Each episode of The Lantern Anthology is a self-contained tale drawn from a fictional collection of lost and forbidden literature — forgotten folklore, abandoned manuscripts, letters never sent. The stories wander through isolated farmhouses at dusk, towns swallowed by forest, and roads that appear only on maps no one remembers drawing. Some whisper of bargains made with creatures beneath the floorboards; others speak of inheritances that should have been refused. There is no single arc, only the quiet certainty that the next story might be the one that follows you home. Luna's voice is a low, unhurried presence, as if she knows you are listening in the dark. Settle in. The lamp is lit, and the pages are turning. #TheLanternAnthology #LanternStories #AtmosphericHorror #FolkloreHorror #ForgottenTales #LostLiterature #CandlelitHorror #IsolatedHorror #RuralDread #StorybookHorror #NarratedHorror #FictionalFolklore #AbandonedPlaces #MidnightReading #CreepyTales #Horror #HorrorPodcast #StorytellingHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.co…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T08:18:15.159395+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468"},"episode":{"title":"The Night the Bait Shop Clerk Found the Map at Lake Dardanelle","slug":"the-night-the-bait-shop-clerk-found-the-map-at-lake-dardanelle","published_at":"2026-07-16T16:32:48+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468/the-night-the-bait-shop-clerk-found-the-map-at-lake-dardanelle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/the-lantern-anthology/episode-0073.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/the-lantern-anthology/episode-0073.mp3","summary":"September 1993. The bait shop on Lake Dardanelle stays open late for fishermen who know the catfish run after midnight. Luna's cousin Ray worked the counter that summer—selling minnows, wiping down the glass case, listening to the AM radio crackle between stations. But one night a man came in who didn't want bait. He wanted a fishing spot that wasn't on any map. He pointed to a cove that Ray had never heard of, and when Ray said he didn't know it, the man just smiled. He left a folded paper on the counter. The paper showed a hand-drawn map of the lake—but the lake was wrong. There was an island in the middle that shouldn't have been there. Ray kept the map. He never went looking for the island. But he started locking the shop door at dusk, and he stopped going out on the water alone. This is the story of what he saw the night he almost unfolded it again. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheLanternAnthology #LakeDardanelle #BaitShop #Map #Arkansas #1993 #Clerk #Island #MissingCove #Fishing #Catfish #GasStationCoffee #NightShift #PaperRoute #CousinRay #Unfolded Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"September 1993.
