Selecting Our Favorite Short Horror Games of 2022 [Safe Room Podcast]
Before diving into the first of our end-of-the-year coverage, listen to last month’s edition of The Inventory, Safe Room’s monthly review round-up.
Between finalizing holiday plans, purchasing gifts, and compiling those dreaded (or delightful) end-of-the-year lists, we are officially in our mad dash to the end of the year!
This year Neil and I started our monthly segment, Horror Bytes, in which we highlight bite-sized indie horror titles. Which began as an exercise to experience a more comprehensive, and let’s face it, weirder, types of horror experiences. The show flourished into a monthly personal highlight for us, as we experienced countless slices of horror that had their own unique flavors.
We also invited guests to bring their picks to our proverbial spooky table, furthering our dive into the never-shrinking pool of horror delights. And somehow, we narrowed our respective lists down to merely EIGHT Horror Bytes from the year. And while all couldn’t make the list, we recommend everyone to go back and listen to past episodes of Horror Bytes as, more often than not, the games we cover ended up delivering in one way or another.
And as always, while some of these titles we’ll be discussing are free to play, we believe it’s important to support the developer’s hard work: So, if you can, please support them through their itch.io, Steam, or Patreon pages. And it’s the season of giving, so support those who make the content you enjoy. – Jay Krieger

Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’ Returns to ‘The Shining’ With Mixed Results [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
“Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.”
The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast heads to Frazier, New Hampshire to review Stephen King’s 2013 novel, Doctor Sleep. The sequel to 1977’s The Shining follows a much-older Danny Torrance, whose battle with alcoholism becomes all the more complicated when he crosses paths with a young child who also has the shine.
Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey as they discuss the True Knot, dirty dishes with poundcake, and debate if King should have ever burned down The Overlook Hotel. Note: This episode was recorded in 2019 and is being re-released today as part of their ensuing chronological read-through.
Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an episode on Bryan Fuller’s Carrie. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
