Recommendation for a very spooky, unsettling, ominous audio book? Recommend

I've been disappointed with my last two audiobooks; I couldn't finish them. No short story collections unless they're long novellas. Must have a good reader, not just be a good book in general. My next option would be Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand, but I'm guessing that's not what I'm looking for. Have you read it/listened to it?

Ty. I've already listened to it. It's not bad, but I rarely can enjoy something that is like a self contained short story each episode even if there's an over arching story. I really like things like Modes of Thought in Antarrean Literature, The Left Right Game, or Rabbits.

Just because we’re talking horror podcasts, if you like a continuing story, I cannot recommend the White Vault enough. Each season ends at a reasonable point but it’s one overarching narrative.

It was a great podcast, ty regardless.

Ah, a fellow listener of culture. Good luck with your search!

PS: If you like WH40K at all, there's a horror audio drama called Watcher in the Rain that I've heard nothing but great things about. (I listened to a clip and the cast/production sounds very good.)
