Dreamers, fear the strangers in your midst. Travel is not advised. Alas, it was to none but me, ah, but I call it love. This is Spines. Note to future Nyx. There is a curse upon my every waking breath, and I cannot escape the darkness. A god must feed. A god must be fed. Why are there no stars? I call the only road's end, the last gasp of light's breath. Good night, Night Vale, statement ends.

🚨 New Fiction Podcast Alert 🚨
hey all :)
so i made an audio drama called Flickers !
If you like audio dramas like The White Vault, The Cellar Letters, or The Hyacinth Disaster, I think you're really gonna like Flickers.
It follows Alex, a 17-year old left alone to sort through her late-grandfather's belongings. She mourns the lost link to her ancestral heritage, but when a blizzard hits & knocks out power to the area, she realizes that her grief is not the only thing she has to contend with.
episode one premieres today (listen here, transcripts and cws here)

Listening to another space horror adventure podcast because apparently I like listening to my favorite characters being killed, endangered, emotionally scarred, abused, exploited, and sad for hours on end.

Besides Malevolent, what other podcasts/audio works do you enjoy? Not limited to the horror genre. Malevolent is my first and I'm struggling to find others with the same level of quality right at the outset. Thanks for your response!
Not going to lie, you're going to have a hard time finding another fiction podcast at Malevolent's quality! No offense to everyone else, but the acting especially is just stellar for the medium. BUT, here are some others that I've really enjoyed. Most of my audio enjoyment is focused on horror fiction and Actualplays:
The Magnus Archives - If you're new to podcasts, this is really a must. It starts as an anthology as the narrator reads various statements from people who have encountered strange or supernatural things, and an overarching plot gets woven in over time. YMMV on the ending, I personally stopped after season 4, which to me was the perfect end.
Archive 81 - LOVED this one. The podcast, not the Netflix show. It is so weird, and so unique, it's hard to describe. It starts as another archive show similar to Magnus, but it branches into other dimensions, magical rituals, and the characters/acting are INCREDIBLE. Just so strange and wonderful, I was delighted at every turn. Season 1 is the roughest, so if you find yourself bouncing off, I recommend skipping straight to Season 3 and its followup. S3 + Left of the Dial are mostly self contained and don't need prior knowledge, and SO worth it. Someone come ship Michael/Aleister with me.
SAYER - Another Must Listen if only because there is an unusual amount of crossover between Malevolent and Sayer fans, lol. It's about an intelligent AI that handles personnel on a space station in the far, ultra capitalistic dystopian future. To be honest, I originally bounced after season 1, but recently I was encouraged to give it another try, and I'm EXTREMELY glad I did. It doesn't fully come into its own until around Season 3 imo but Season 4 is just SO good it makes everything worth it. Beware though that it's not finished and we don't know when the rest of the final season is coming ;_;
The Hyacinth Disaster - More of a thriller than horror, I haven't seen a lot of talk about it, but I enjoyed this one a LOT. It's about a bunch of space miners (like the crew of the original Alien) who are racing to mine valuable minerals from an asteroid, because they need the money to pay off a ransom. Which is a wild premise to begin with, and the quality is great.
If you are interested in Actual Plays that aren't the usual D&D (or even if you like that too) I recommend Dumb Dumbs and Dice, which has campaigns in several different systems, and The Neon Streets, which is Cyberpunk. Both casts are super talented, their stories are fast-paced with good use of the systems that don't get bogged down in dice, and they have a good mix of humor and drama. If you haven't done an actual play before, you might also want to try The Dark Dice, because it's edited so heavily that it feels like a regular drama most of the time. I would stop after season 1 though.
Omg I'm turning into a podcast slut XD. If anyone else has recs please put them in the replies!

Me, five episodes into a podcast called "The Hyacinth Disaster" : By Talos, this can't be happening.
