The Color and the Shape is a horror/sci-fi anthology podcast that explores the moment when you realize the world doesn't work the way you thought it did.

These are stories about people who got what they asked for and discovered too late what that actually meant. About trying to understand forces that operate on logic we can't quite grasp. About the gap between what something appears to be and what it actually is.

Each episode is a single, self-contained story told from the perspective of someone who lived through it. People trying to make sense of a reality that has quietly shifted beneath them.

Some episodes are about technology that does exactly what it was designed to do. Others explore places where the rules are different than they appear. Some are about cosmic forces that don't notice us at all. All of them are about the terror of understanding arriving too late...or not arriving at all.

What are the rules now, and can we survive them?

Episode Format

Each episode is a complete story. No cliffhangers. No ongoing plot. You can start anywhere.

Episodes release when they're ready.

Content Warning

While we avoid graphic violence, these stories deal with themes of existential dread, loss of agency, institutional abandonment, and psychological transformation. If you're sensitive to stories about losing control or being erased by systems, please approach with care.

We believe in horror that transforms rather than punishes—but transformation can still be devastating.
