The Vault After Dark — serialized scary stories for grown-ups, from MeekDuke Books. Season 1: SEVEN NIGHTS IN THE VAULT — a different little scary story every night, October 25–31. Season 2: POOH SEES DEAD PEOPLE — a burnt-out bear who left the Wood for the city, and who sees the dead whether he wants to or not, takes the cases the living can't close.

Written by Timothy LaDuke.

The client in the chair at 3 a.m. is Martin Wren. Martin Wren has been dead for hours. He is very polite about it.

ADULTS ONLY (18+). Episode 1 of POOH SEES DEAD PEOPLE. Pooh left the Wood for the city a long time ago. These days he takes the cases the living can't close — because the dead come to him, whether he wants them or not, and he is so tired.

THE VAULT AFTER DARK — written by Timothy LaDuke (MeekDuke Books). Narrated by Placid Boulder.

"The Man Who Was Already Waiting" — Pooh Sees Dead People, Episode 1.

Music: "Mary Celeste" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), ISRC USUAN1500016, with "This House" (ISRC USUAN1500055) and "Gloom Horizon" (ISRC USUAN1100813). Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).
