Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes. All stories you will hear were written by a collection of talented writers, authors, and storytellers, both independent and professional.
In today’s episode we’ll be reading The Thing in the Wall which was sent in to us by Alec Rowan. Alec writes across sci-fi, horror, and fantasy, stories shaped by King and Koontz, but also by the ruined wastelands of Fallout, the dread of Silent Hill, and the survival horror of Resident Evil. He is drawn to haunted cities, forgotten technology, and the fragile hope that survives when the world turns dark. Recent works include Witchfire Awakens and Ashes of the Damned. He is currently working on the Paladin’s Vow trilogy, starting with Below the Surface, a dark blend of fantasy and sci-fi where missing orcs, corporate secrets, and magic experiments collide.
We truly hope you enjoy this terrifying, nightmare-esque tale! If you would like to hear more from Alec Rowan, you can find more information about him on his website and social media.
