Season Two Trailer
9/7/2020
Our eyes have grown attuned to the brightly lit spaces of our world. Our minds and spirits disarmed, unprepared to confront the horrors that still lurk beyond the edge of the flickering light. But something remains hidden within us, something we have been told since childhood to never believe in, something that can't exist, but echoes in the tattered remnants of ancient cultures, of long-lost tomes. A secret suppressed by a foundation of lies to maintain control. Will we rediscover our true power or drown in a sea of our own shadows?
Sometimes the darkness is what it takes to finally see ourselves for who we truly are.
Dark Concepts is a bi-weekly, supernatural-horror podcast written and read by me, Brian J Cummings. Season two starts Monday, October 5th. Keep a candle nearby, because you never know when the lights will go out…
