Robert Bevan's six darkly comic horror stories featuring children and absurd threats
This audio collection gathers six distinct narratives that mix terror with satire. The stories range from a bus ride gone wrong in Hooker Alley to a zombie outbreak contained within an adult store. Characters like Sarah, Tommy, Chris, Gary, Todd, Andy, Tarik, Mikayla, and Jimmy face bizarre situations rather than standard monsters. Bevan uses these scenarios to critique societal norms through a lens of grotesque humor. The pacing shifts from suspenseful introductions to chaotic climaxes. Listeners encounter alien invasions, undead hordes, and strange gifts. The tone remains consistently irreverent throughout the compilation.
Published by Tantor Audio in October 2018, this work sits within the contemporary audio drama landscape. It draws on American urban legends and pop culture tropes involving aliens and zombies. The collection reflects a trend of blending genre fiction with satirical commentary for modern audiences.
