What is the premise of 'Burnt to the Bone'?
No. This is Creepy. A podcast dedicated to sharing the most famous, chilling, and disturbing creepypastas and urban legends in the world. Whether these stories truly happened or are simply fabrications is for you to decide. These stories may contain graphic depictions of violence and explicit language. Listener discretion is advised. Hey, what's up, y'all? Man, I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been having a blast lately avoiding anything that resembles the normal depressing news cycle. The horror world has just been so amazing lately. From stuff like sinners and weapons and hard eyes last year to what we have right now in the back rooms and hokum and obsession. There's just so much to actually look forward to.
I've even gotten into horror games, something I've never really had much interest in before. There are so many legit, scary, unnerving, independent horror games out there. Or, at least I think they're indie. I won't share some of the titles I've been playing because they are legit effed up, but... It's just been so much fun to see the world coming around to horror in more ways than just thinking about slashers and grindhouse movies. Like, I watched Iron Long the other day, the movie adaptation of the game of the same name that was made by the streamer Markiplier. Seriously, has there been a better time for horror? I'm not even getting paid for these shoutouts, I'm just seriously digging how far horror has come even with mainstream audiences.
And the fact that I get to be part of this community?
How do the characters cope with the aftermath of a forest fire?
admittedly to a much lesser extent. But still, how can I not be happy? Oh, and I should do a quick request, some actual business. We're looking for more stories that feature either ambiguous or male narrators. By ambiguous, we just mean that there's nothing in the story that calls out that it's a male or female narrator. You all heard our last ask for stories that feature female narrators, and now we're looking specifically to get some more that feature male narrators. As always, we accept stories regardless, and submissions are always open. Our current need is just for male-narrated stories. Not male narrators, as has been an issue in the past, just the stories. And don't forget that we do a monthly drawing for all accepted stories for free swag to one lucky writer, just as a special thanks for the work they do.
So, if you have a story, and you're interested in submitting and getting paid if that submission is accepted... please check out creepypod.com slash submissions. Oh, and we have started getting in stories for the 31 Days of Horror event, so make sure to get on that if you want to see your story featured in October. I can't wait for October. Alright, I suppose I should get to the task of providing more horror to the wonderfully scary world of our creation. First up, from writer Deirdre Gregg and narrated by Heather Thomas, Creepy Presents, Burnt to the Bone.
The Glass River Wilderness died on the afternoon of October 5th, when the family of Dominic and Jennifer Ware set off not one, but three, bright blue smoke bombs at a gender reveal party for Jennifer on a clear, sunny, and brutally dry day. They thought they had extinguished the fire, despite the dad-to-be's idiot brother throwing his cup of whiskey on it at first, but they missed a spark somewhere, and the whole forest burned down. Glass River was so beautiful that people came from all over the country to visit. But it was only about an hour away from our home, and I practically grew up there. There were literally trees with knife notches in the bark marking the height of my cousins and me as we grew.
We camped there at least a couple of times every year. My aunt Lucy even got married on a mountaintop up there. And it was all gone now. After the fire, everybody told us not to go back, not to even look at the pictures. But my mother couldn't resist. When she got back that night, she sat at the kitchen table staring blankly ahead. She tried to talk, but started coughing, and cracked open a beer and drained half of it before she tried again.
