The Ghosts on This Road
Using her own horror prose as an eerie foundation, writer Linda Wojtowick collaborated with fellow author Soren Narnia on this lo-fi blend of conversation and fiction. In the first volume of 25 episodes (2020-2022), they play anonymous paranormal researchers calling back and forth from the road to report on mysterious phenomena. In the second volume of 15 episodes (2023), they play very different unnamed characters: strangers attempting to piece together hazy shared memories of a faraway used bookstore that may never have existed. In both volumes, short and subtle tales of terror link hours of observations on fear, memory, obsession, and the wonder of things that cannot be explained. A third volume of episodes will be released in winter 2025. Copyright 2020, 2023 by Linda Wojtowick. The podcast’s companion book, featuring all of Linda Wojtowick’s stories as heard in the episodes, is available on Amazon.
