Synopsis:

A serialized fiction podcast of uncanny tales.

In a modern Britain haunted by its own history, Harker’s Variations follows two reluctant guardians navigating strange encounters with miskept relics, supernatural hungers, and faith that refuses to stay buried. Haunted bookshops, submerged archives, and dangerous rituals surface in ordinary streets, cafés, and cathedrals, revealing how old faiths continue to shape the present in ways both subtle and volatile.

These stories explore what happens when sacred things are handled without care—and what it costs to keep them without letting them consume the people who love them.

New episodes release on Tuesdays (with occasional interludes on Saturdays).

Episodes:

A Meeting at Harker's

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 03:48:57 GMT

This story begins, as many do, with a conversation that seems unimportant until it very much isn't.

Before we begin.

This story includes sensual and intimate description-language that lingers in the body and in desire, treated with care rather than spectacle. If that isn’t what you’re in the mood for just now, you may wish to return to it another time. Otherwise, it may be worth stopping for a moment. Some things ask for your full attention.


The Keys of Canterbury

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 04:26:19 GMT

This story concerns authority, access, and the long British habit of mistaking stewardship for ownership.


The Longing at St Bride's Kirk

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This episode takes place on an island, where certain feelings have been politely endured for far longer than is healthy.

Before we begin.

This episode carries an explicit label due to a single moment of strong language, brief and unadorned. It appears once, near the end, and is not otherwise repeated.


Sketches in the Margin: An Interlude

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

What follows isn’t a story in the usual sense. It’s closer, quieter, and more personal — a moment that slipped between chapters and didn’t ask to be kept.

This interlude includes intimate and sensual material, treated with care rather than spectacle. If that isn’t what you’re in the mood for just now, you may wish to return to it another time.

Otherwise, it may be worth stopping for a moment. Some things ask for your full attention.


Harker's, Interrupted

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This story is about good intentions, poor timing, and the quiet damage done when care is offered without consent.


The Saint of the Long Silence

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This episode travels north to a place where grief was meant to be endured, and discovers that endurance is not the same thing as care.


The Shape of Transcendence

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

This story is about transcendence — what it promises, what it costs, and the subtle moment when becoming more begins to mean becoming less.

It follows a retreat that offers healing without force, peace without doctrine, and a gentleness that asks very little — except, in time, for more of you than you intended to give.
