Burned by a Paper Sun

Show Notes

William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his skepticism, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Above all, he is terrorized by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.

Burned by a Paper Sun is a horror anthology podcast exploring the Maelverse, where reason falters and light dares not linger. In these tales, science fails, faith fractures, and the night no longer needs the day to exist. Some stories stand alone. Others intertwine. All threads of a greater tapestry woven from nightmare and myth.

Created by Maeltopia. In association with @RustyQuill.
