What if your quest for cheap parking led you to an underground garage with no means of exit and you just kept going down and down?
This is what happens to the narrator of “Cheap Parking,” written by Sarah K. Rodden, produced by Phil Michalski, and narrated by Danielle McRae on the NoSleep podcast. It is the second story on this episode of the podcast and starts around 19:35.
This is a gripping little horror story. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I highly recommend it. “Cheap Parking” is Sarah’s second professional fiction sale to the NoSleep podcast. Also, check out her first story, “Recalculating,” which begins at about 18:20. After listening to it, you may never trust your GPS again.
Sarah’s father is Robert Rodden II, who I published in October Dreams: A Harvest of Horror 31 years ago. His novelette “Sun Tea” from that anthology is also a suspenseful, horrifying tale, and is available in paperback and digital form.
As I cautioned when I mentioned the NoSleep podcast here just under three years ago, these stories are not for children. So send the kiddies to bed, settle down with a glass of wine, and leave the lights on.
