Description

Ever wondered what the opposite of bedtime stories would be? Stories that instead of helping you doze off by telling you, "And they lived happily ever after," this podcast takes the not-so-happy ending into account while creating stories that feature more complex and weird narratives. Altered Reality is a short story fiction podcast; it plays out similar to a modern audio drama. Each episode is based on a dark, twisted short story that might have you checking for the monster under your bed.
