About the author
Darkness Prevails is the storytelling persona behind the horror podcast network Eeriecast, and the byline under which its illustrated collections of ghost lore and cryptid folklore are published. The books listed here, including Creepy Campfire Stories and Freaky Folklore, gather short, illustrated tales of hauntings, monsters, and unexplained events, aimed at readers who enjoy campfire-style horror and regional folklore rather than academic treatment. Phantom Phenomena and Appalachian Folklore Unveiled extend the same format to true-crime-adjacent ghost stories and Appalachian folk traditions, both published by Wellfleet Press in 2024. Each title favors short, illustrated entries over sustained narrative, making the series suited to browsing rather than cover-to-cover reading. The books function as a shared brand for the Eeriecast podcast rather than the output of a single identified author, and readers looking for scholarly folklore studies should look elsewhere; these are popular, illustrated compendiums built for fans of spooky, bite-sized storytelling.
