Up Near the Neverwills

Note to listeners: The content of this story is particularly grim, and may be very disturbing to some. 'An Oral History of Hell,' a story written before this podcast began, is a bleak, brutish tale of suspense related by a narrator condemned to Hell's wintry plain. The Grip, the Speaking Stones, the Far Mountains, the Perimeter, the Lie: In describing Hell's harsh geography and customs, Nicholas Strait also describes the events and people that brought him to damnation. His search for a way out must navigate madness, addiction, and the immutable hand of death. MUSIC: "The Unknown" by Kemi, "Deep Blue" by YahavK, "Eternal Recluse" by Kyle Preston, "Too Much" by Michael Vignola, "Uncharted Lands" by Romeo, "One Word (Reworked)" by Christopher Galavan.
