I loved reading horror stories when I was growing up. Some of my favorites included gothic literature like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein. When I was a teacher, I played audiobooks while the students read along (multiple modalities), and they especially liked the ones with sound effects or music in them. It would create a more immersive environment. I could not always afford to buy the nice audiobooks for my classes, so I was sometimes limited to what I could find in the library or on YouTube. Taking my love of horror and using my classroom experience as inspriation, I thought it would be fun to create a podcast that read horror stories from the works available in Project Gutenberg-tm<\/a>. Since the scene is set during a storm, I added the light rain and thunder sound. Then, I faded from the light rain to the music; I felt music adequately terrifying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
