Galactic Horrors

by Galactic Horrors

Original dark science fiction stories, told as standalone narrated episodes. Ships, stations, labs and border worlds; deep-space missions, black projects, quarantined facilities and forgotten sectors where the plan makes sense on paper right up until it doesn’t. These are slow-burn, grounded stories about technology, secrecy and the people caught in the gap between what was promised and what actually happens. If you like quiet dread, institutional cover-ups and futures that feel uncomfortably plausible, this is your channel. All stories, artwork, and thumbnails are original to Galactic Horrors. We do not accept submissions. Disclosure: This show includes AI-generated elements. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I look forward to Galactic Horrors stories everyday! The initial hook is the language and the witty way he weaves words together. As you listen to his stories, you realize you are listening to more than just horror. Each episode is creatively crafted to shine a spotlight on the horrors of our society through complex situations in various futuristic, science-fiction settings. He combines corporate corruption with psychological and societal issues, impossible choices that have to be made in the most horrific situations and the humans who are caught having to live with the consequences. Fabulously entertaining without needless gore, foul language, or s3xual content!

StephChelle · Feb 2026

This “hard sci-fi/horror” podcast has consistently unique, engaging stories and some wild ideas. The narrator’s voice is pleasant.

KaijuJohnny · Dec 2025

I started following the narrator back when they were with Gunpowder and Sky doing the Chrysalis series which in retrospect is a masterpiece on Dust. The episodes here on Galactic Horrors is a different level of lower qualify all together. Galactic Horror seem to be an amalgamation of redundant tropes similar shallow characters development and predictable story arks. I’m a commercial driver so I need long form content to fill the endless hours I spend driving. On the upside this podcast is consistent and well engineered, on the downside I suspect it’s 100% AI written and AI performed. It lacks creativity and direction but it fills a niche of you really need something to bing listen to after you’ve exhausted all your favorite podcast, albums and YouTube shorts.

JAMuhammad · Sep 2025

I’ve listened to about 15 episodes so far. The problem I have with this podcast is that it’s very repetitive as far as the plot goes. There’s too many episodes where there might be AI involved or aliens involved and what it ends up being is a big argument on earth about the ethics of dealing with AI or aliens. One or two episodes I can understand. But the number of episodes so far that I’ve heard that deal with this. It’s just a little too much and makes it very boring. I want to just hear good old fashion sci-fi with aliens and cosmic revelations and things like that. This is supposed to be sci-fi not something that deals with the ethics of AI or alien intrusion just give me real sci-fi. I’m going to listen to a few more episodes and if there’s one more that deals with people on earth arguing over whether AI or aliens have a right to life and the ethics of all that I’m just gonna unsubscribe. This podcast just needs more scary elements into it. When I think of sci-fi, I think of things that should scare me not things that make me question the ethics of whether or not an alien should get equal treatment on planet earth or an AI life form should get equal treatment.
