This is the best horror podcast. Period. Soren’s narrative style and voice are smooth and soothing in direct contrast to the subject matter which is rich and thought provoking. These episodes often leave you with questions and tempt to you a second listen in which dark truths are drawn out. Topics span across all genres and from time to time, there are guest narrators. Some of these stories hit so effectively that when recalling them, you may believe you dreamed them. A macabre delight.

I love this podcast for its slow developing eeriness and sense of foreboding, those heart pounding moments, and for its elegant simplicity. A huge factor for me is that Knifepoint is completely commercial-free! And no fluff in the beginning, just, “My name is…” and you’re in it! Commercials, especially in the middle of a spooky story, really kill it for me. I also don’t want abrupt scares, gratuitous descriptors of gore, or jarring sounds in my horrors podcasts. With Knifepoint, I prefer the most parred down episodes, with the single narrator and minimal sound effects, more than the ones with alternating dialogue and less-linear stories. But they’re all worth a listen!

I’ve been listening to Knife Point Horror for 5 or 6 years now. Multiple times I’ve gone back to the first episode and listened all the way through to the most current. I love these stories. I wish the episodes came out more frequently but I know it takes time to create work this good. Thank you Sorin and I hope the stories keep coming!

The only thing that I feel could make this podcast better is for you to post more often

Soren, thank you for bringing me back into the world of horror after a long hiatus. I’d slowly been turned off by the heavy handedness of gore and gruesome shock that is rampant in the genre. Your subtlety and competence in relaying the strange and unsettling is masterful.

I’ve been enjoying since 2016 , thank you so much. Never expected, but always on time

Happy to exist in the same timeline as this production. Thank you from Chicago.

After weeding through many others,these stories and their level-headed narration are the best that I've found.

My name is Eric L. I have been a fan since early conception. I consume what some may consider a morbid amount of audio horror. I enjoy the nuances; when an author is able to gravitate their audience around the characters and environments they have constructed, seamlessly , it’s an art. Soren is a master at his craft and I applaud the dedication. All without ads. Truly one of the best !

Soren is truly one of the greats. I’ve been following this podcast for years and he consistently produces some of the best horror fiction around (in any format). Absolutely a must-listen!

Good Grief!!!! I have never even enjoyed being scared before this podcast. #lifechanging #stepsisthetruth

That was a good one. Thank you.

I’d never found a podcast where every single episode is five stars until I discovered Knifepoint Horror. his delivery is perfect, the stories are well developed, and the creativity with which and narratives have been crafted is beyond measure. My only sadness is that there is not a new story every week.

The main narrator has this infuriating habit of frequently speaking the last word of a sentence, only the last, in the faintest whisper, especially when he considers that part of the story especially spooky or impactful. Have you ever been aggravated to tears by the sound of someone slurping their drink, or chewing loudly, or vocal fry? This molests my ears in exactly the same way. Also it makes it very hard to hear what he’s saying. I love the stories and the narration otherwise but please for the love of god just speak with a consistent volume.

The quality of stories are unmatched. I love the simple narration too.

This is the only podcast that makes me feel weird, thus the only one that matters.

I really enjoy Knifepoint, but Doggo was just the best, thank you.

Keep up the good work man I genuinely get excited when I see a new episode pop up.. hands down the best horror stories in podcast form

Love and have loved since 2017. Soren Narnia holds a special place in my heart. Weird stories to lull you into an ambiguous hypnagogia.

An utterly unique and work of art! His invention and ingenuity are positively endless. I have never failed to find myself surprised and shaken by the stories. The twists and turns are never predictable, they always go differently than my pedestrian imagination predicts. And they linger long after, fully blossoming in one’s memory. This is true deep horror, not all about sudden scares (though it has those too, moments where your blood will suddenly chill!), but more about tragedy — distilled and condensed— leaving you with a real sense of all that is terrifying, haunted, sad and mysterious in the world and in the human soul.

I see people complaining about the narrator’s cadence, and I can understand what they mean, but skill issue, I guess. I’ve listened to every episode and every new one is an instant listen. One of my favorite horror podcasts.

Each new episode is a gift of intelligent writing, great stories & narration. It’s thrilling to see new ones appear and I can’t wait to open them. Thanks Soren!

Seriously. Every sentence the guy utters ends in a whisper, makes it very hard to follow the story because it’s distracting. The cadence is verrrrry William Shatner in Star Trek….

I love the stories but each sentence spoken by the narrator seems to descend into a difficult to hear whisper. The beginning of each line is spoken at a volume that’s easy to hear. About halfway through the narrator drops his voice to a low whisper. I realize this is probably by design. It’s just hard to keep turning the volume up and down throughout the story.

I check my feed at least once a week hoping for a new story from Knifepoint and whenever a new one goes up I devour it. Soren’s causal and understated style is like a friend telling me a story, I can see it and it always feels true

Every time knifepoint posts, I know the story is going to be good. It’s always worth the wait.

I appreciate this show for being ad-free and having great horror content. However, I use this podcast to fall asleep to and the volume differences in the narrator's voice make it difficult. He starts off most sentences loud and strong, but then tapers off at the end making it hard to understand what they said.

every time there’s a new episode that pops up here it’s like an early Christmas present

Sabbatical just dropped and it’s as great as all the rest. Mr. Narnia graces us with an episode it’s always a marvelous creepy listen. Thanks for providing us with these stories. I think it’s time to go back to the beginning and telisten to the lot for the third time. Highly recommended. KKN

Love the stories! But the heavily punctuated audio made the pace of listening difficult.

