A serialized fiction podcast of uncanny tales. In a modern Britain haunted by its own history, Harker’s Variations follows two reluctant guardians navigating strange encounters with miskept relics, supernatural hungers, and faith that refuses to stay buried. Haunted bookshops, submerged archives, and dangerous rituals surface in ordinary streets, cafés, and cathedrals, revealing how old faiths continue to shape the present in ways both subtle and volatile. These stories explore what happens when sacred things are handled without care—and what it costs to keep them without letting them consume the people who love them. New episodes release on Tuesdays (with occasional interludes on Saturdays).
