I’m a huge fan of horror fiction, and out of the many podcasts in that genre I follow, this one is top notch.

I found this podcast in season 6. I have enjoyed all of the stories thus far. However, the last episode, The Substitute, has been my favorite! I could imagine this being on television or an actual movie. It left me wanting to know more about that town and how the monster came into existence. I had other questions as well, but I don’t want to spoil the story. Great story and great podcast!

I love the into music clip. It’s magic! :) Great show! Tanya Thompson was doing this short creepy factoid clip at the end of one episode that made me LOL for real though. It was just delivered so perfectly. Genius Note to sather86 who left a review saying: “Racist. If there was a show called “white people horror everyone would call it racist. How is this different?” Ok so -buddy- you gotta think about it kind of like this: picture two cups. One cup has been half full for a while and water is still being added to it. The other glass has been bone dry for quite some time -and as such- since the goal in this scenario is equality- if there were to be a stronger stream of water being added to the empty glass- this is a good thing. Lots of catching up to do. Make sense? Hope this helps. It’s a lame thought experiment but I’m thinking maybe, just maybe, it might make some sense or at least help you start seeing things a little bit different from time to time. I don’t know. It’s probably just lame.

Is the story “ The Way” a continuation or was that the end?? I need more. Love this podcast!!!

❤️ Great production and story❤️

So many pleasant and horrific stories. Each captivated and wonderfully told.

What a wonderful podcast. Contemporary Black horror writers. Crucial interviews.

This was absolutely amazing I loved it.

I’m always looking for new authors to read or listen to and this podcast has introduced me to more than a few. Production is excellent and I love the wide variety of horror options. Great podcast!

I love this podcast!! And how it represents people that look like me and the stories that I love!!🖤🖤

either it scares or it doesn’t. This doesn’t.

Love everything about this show. Will become a patron, on Patreon, as soon as I’m able.

Thank you for these viewpoints. I have been binge listening because I love the genre and appreciate the various authors. Both the stories and interviews give me insight into parts of society I rarely encounter. I have become an occasional contributor on PayPal, both to acknowledge an unlevel playing field and support very high quality work.

Amazing variety of stories from thrilling and intriguing to outright terrifying!!!

Awesome stories, awesome pod! More than one story has stuck with me long after I’m done listening.

One of my fav pods - finished Wet Pain 1&2 back to back, heck of a listen, content that keeps me coming back!

Excellent stories and fabulous narration.

I can't get enough of these stories. I love how I'm learning about different traditions and folklore from the African diaspora, and some of the twists in these creepy stories! I'm a super-fan at this point.

I’m so happy I found this podcast! I don’t remember how but I’m not going to question it. The host is amazing and the stories, while some may not be to my preference, are still all amazing. I have never not finished an episode, nor have I left disappointed. I especially love that episodes sometimes include an interview with the author. I now have a long recommendation list that I can’t wait to go through. If you love even some horror and are looking to find amazing black authors, then look no further! If you’re not into horror, no worries, this podcast is not for you and that’s ok. If you are racist or simply don’t want to recognize that black writers are not represented in most media, then move along and don’t bother submitting a 1-2 star rating.

I have been searching for a while now, when I happened across the podcast I excitedly waited to listen to the first episode… I’ve been listening ever sinceAnd emphatically await each new episode as well as interview!

About a year ago, I followed and listened to several of the episodes. It was in the midst of racial chaos everywhere. I was sick of it. Why did this have to be presented as black horror? Why couldn’t it just be horror? Why did it matter? Also the few episodes I heard, didn’t have the best audio. You could hear people breathing, and it wasn’t as good as others. I also left a review, that I now can’t find, stating my opinion. Fast forward to now. I listened to the Pseudopod collaboration, and it drew me back to Nightlight. So I started over. The few stories I’ve listened to have been amazing. The Stiffening really hit me. And the audio is fine, maybe there’s a glitch here and there, but so what. I don’t know why I couldn’t listen last year, but now I can. I personally don’t see the world as black and white, but my way isn’t the only way. And what’s wrong with celebrating black artists, absolutely nothing. I hope I haven’t said anything to offend because that’s not my aim, I’m just stating my feelings. I’ll continue to listen, and I’m sure I’ll continue being affected. Keep doing what you’re doing!!!

Great stories. Give em a listen, you’ll be hooked and there are stories for every horrid taste

Nightlight is by far the BEST horror podcast I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. They feature such chilling and horrifying stories. One thing I particularly enjoy are the interviews with the story’s author. The interviews are so thorough and inspiring. I’m a huge fan and highly recommend this podcast for all lovers of horror

I LOVE THIS PODCAST. The stories are so well written, I can visualize everything - every detail and description are spot on. The narrators are also great. They really make the stories come to life.

