I'm Bobby Garrison — ACX approved narrator and producer — and I believe the greatest stories ever written aren't just entertainment. They're maps of the human mind. Dark Margins is where literature meets psychology. Every episode I take one of history's most powerful stories — betrayal, revenge, obsession, justice — and break down not just what happened, but what it reveals about the darkest and most fascinating corners of human nature. These aren't book reviews. This is forensic storytelling.The Sounds Of Stories Philosophy Social Sciences

  • This Isn't Revenge. This is Worse.
    Jun 14 2026

    The ancient Greeks told many stories about revenge.

    None are darker than Atreus and Thyestes.

    What begins as a betrayal between brothers slowly transforms into something far more disturbing—a revenge so extreme that it forces us to ask a difficult question:

    When does revenge stop being revenge and become evil?

    In this episode of Dark Margins, Bobby Garrison explores one of mythology's most infamous stories and the psychological boundary between justice and destruction.

    Because some wounds don't heal.

    And some people never stop feeding them.
