Lore to awe

Amazon has taken a lesstraveled route for its latest adaptation, drawing its name and inspiration from the popular horror podcast

Created by Aaron Mahnke, the podcast tells stories of horror and fear. The podcast is a rich storytelling experience blending digestible nuggets of historybased terror and their context in the larger scope of time. With Mahnke’s narration intact, the show is a wicked concoction of Gothic animation, documentary and dramatization, all in support of a theme threading through the episode.

The documentary portions are fleshed out with beautifully rendered graphics and often unsettling historic photos.
