Listen "August Heat - Halloween Part 1, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome, my friends, to the most wonderful time of the year.This is the first of four episodes for the Halloween season! I'll be putting out one a week until All Hallow's Eve, the result of a lot of reading and research. Glad I get to share it with y'all.William Fryer Harvey's "Midnight House" didn't make much of a splash when he published it in 1910. However, based on "August Heat"'s short, first-person prophecy, his work is extremely underrated!Sometimes horror is in the things the writer doesn't tell us, and this is a subtle tale. For all that, it calls to mind the inevitability of the Final Destination franchise, as two men are caught in death's design and there's nothing they can do to alter it.Our theme music was Vivek Abishek's "The Door." Per usual, you can check out his wonderful, royalty-free compositions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/VIVEKABHISHEKThe cover art here is Luis Dominguez's cover for Secrets of Sinister House #12 (1973). You can see the entire comic adaptation of August Heat, and part of how it came to be, in this lovely write-up from 2018: https://whosoutthere.ca/2018/07/04/treasured-stories-august-heat-1973/#halloween #horror #ghoststory #holiday
