The Story Is AFTERWORDby Getting BetterMara Voss's husband has been dead eleven weeks when the phone rings and it's him. Seven minutes a day. He knows about the loose stair and the drawer where the screwdrivers live and the thing she said in the car that nobody else heard. He knows what he was working on the night he went off the catwalk at Pier 9. And he is very clear that she should stop looking into it. It isn't a ghost. It's worse than that, and it's a business. There are rooms in this county with a bed, a kettle and a bulb that wants changing, and there are people sitting in them who said yes to a very kind man on a telephone and have not been outside since. Some of them have been in there nine years. Every one of them was chosen because nobody would notice. Mara Voss is going to find them. What frightens her is how ordinary the people doing it turn out to be.5.0 out of 5 · 24 plays · Thriller · 26 episodes · 3 hr 34 min
CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCHby Getting BetterA twelve-year-old girl hides under her bed with her little brother while someone climbs the stairs. Then her lost phone calls her, and it’s her own voice: “Don’t move. He knows you’re under the bed.” Close Enough to Touch is a collection of horror stories told by the people who survived them. Each one is a full story, told late at night by the fire, with a full cast and sound that puts you in the room. Different people tell each story, and each happened in a different place, but they all share one truth: the monster was never a stranger. It was the neighbor who waved every morning. The friend who held your hand. Someone close enough to touch. Pull up a blanket. Turn off the lights. And listen carefully for the breathing beside you.4.5 out of 5 · 34 plays · Horror · 18 episodes · 2 hr 7 min
