## Resource

Seeking three quiet months away from New York City, Jeremy retreats to an isolated farm in rural New Jersey with little more than a roomful of books and plans to spend the summer immersed in the classics of Gothic literature. At first, Poroth Farm seems ideal. His landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are reserved but welcoming, the countryside is peaceful, and Jeremy finally has all the solitude he could want. Then the natural rhythms of the farm begin to falter. Something strange moves through the woods. Animals behave in ways Jeremy cannot explain. Familiar creatures become suddenly unfamiliar. And as the summer wears on, Jeremy's comfortable skepticism is tested by a mounting series of incidents that seem increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence, superstition, or imagination. Surrounded by the very horror stories he came there to study, Jeremy begins to confront a far more disturbing possibility: perhaps the darkest ideas preserved in old books were never entirely fictional. T.E.D. Klein's “The Events at Poroth Farm” is a masterful slow burn of isolation, paranoia, cosmic dread, and creeping transformation, now presented as a standalone audio horror release and performed by Erik Peabody, longtime host of Horror Hill.
