Maine has a way of claiming people as its own. Some arrive chasing clean air and quiet trails; others come for work, for family, or for the pull of a coastline that feels older than memory. Whatever the reason, this place keeps those who wander into its pine‑shadowed forests and jagged, sea‑bitten shores — and Zak Cowell is one of them.Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, Zak drifted north after graduating from Appalachian State University and found himself rooted in the shadow of Derry, Maine. His creative work spans the uncanny fiction of The Obsidian Mirror to the intimate, visceral poetry of In Flesh, Enshrined. An HWA Affiliate writer, his stories have appeared in Alien Buddha Press, Flittermouse Press’ Postmortems series, Suburban Witchcraft Magazine, Dark Harbor Magazine, and even on The NoSleep Podcast.Tonight, Zak joins us to talk about his life, his influences, and why Maine is the perfect crucible for the kind of horror he creates. He’ll also be stepping into the Lantern‑lit Symposium this October alongside eight other authors as we gather for an evening of stories, shadows, and shared dread.Find Zak's work here https://www.zakcowell.com/The Fogcast is an Acadia After Dark production.

In this episode of the Fogcast, we explore a realm of horror which has languished in antiquity but is finding new life in the modern era. From whispers in empty rooms to the creak of old floorboards, audio has a way of slipping past your defenses, and tonight’s guest has spent his career mastering that uncanny power.We’re joined by Fred Greenhalgh, Maine‑born audio dramatist and pioneer of on‑location recording. Growing up in East Machias, Fred’s childhood was shaped by eerie encounters and rural folklore that later fueled his approach to sound‑driven storytelling. Together, we talk about the landscapes that linger, the history of audio drama, and how real environments can become characters in fiction through sound design.If you’re fascinated by immersive horror, field recording, or the strange magic of stories carried on the wind, this conversation cuts straight to the heart of it.Find Fred's work here https://finalrune.comThe Fogcast is an Acadia After Dark production.
