In Another Room

6. The Dining Room — A 1920s Dinner Party, a Body in the Trunk, and Then the Body Gets Up

In Another Room

Show Notes

Narrative horror podcast In Another Room sets a dinner table in 1928 — with a body in the trunk and guests arriving at seven.

The house leads Wendy to the dining room — and to a dinner party in 1928 that should not still be happening. Anne Larkin's husband Gregory has been losing his memory for months. This morning, during a heated argument, she killed him with a kitchen knife and hid his body in an old steamer trunk in the corner of the dining room.

Tonight she has guests. The candles are lit. The wine is poured. And then Gregory — who is supposed to be in the trunk — walks into the room and takes his usual seat at the head of the table.

In the trunk's lining, decades later, Wendy will find what the house has been leading her toward all along.

A Violet Hour Media production.
