Show overview
Maeltopia - A New World of Horror Fiction has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 324 episodes, alongside 17 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 11th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 20 min and 24 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.

Mael-o-ween Special
bonusEThe Rotten Pumpkin ManAfter the Great Darkness of 1999, many towns that were once occupied were discovered abandoned. One such town, Harvest Creek, is located just outside the borders of Autumn City. One of the many artifacts discovered after the hamlet's apparent desertion was a journal located in one of the empty residence. The small book, which contained an account of a supposed mass murder at the hands of a strange folklore figure, became infamous for its similarities to Autumn City's own killer - Jack Lantern. Some have speculated that Jack Lantern was once a citizen of the small town, while others believe that the killer based his haunting persona on the antagonist of the bloody tale. There are even those who have come to believe that Jack Lantern isn't human at all, but the Rotten Pumpkin Man himself.The Spirit PhotographerIn October of 2006, Katie Tammer was the only remaining witness to an odd mass disappearance that took place at the annual Nemeroff Masquerade - a yearly costume party thrown by millionaire, Stanley Nemeroff, at his lake house in Camden, Maine. While Ms. Tammer was initially held as a person of interest, the lack of evidence tying him to any wrong-doing eventually lead to her release. Shortly after, Ms. Tammer disappeared from the country, but had left a letter tacked to the wall of her apartment's entryway. The note was a telling of the events of the night in question, which drastically differed from her account tendered to the police, where she claimed the guests had simply disappeared after she returned from her smoke break. The following is the content of Ms. Tammer's letter.The Hunting HousesA man ruminates within the confines of a haunted house.

Patreon Sneak Peek - The Weird Tapes
EIn 2014, one of our Weird Book operatives conducted a study on Mergotz and stumbled upon a tape recorder hidden beneath a floorboard in an abandoned house in a nearby town. To our surprise, the recording contained the last testament of Dr. Chloe Mullins, a cultural anthropologist. It appears she was researching a phenomenon known as the "Last Fire" and became entangled with some questionable individuals. The tape was subsequently handed over to the FBI, but as of now, there has been no trace of Dr. Mullins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
