares, and now, Alex is determined to make his folks proud, no matter what the cost…
“Elias”
Meditation is an amazing practice that, when developed correctly, can help you in all aspects of your life. Mindfulness has been known to improve health, focus, and in some cases, even lead people into channeling higher beings. It is for the latter, specifically, that this story serves to warn anyone who might attempt such methods of contact... Be careful who you're talking to!
“McKinely Manor”
Rob and his 13-year-old daughter Claire love Halloween, and this year, after the father wins tickets to the famous haunted McKinely Manor, where the “actors” can reportedly “torture” the guests, the pair is stoked for the challenge. The only problem now will be finding their way out alive...
“Affirmations”
Listening to positive affirmations while you sleep is said to reprogram your subconscious, thus improving your outlook on life and eventually the whole world around you. Sounds amazing, so long as you are aware of exactly what it is that your affirmations are really saying at night...
