a chilling audio show that probes the raw, jagged edges of human fear—both primal and absurd. From the relentless 9-minute snooze of an alarm clock that feels like a missed bus to eternity, to the gut-twisting dread of spoiled milk lurking in your fridge.

Dive into the bizarre: wasps nesting inside horseflies, a metaphorical swarm of dread; the creeping terror of ALS stealing breath and autonomy; or the irrational panic of rabies conjured by a stray dog’s glance.

Rain becomes a suffocating deluge, snake boots slither with betrayal, and a 1969 Plymouth Fury roars as a chrome-plated specter of doom. The show even revisits the Alien Vs. Predator Atari Jaguar game—a glitchy, pixelated nightmare that mirrors our fear of obsolete futures.

A tribute to fear and loathing, framed as the high-water mark of Western culture’s obsession with dread.
