Something Dead This Way Walks
Audio Horror
Welcome to our all-audio horror page! This is where we will routinely upload all new and all original audio horror, psychological thriller, and dark comedy stories written, performed, and produced by A Brothers’ Mullane (ABM).
We look forward to creating consistent quality tales that disturb your psyche and challenge your traditions. We are currently looking to accept story ideas from anyone and everyone who has an interesting, dark, and hopefully thought-provoking story to tell. The world is full of interesting folks, so let’s hear from you!
Ultimately, we are seeking to start a service where we turn everyday people’s encounters with the strange and unusual into terrifying and engaging audio thrillers. At ABM, we are still pretty small, but as you’ll see, we love what we do!
The first set of stories below includes 7 tales written, performed, and produced by Bill Mullane 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!
Welcome!
“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!
“McKinley Manor”
Rob and his 13-year-old daughter Claire love Halloween, and this year, after the father wins tickets to the famous haunted McKinley 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...