I love being introduced to more black Horror authors. Horror is my jam and knowing there's more black authors makes me everso happy.

Every story I’ve heard so far has been fantastic and gripping, and the voice actors are phenomenal. Would definitely recommend!

I enjoy this podcast but I hate the intro music, it’s way too loud and annoying. I like that they have a good variety of writers who probably wouldn’t be heard otherwise. Keep it up!

Amazing podcast! Recommended to all my friends and family!

A wonderful podcast with great stories by both emerging and established horror authors. Great show for the horror lovers!

This podcast is full of deliciously frightening stories, professionally performed and executed. If horror is your thing, give it a listen, and if horror isn’t your thing, this is a great entry point... it just might become your thing after all!

This is absolutely one of my favorite podcasts, period. The stories are fresh and interesting; the writing is phenomenal, and the narrators/VAs are fantastic.

Great podcast stories are wonderful . Was so happy when I found a horror podcast by us for us . Keep up the great work .

Normalize the audio across segments. It is irritating having to turn the volume down for an (annoyingly basic) intro only to have to crank it back up to hear the content. I really don’t care what color the authors are... I can’t discern that from text on a screen or grammatically correct spoken word audio, anyway. So, this media company can keep capitalizing on the color of someone’s skin. I’ll let someone else consume it.

So many good stories on this podcast. I love having access to Black horror writers and the narrators are talented!

I like it. I hope they are able to add voice actors to these stories

Tango of a Telltale Heart is my favorite so far!

It is nice to hear stories from different writers and I love it. It is my now one of my go to podcast for dark and horror stories. Keep it up!!!

Excellent and so well read and written.

Nightlight is an all-around amazing podcast. They consistently produce high-quality episodes that provide an engrossing, atmospheric experience. They cover all kinds of stories so if you like horror, want to support Black writers, and get excellent book and movie recommendations, there’s something for you. And I enjoy hearing the author interviews as much as I love the stories themselves - incorporating writers’ voices into the episodes is a brilliant move and one that I greatly appreciate. Plus, it’s so refreshing and exciting to hear Black horror/supernatural fiction as the norm and not the exception. I can’t speak highly enough about this podcast and the team behind it, or express fully what it means to me.

I love this podcast and have been listening to it every night. I only wish Tonia Thompson spoke just a tiny bit slower so I can absorb every word and picture the story in my head as she speaks. I tried going to half speed on the settings, but then it is way to slow.

... if it were a “white only” podcast, it would be classified as racist. How is this ANY different?

I was looking for a new short story horror anthology podcast and Nightlight popped up as a suggestion. I decided to give it a try and am very happy with this find. The stories, the productions, and the interviews are all excellent. I highly recommend.

The most polished, original, and genuinely frightening horror podcast Ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. It’s a joy to be introduced to such a variety of talented authors, knowing that when you really love one’s work you can go and buy more of it. A big thank you to the show creators and contributors for all the time and hard work they’ve put into this creative project.

I have been a huge horror fan ever since my grandfather introduced me to my first horror movie. And I’ve always loved horror novels. But, it’s always bothered me that I couldn’t find books written about or by people like me. Finding this podcast has been a wish fulfilled! I have been listening all day and will be a Patreon member soon!

I really enjoy this show, and if you want original horror, you will too.

Just found this podcast thanks to Creepy Podcast. Binge listening while working and I am a fan. The Crossroads-Twightlight Zone episode is my new fav!

Thank you for this haven for creatives across the world. Horror is and will always be a place for all creatives to showcase their demented imaginings. I appreciate you and the work you do.

I’ve found my forever home. I love it already. My only regret is that i wish I’ve found it sooner. 🤟🏾👻

Want to hear a bedtime story now that you’re all grown up? I had almost forgotten how much I could love hearing a scary tale, just as I adored the classic serial radio shows I listened to long ago, with my Dad beside me to make me feel safe from the gaze of The Shadow as a child. I always enjoyed the thrill of a scare from a safe place. I’ve found that desire for a good fun scare again, and am loving the exciting thrills too, all wrapped up in the dramatic voices sharing stories written by a variety of authors I seldom see getting enough attention. NIGHTLIGHT Pod features diverse authors that warrant just as much attention as we give the classic horror authors we first heard long ago. Be brave; get cozy and get this in your ears until it fills your mind... sometimes even at bedtime like I do. Just don’t forget it’s named NIGHTLIGHT for good reasons and enjoy this great podcast.... 😉

So happy I came across this podcast! Great narration & creepy stories. Thank you!
