Neophile

DraconumAudio

I've seen this house in my dreams for weeks now, maybe months. I didn't know where or what it was until recently, but I knew it was here. Waiting for me. Calling to me. Now I'm here, and it's creepy as. Haunted? Possessed? I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to leave again. --- Neophile is a fortnightly audio fiction podcast, following the adventures of one Kasey James, paranormal explorer, as she delves into the worlds beneath the world. Season 1, The Bridge House, is the story of Kasey's entry into the strange world of haunts and eldritch horrors from beyond our universe. read less
