Sometimes when l tell people I like horror podcasts they go "oh, same, I love true crime!!" and I just have to nod along, because there is no way to explain to them that we exist in entirely separate worlds and also that my opinion of them just went down by like 15%

My wife is walking towards me across the dancefloor, and as she passes, the hollow dancers wither, their ribcages folding in upon themselves, bowing in deflation.
Allegra’s face is cut with blood-black lines, etched squares and streets.
Her face is a jigsaw. Her face is a map.
Her eyes are doorways.

[Start ID: 10 photos of a bound book of the I am in Eskew transcripts. Photos 1 through 4 show the casing with and without a dust jacket. The dust jacket is marbled silver and white with the title written on it in black ink, and the casing is black leather with vertical insets of the same silver and white paper, grey book cloth, and red book cloth. Photos 5 through 10 show the inside: the red and black marbled endpapers, the silver and white decoration paper, the title page with an illustration of a bird turning into a city, a translucent vellum page before Chapter Zero: Initiation, the beginning of Chapter 15: Crossroads which displays the red binding, and a closeup of a page from episode 20: Cruelty. /End ID]
I have always had plans to, once I finished the titlecard art pieces, print them with their corresponding transcripts for myself. Then I decided that I wanted to add the lineart pieces. Then I realized that the transcripts were not fully accurate, so I went through and transcribed corrections to match the audio. Then I decided that I wanted to go back and redo a couple of the titlecard pieces, etc, etc. This printed version ended up not including any art-- I don’t have access to a printer which can handle that--but I wanted a physical copy which I could annotate. As a result, this thing is huge. It’s easily twice the size of any book I’ve bound before, and the cut edges are a bit wonky, but I’m still really happy with it.

my dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😋 this strain is called "i am in eskew" itll have you zoinked out of your gourd 💯
me: yeah whatever. i dont feel shit
5 hours later: dude i swear i just saw some worms digging in the dirt
my loving wife: you wont survive here. because you wont adapt. and how many chances, really, do you expect to be given? weve been more than kind to you, david. if we let you hold on to your little bag of toys, if we let you continue pretending that youre actually going to wake up one day and walk away from here…will that be enough to finally make you happy? because we can give you escapes. daring ones, moments of self-realisation and courage, and once the glow has begun to ebb away and youve picked at the fabric of your achievement until it’s clear that youre still in here with all of us…well, then you can escape all over again. and you can keep escaping. will that give you what you’ve been searching for?

thinking 💭 about the inverted funhouse mirror reflections of david ward's mommy issues in i am in eskew and VAL's in the silt verses. "i used to fantasise about the death of my mother as a way to explain why i feel so alienated from the people around me, but now i am alone in a strange place subjected to daily horrors i dream of the comfort she might have offered me" vs. "i used to dream of earning my mother's love in order to prove her wrong about there being something inherently hateful about me, but now i know that she had already given up on me i long to torture and kill her and act out that fantasy over and over on the people around me who i have been alienated from by my transfiguration into a saint".

Ok so I may or may not be ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with the Silt verses I’m literally begging give them a listen. Anyway I have been possessed by the urge to draw sister Carpenter because yes. She’s just. Very character. I would sell my souls for her

i love starting a new podcast that i know literally nothing about, settling in to be regaled with tales of unspeakable horrors and eldritch nightmares, only to be jumpscared by alexander j newall
