Canister X – A.P. Fuchs

The Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

Last weekend we wrapped up the Second Season of THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast! Twenty-one episodes, twenty-one full-length short stories of superheroes, monsters, and horror.

The format was simple: Brief intro, straight dive into Story Time, then the Story Behind the Story, and, as usual, a post-credits scene. Done and done, the focus being all about the story. As for the finale, you not only got a story, but the story behind the story for that particular short story plus a story behind the story for the second season of the podcast itself! And, oh, did I mention a Spoken Word performance post-credits? Yeah, that’s there, too.

Season Three is coming with new stories and a new format, but that will arrive once we finish our 2024 book releases. In the meantime, the entire second season is available for you to listen to below.

Please subscribe to the channel so you’re not only set for other great video content, but also for Season Three when it arrives before end of year.

This second season drew upon several books for the tales, MAGIC MAN PLUS 15 TALES OF TERROR being the main source. If you’d like to show support for this past season, please consider grabbing a copy in paperback or eBook for your library. Book info here.

Enjoy!

Time for stories.

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP21 Season Two Podcast Finale –

Mr. Jitterbones

Episode 21: Mr. Jitterbones – It is 1889, one year after the Ripper murders plagued London’s East End. It’s Hallowe’en and homeless man Jack McClay is preparing to hand out treats to the poor children that wander the city streets. But like last autumn, something sinister lurks in the dark, and this particular creature is out for one thing: blood, and it doesn’t care where it gets it. The creature appears . . . and it’s all skin and bones. Clik-clakity-clak-clak. Mr. Jitterbones has arrived.

This is it! Welcome to the Season Two finale of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast with A.P. Fuchs. That’s two seasons in the can. Done and done. But none of it could have been done without you, dear listener, so thank you.

It’s my sincere hope you enjoyed this second season of short stories, both creepy and heroic. Monsters and heroes reign supreme here so I hope you were satisfied with what was delivered.

If you’re just tuning in now or have been sporadically throughout this past season, please go ahead and take a look at all previous episodes and pick out some that tickle your fancy and have a listen.

To celebrate the end of Season Two, this is an extended episode and there is a very special performance after the credits so stick around for that. If you’re into the Spoken Word artform, you’ll dig it.

Thank you again for tuning in this season. It is much appreciated, and don’t worry, there is more to come . . . in Season Three.

Yours,

A.P. Fuchs

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP19 –

World Were II

Episode 19: World Were II – A father. A son. A bunker with bombs going off overhead. World War 2. One of them is a werewolf.

Welcome to the show! After taking a quick few funny jabs at the Prairies here in Canada, host A.P. Fuchs immediately gets into it and invites you to a story that involves some elements of a dark chapter in his family’s history . . . but with werewolves! The Story Behind the Story gives a little history on Fuchs’s background and his family’s involvement with the horrors of World War 2.

As a special segment this episode, after the credits A.P. Fuchs makes a stand against AI writing and art and calls it for what it is: theft.

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP18 –

Landfill Buffet

Episode 18: Landfill Buffet – A man awakens in a forgotten corner of a garbage dump with a massive refrigerator pinning him from the waist down, trapped. The stench. The disease. The putrid stink of rotting trash. Worse, he’s not alone. Something squeaks . . . and it isn’t a mouse.

Shaking things up a bit, in this episode Fuchs gives a horror story with killer rats and no way out. All it takes is a nibble for them to get a taste for human flesh. A fun horror story and a nice switch-up from your standard monster stories. Fuchs gives a little insight into the tale in Story Behind the Story then has a special message just for you, dear listener, after the credits.

Thanks for tuning in to this shadowy, smelly tale of desperation.
