Soon I’ll be launching a podcast about the town of Clenchport! It stars two fictional radio hosts who tell stories about the town’s history, including audio from other parallel universes!

And of course I’ll be doing more stories here on Substack about the town. The team that’s working on the animated series is also making great progress, so stay tuned, lots more coming! 😁

Pesky other me's haha! I love this! I was not expecting that, I had so many other thoughts about what might be going on, but this! This is epic and you need to tag me when the continuation comes out! The way you described the horror was perfect, I could see and hear the very wrong entity coming at me!

Haha, I’m glad you liked it! I’m excited to ramp up the stories, podcast, and series set in Clenchport. Lots of really cool stories to be told in this town (and parallel versions of it like this one). 😁

Thank you, Dawn; I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you're curious, this story is one of many set in a connected horror multiverse I'm building called The Synaptic Sprawl. I have a section in the content directory of my home page where you can find other stories set in Clenchport and other parallel universes.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Clenchport podcast and the animated series I'm writing, too! Lots of exciting things in the works!

That pesky word count - I want more of this story! This is such a cool idea, and the static person really creeped me out lol

Haha, yeah the word count forced me to find a good stopping point, but I'll come back to this story eventually. Whether that's in the form of another short story, an episode of the Clenchport podcast that's coming out, or in the animated series remains to be seen. 👀

Haha, thank you for reading! The town of Clenchport is part of my larger horror mythos called "The Synaptic Sprawl." You can find a section of stories set in that universe on my content directory, with more Clenchport stories to come!

Soon, I'll also be launching a podcast about the history of Clenchport, and eventually there will be an animated series as well! Really exciting stuff.
