I listen to podcasts from Spotify at work because my work is pretty boring but normally I read books. The horror podcasts have a mixture of things. Some of them have like sketches as their intro before they get into the fiction part but it's really well done.

I make playlists and just put different short stories on there and then kind of let them play through as I work. But I'm also seriously wondering if I should just listen to the podcasts straight through because they are decent.

I'll give you a list of some of the BEST short stories I've heard so far.

[b]Here's some of my favorite short stories so far:[/b]

[b]1. Drabblecast Director's Cut: Teddy Bears and Tea Parties[/b] - HIGHLY recommended and I mean it's pretty excellent as far as storytelling goes. It's like a cross between cosmic horror and a super dark fairy tale.

[b]2. The Slip[/b] - Manor House podcast, a story about a man who purchases a new house and finds errr.. something there.

[b]3. In Human[/b] - Manor House podcast a story about how a serial killer may not be all what he seems.

[b]4. Playing Monster[/b] - Manor House podcast a story about children and an apocalypse, it's kind of horror-ish but also somewhat sad too. It's like dark fantasy but not quite horror but horror at the same time I guess.

[b]5. 10qt by Matt Cummings[/b] - a really good short story about an apocalypse and the internet. It's horror-ish but more of a dark satire. It's horrifying but also funny in some parts.

[b]6. What Stays Below[/b]- Manor House podcast is an interesting story about a guy who gets a job at a morgue that also isn't what it seems.

[b]7. The Night Wire by H.F. Arnold[/b] - EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast, a story about a person whose job it is to type the news as it comes out when one of his co-workers begins typing up apocalyptic news stories from a town that seemingly doesn't exist.

[b]8. The Voice In The Night By William Hope Hodgson[/b] - EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast, a story about two fishermen who are visited by strangers on the water who tell of a horrifying story that happened to them. Also really decent.

[b]9. The Hanging Stranger by Philip K. Dick - [/b] on the podcast 1001 Ghost Stories & Tales of the Macabre ... it's just great because Philip K. Dick is excellent even at the horror genre. He's just a good all around writer I guess.

[b]10. The Wallpaper Out of Space[/b] - Drabblecast podcast, a story about nice wallpaper :)

[b]Here are some single story fiction podcasts that aren't short stories you may like:[/b]

[b]1. The Edge of Sleep[/b], a fictional podcast story on Spotify about an apocalypse where mass people just suddenly die in their sleep. Also written really well.

[b]2. Alice Isn't Dead[/b] - Night Vale Presents (I think it's on several different channels on Spotify so I put Night Vale so you can find the correct one.) This story is really great and I mean genuinely it's pretty good. It's kind of in the vein of horror but it's more like dark fantasy.

It's about a truck driver who goes in search of her missing wife but along the way gets dragged into all sorts of strange phenomena including (taken from the story description) not-quite-human serial killers, towns literally lost in time and a conspiracy that goes beyond one missing woman.

Probably one of the more interesting podcasts that I've enjoyed and also highly recommended.

[b]3. Unwell[/b] - a midwestern gothic story about a woman who moves in with her estranged mother and finds things like ghosts and odd residents.
