A new age of horror and madness begins with a city in fear. Its terrified populace watches an unstoppable madman leave a bloody trail of destruction in his wake. As reporters and police hunt their quarry, they enter a world of inner fears and public horrors, where nightmares are made real.

Madness and evil are everywhere. In everyone. In everything. Planet Earth is changing to fulfill a new role in the universe: a new Hell. All over the world, civilization has fallen. The human race is under attack from its own shadows, sins, and deepest fears. The survivors face a surreal existence where only the darkest dreams come true. No one is safe. And everyone is on trial.

Poetic justice and naked cruelty. Personal demons and infernal beasts. It's all here.

Ollin Productions presents a radiodrama for the digital age, a world where monsters and mayhem are shaping the world to fulfill a new, disturbing purpose -- AFTERHELL.

This program began as an experiment among friends who wanted to know how much was too much. The gauntlet was thrown down in 1980 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, who produced the controversial radio series "Nightfall." Ollin Productions picks up where they left off. "Afterhell" is the result.

The first episode, "Dark Descent," offers a glimpse at the middle ground where order and chaos meet.

It's not another "Twilight Zone" knock-off. It's not Son of "Night Gallery." This is your gateway to a new, nightmarish world -- a virus for the ear and the mind.

One world ends. The nightmare begins. And it spreads.

Listen if you dare.