I’ve been listening to every episode for the last couple days. I forgot how much I love these stories. This being the first podcast I ever listened to,Fields being the first of many. Thank you for opening up a world of horror and keeping the genre unique and original. J. Bender

I absolutely love this show, it’s the only one I can’t wait for. Keep it up please😬

I listen to a lot of horror podcasts, but nothing comes close to Knifepoint. I love that we are just dropped into the story; no preamble, no signposting or self promotion. We’re just… there. The delivery was always spot on, but with the addition of more readers who are equally talented the podcast has taken on an eerily realistic documentary quality. And this is only amplified by the sound design, which is perfectly understated and never overproduced.

I’ve been a long time listener and love the show. I just finished Bots and wanted to tell you I loved it. I love all your work but that one was excellent. Keep it up!

I’m a horror audiophile, an odd addiction that began years ago. Good horror listening is a balance of performance and the narrative itself. I found knifepoint horror at college(ucsc), which for those of you who don’t know is a college up in a redwood forest. Sometimes I’d have dark walks through forest paths and my only company was this podcast. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Sorens’ stories have an offbeat horrifying element to them, while his voice acting provides a sense of comfort and familiarity for me. For this reason, I also like listening to this stuff as I fall asleep. SN is my favorite author of all time and his writings are the pinnacle the online horror community has to offer. They are thought-provoking pieces that satisfy a need for horror content that is scary in a very real, non-gimmicky way. Not sure if he’d ever do live stuff or make merch, but I’d be there and buy it all. For anyone who enjoys this guys authorship, he has a non-horror podcast with some real gems(Those Snowy Nights You Read to Me, They’ll Never Be Forgotten). Soren, with all the appreciation in the world for what you do, you are an absolute madman for posting these stories for free. I am forever grateful.

I consume way too much horror media. Fellow gluttons might agree that most is overdone, half-baked, or simply difficult to swallow… Not so here my hungry friend! Knifepoint horror will satisfy your appetite for authentic yet flawlessly executed horror.

I listen, read, and watch tons of horror media (spooky season’s way too short for my tastes!) and this podcast is straight up my favorite one that I’ve discovered 🙌 Absolutely master storytelling delivery.

Otherwise, enjoy the most literate and sublime horror podcast out there. This is a huge contrast to a certain horror podcast riddled with undisciplined, blithe cringe writing AND narration and a spectrum of other good but consistently flawed shows: - Mispronunciations - Cheesy, unbelievably interjected sound effects - Pompous, unfazed narration - Unscary horror unless losing your wifi is your biggest fear It gets harder and harder to come up with variations on horror that are still scary. The host really comes through on this while excellently portraying increasingly horrific day-to-day happenings in a variety of walks of life. True, he may not be recording wild-eyed and smashing up his studio every second but if you are used to focusing on and comprehending anything beyond a video ad your time will be greatly rewarded. Update: Soren, in your new episode you sound a ton like the jaded gun factory owner’s son who punched me in the kidney for fun once. Please don’t get THAT into your craft, but you are THE man when it comes to this stuff. Your acting and writing are Hollywood-level! 6 (remote and mysterious) stars for all you do. This latest episode is an awesomely cryptic funnel into one great big dark wowfest.

I’ve listened to an obscene number of horror podcasts in the past 7 years. Went through NoSleep, CTFDN, TWL, Creepy, Tales to Terrify, PseudoPod, Nightmare Magazine, et al. This is THE horror podcast. Nothing else comes close to Knifepoint. The stories and storyteller (mostly the author) are phenomenal. Straight goods, no filler. And the stories just get better w each listen.

Do you love the smell of your own farts? Do you think your taste in "art" is more refined and intelligent than most? Do you drink with your pinky out? Whenever someone says they like something, do you always feel an urge to interject with, "Hm, actually..."? Then you'll probably love this! One line by the insufferable narrator basically says it all: "I have a great memory...it's probably photographic" *does a cool guy sniff* 🤮

Listen to this podcast. The dry and dull monotone will put you right out.

Given the gift of a new episode today!! Thank you! ❤️

Want more Soren, I always do … listen to sibling horror.

been listening / reading soren’s stories since 2015 and there still is nothing better. his stories are a great reminder that mystery is one of the true treasures of this universe - his stories are so incredibly crafted and impeccable with its details that they will get under yer skin, seep deep into the crevices of your mind, making you return again and again trying to find some of details missed the first ten times thru (and there are always more depths to plumb), yet the unknowns permeate and settle deep like ancient new england burying grounds that have secrets we are just never meant to know.

Unconventional, but then again not always. Nightmarish often. Facetious too. Calming and intoxicating. My favorite.

I love this podcast! It is my absolute favorite!

Very good stories!

Some stories are whimsical, others chilling. Many seem to have been drafted stream-of-consciousness, as the twists they take are often surprising. The few times a story doesn’t land, it still has great craft.

Unnerving in all of the best ways.

This is the first podcast I ever listened to. And it’s still my favorite.Please keep the episodes coming! The reading is spot on and captivating.I hope it becomes more frequent. It just doesn’t get any better!!!
