Dead City Radio

By David Lagattuta Jr.

The radio station went dark years ago.
But every night, the dead still call in.

When the world goes quiet, the airwaves remember.

At 2:13 a.m., after the commercials stop and the coffee goes cold, Mara answers the station phone like she always does. On the other end: a voice from the era before cell phones. A voice that knows her name. A voice asking for a song no one's ever heard.

The building around her is empty, the broadcast tower older than the city, and the playlist is hers to command-but the moment she promises to find the song, the station changes. The static thickens. The shadows listen. And Mara finds herself transmitting to more than just the living.

As strange requests pour in-sirens in the music, weather reports from impossible storms, news bulletins for tragedies that haven't happened yet-Mara begins to realize she's not running the station anymore. Something else is. And it's using her show to open a frequency into a city that exists only between stations, where the dead still have things to say... and where listening too long might mean joining them.

Blending creeping dread with supernatural mystery, Dead City Radio is a haunting journey into the places sound can go when no one is supposed to be listening. Perfect for fans of Pontypool, The Ring, and Welcome to Night Vale, this is late-night horror at its most unsettling.

Tune in if you dare. Just remember-once you hear the signal, it hears you.
