The Black Pyramid
An Investigative Fiction Podcast
The Black Pyramid is a serialized fictional investigative podcast examining a story most people believe is finished — and a truth that refuses to stay buried.
Emma Lane is the host of a widely followed online investigative show, known for dissecting cold cases, unexplained disappearances, and stories dismissed as myth. At a fan convention, she’s handed a novel by an attendee who insists it isn’t fiction.
The book is The Black Pyramid, written by a reclusive researcher named Hale Mercer.
Overview: The Black Pyramid Podcast
At first, Emma assumes the novel is a well-crafted piece of supernatural storytelling. But as she begins fact-checking the events described inside its pages, she discovers disturbing connections to real disappearances, sealed police files, and witnesses who refuse to speak on record.
Determined to separate truth from invention, Emma tracks down Mercer himself.
Instead of answers, he gives her something far more dangerous:
a box of evidence that recently appeared on his doorstep.
Inside are audio recordings, photographs, police reports, and personal notes tied to a decades-old investigation that was never officially closed — and may never have truly ended.
As Emma reconstructs the case episode by episode, she uncovers a pattern of missing persons, institutional silence, and a massive, unexplainable structure rumored to exist deep in the woods.
Authorities deny it exists.
Locals won’t discuss it.
And those who went looking for it never came back the same — if they came back at all.
Some sources recant.
Others disappear.
And more than one person warns Emma to stop asking questions.
How the Podcast Connects to the Novels
The Black Pyramid podcast expands the world of The Unveiling Files series.
The novella The Black Pyramid documents the original investigation and the events surrounding the disappearance that started it all.
The podcast begins after the novel ends, following newly surfaced evidence that was never made public.
New listeners can begin here.
Readers of the novels will recognize familiar names, locations, and patterns — and discover what happened after the last page was turned.
No prior reading is required.
But the truth runs deeper if you follow the full trail.
