Episode Two – Deep Roots
The men who brave the twisted paths seeking Bleakwood’s watery heart always come in supplication. There is power in the lake, for those foolish or desperate enough not to care about the sacrifices demanded in return. At least not until it is time to pay them.
For Steve, that time has come.

Welcome to Bleakwood
What tore a hole in the world? Can we ever get it back?
Introducing Bleakwood, a horror podcast from the creator of Blood on the Motorway and the Sunset Chronicles.
In Bleakwood, Hollow Stone Press’s new horror podcast, listeners will explore the dark corners of a small English town, as host Paul Stephenson delves into tales out of the ordinary from this seemingly ordinary town. From classic ghost stories to terrifying creature features, Bleakwood will leave listeners haunted for days to come. But each story is a hint, a fragment found in a world beyond the world’s end.
As the narrator says:
In the years since the fall, many of us have tried to find out why. To find what lead us here. But with so much of the old world gone, there are more questions than answers. What tore a hole in the world? Can we ever get it back?
But I think I’ve found something. A binder in the rubble. Don’t ask me where. Full of stories about a little town called Bleakwood, stories that seem to show a way that….
They’re not in any order, really. And I might be wrong. They might not have the answer. But I think it’s in here.
A way back. To the before. Listen, I’m just going to read them out, and you judge for yourself.
With stories by authors including Dan Howarth, Helen Lane, Sam Tindale, and many more, Bleakwood is the perfect podcast for all horror fans. Each episode brings a fresh new tale of terror from the mysterious town, while the narrator tries to put together the greatest puzzle ever – what do these stories have to do with the world’s end?
Each episode features a new horror story, read by Paul Stephenson. You can listen to the entire series on Hollow Stone Press’s website, or on iTunes, Youtube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
