How far would you go to help a friend discover the true meaning of life? If the story doesn't leave you unsettled, the music just might.Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay

Two tales today from a master of short horror fiction, none other than Ambrose Bierce:The Boarded Window delves into death on the frontier, and An Inhabitant of Carcosa covers the aftermath of a nasty illness. Then stick around for some new music from the maestro, a piece called "Pandemonium 3."

Three tales today! Golden Apples, about a Norse goddess with some tasty recipes. Selkie crosses the North Sea to a remote point in Scotland: try the haggis! The Gorgon takes a familiar tale and sets it firmly on...er...its head. Clsing out the show, new music from Tim called It's Getting Closer.Art by Mert Özbağdat from Pixabay

Guest author Maurice Forrester steps up, rolls the bones and throws us a tale called A Need for Disorder. After the story, stick around for new music from Tim, "Midnight Visit."

A tribute to all those people who fill our lives with feel-good, empty platitudes. Plus a track from the maestro with a more industrial grind.

A Sinister Minutes tribute to the season and all its wrappings, brought to you by the very corporations who profit from every aspect of human endeavor, from cradle to grave, ready to dispense joy and misery. Plus "Lady in White," lovely disturbing music from the maestro. Happy holidays!

Bridging the gap between holiday sentiment and Friday the 13th horror with a bit of unboxing: In A Box of Hope, a woman considers the thrill of December bridge jumping. In Delightfully intense, a young lad is left in charge of a very important opening. Finally, Tim's added a horrifyingly lovely musical composition called "Why is the Cellar Door Open?" that might just make you think about the boxes you've got stored down there in the dark.
