His Black Tongue: A Medieval Horror - E1: 1349

Sun, 08 May 2022 04:00:00 -0400

There is no plague in Enfaire…

Dead things have been found in the fields of Enfaire, a God-fearing town north of Reams. Not just dead things but twisted forms… unholy shapes. And there are rumours, too—of a blasphemous union and of fell creatures that haunt the night. Yet, even as plague and witch pyres blacken the sky, the town remains untouched by the malady that has already claimed thousands and will claim thousands more.

It is here, in Enfaire, that an old Franciscan friar and his ward take shelter from a storm. It is here, in a little town on the edge of civilization, that they will have their faith truly tested.

His Black Tongue is a tale of medieval horror, plunging the reader into the plague-torn land of 14th century France, when pestilence and death walked hand-in-hand, and life was little more than a sputtering candle, waiting to be put out.

But in Midstadt, they’ve found something… something they shouldn’t have…

Esca

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Send us a text

The depths of the ocean are as dark and unknowable as the emptiness of space. But to Doctor Clair Margraves, a marine biologist, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of discovery to sate her curiosity. Her next adventure will see her piloting a deep-submersion vehicle on its maiden voyage to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. But something strange is going on at the bottom of the ocean floor, something she’s never seen before. And she intends to find out what.

In Esca, Erica Shaef has created a claustrophobic horror of immense proportions, combining our own natural fear of what might lurk just beneath the surface of the sea with something entirely unnatural.

Performed by Anna Capraro and Scott Miller.

Honengyo

Another village has been found in ruin, with only the massive prints of a monstrous creature left to identify the culprit. The Honengyo has turned upon the people of the Hoshin clan, and only death and destruction will sate its appetite. Left with little choice, Lord Torogawa calls upon the infamous wandering samurai, Shintaro Oba, to deal with the beast. But can he and his demon-killing sword, Koumakiri, prevail against something as old as the very mountains themselves? And what of his own personal quest for vengeance?

C.L. Werner's Honengyo transports us to feudal Japan, where quarrelling clans and treacherous assassins leave chaos in their wake, while cunning sorcerers and demons align with one another to bring about a new order.

Julia is a care robot. A technological marvel created in a world not so different from our own. Designed to function with the utmost care and precision, she is charged with looking after an eccentric old professor. Things seem normal at first, but when she starts losing time, her suspicions turn to the old man - and then things really get weird.

Madison Kilian’s beautifully crafted tale brings the horrors of the 20th century face-to-face with the particular threats made possible only by modern technology. In The King in Binary, clever prose and a tightly crafted plot knit together a tale worthy of the old masters themselves.

Julia is a care robot. A technological marvel created in a world not so different from our own. Designed to function with the utmost care and precision, she is charged with looking after an eccentric old professor. Things seem normal at first, but when she starts losing time, her suspicions turn to the old man. And then things really get weird.

Madison Kilian’s beautifully crafted tale brings the horrors of the 20th century face-to-face with the particular threats made possible only by modern technology. In The King in Binary, clever prose and a tightly crafted plot knit together a tale worthy of the old masters themselves!

Performed by Anna Capraro, Scott Miller, Brett Allen-White and Jana Krige
With a score from Mitchell Luthi

Cthulhu vs. Kaiju

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 11:00:00 -0400

It's been years since the first Emergence, since the first specimen of the kaiju scourge awoke from millennia of dormancy beneath the sea and wrought untold devastation upon the cities of man. Much has since been lost, but a great deal gained, too. In the crucible of extinction-level events, a new breed of super-soldier, capable of interfacing with the beasts, was born.

We follow Captain Reynolds and his crewmates, Kiyo and Maks, seasoned kaiju pilots with many an averted disaster beneath their belts. To them, saving the Earth is just another day at the office, and they thought they'd seen it all... Until the balance begins to tip in favour of a new threat, of a being far more ancient and powerful than they have yet encountered. Everything is in place.

The stars have finally aligned.In Cthulhu vs. Kaiju, epic fantasy author Mitchell Lüthi has penned a love letter to both cosmic horror and kaiju with a single stroke of his pen, and harnesses the chilling ambience of At the Mountains of Madness and the action-packed ostentation of Pacific Rim. This one will leave you breathless, and clawing at your ears for the voices to stop.

The House of Wolves

There is magic to be found in The House of Wolves, and memories too. At least, that's what the nameless young woman who wakes up in one of its rooms is told. And with no memory of how she got there, or where there even is, she's forced to place her trust in Pakta—her guide.

Together they embark on a journey through the strange world she finds herself in and slowly unlock the memories of the life that led her there. But Pakta has a secret of his own… and not all secrets are worth sharing.

Gaiman meets Miyazaki in this twisting tale of magic, friendship, and the darkness that hovers at the edges.
