About this audiobook
Join Michael Monelo, one of the creators of the Blair Witch Project, and TV writer/director veteran, Nick Braccia, on a journey through urban horror and suspense.
Explore the world of Maynard Wills, PhD, professor of folklore and fan of the podcast, Video Palace. The podcast followed a man named Mark Cambria, who along with his girlfriend Tamra Wulff, investigated the origins of a series of esoteric white video tapes. Cambria went missing in pursuit of these tapes, but not before hearing whispers of an ominous figure called the Eyeless Man.
Fascinated by the podcast and Cambria’s disappearance, Wills embarks on his own investigation into the origins of the tapes and the Eyeless Man, who he believes has lurked in the dark corners of media culture and urban legends for at least seventy-five years. As part of his study, he has invited popular writers of horror and gothic fiction to share their own Eyeless Man stories, whether heard around the campfire or experienced themselves.
Get swept away in this thrilling and terrifying horror anthology—which can be read on its own or as a companion to the hit Shudder podcast, Video Palace.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm giving this 5 stars because I am honestly obsessed with this Video Palace saga, that being said I HIGHLY recommend listening to the podcast first as it's heavily referred to in this.
As for the individual stories in this book, they're all good. Two really stuck out to me as genuinely unnerving and upsetting, and there was a dud or two. But all of them are worth listening to.
I can't wait to see where this story goes next.1 person found this helpful
