A proposito di questo titolo

The Kaidankai is a short fiction podcast featuring strange, supernatural, and dark stories across horror, fantasy, science fiction, and the uncanny.

The Kaidankai presents original short stories from experienced and emerging authors that explore the unsettling edges of human experience. These tales can be touching, scary, gruesome, funny, and even heartwarming.

From ghostly encounters and supernatural revenge to speculative futures and uncanny moments, the stories span genres while sharing a common atmosphere of mystery and unease. The Kaidankai is narrated with a focus on mood, pacing, and immersion. Whether a story leans toward horror, fantasy, science fiction, or something harder to define, each episode invites listeners to step into a world just slightly off-kilter.Copyright Linda Gould

  • La Loca by Robert Walton – A Mythic Tale of Revenge and Supernatural Justice
    Jan 21 2026
    A powerful retelling of the legend of La Loca, where betrayal, hypocrisy, and supernatural vengeance collide. A mythic tale of feral justice and reckoning.

    In this haunting story, justice is not delivered by courts or institutions, but by something older and wilder. La Loca is no innocent, but neither is she deserving of her fate. What follows is a reminder that some legends endure because they speak truths society would rather ignore.

    Robert Walton is a retired middle school teacher, rock climber and mountaineer with ascents in Yosemite and Pinnacles National Park. Walton is an experienced writer. His novel Dawn Drums won the 2014 New Mexico Book Awards Tony Hillerman Prize for best fiction. His novella “Vienna Station” won the Galaxy contest in 2011and was subsequently published by Rosetta Books. Most recently, his story “Suka Blat” was included in Alternative Truths, an anthology of protest literature.
