Welcome to this episode of our horror fiction podcast, The Strange Thing About
“Let’s be friends. Friends to the end.”
Part 1: An Unexpected Visitor
Eight-year-old Samantha lives under the cruel rule of her mother, Julia, an emotionally unstable woman hiding more than just rage in the family home. When Julia’s long-estranged brother, Uncle Jimmy, appears unexpectedly in the night, he brings Samantha a gift: a wide-eyed doll called Lovely Luna. If only Samantha had listened to her mother this time.
Brought to you by the Emmy-Award-winning (and very strange) team at Bang Zoom! Studios, THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THE LUNA is a cinematic audio drama set in Hyde Park, New York. Perfect for headphones and late-night listeners who love Black Mirror, EC Comics, The Twilight Zone, and modern haunted-house horror.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Brad Venable.
