Happy Halloween, my friends. Today, I’m delighted to announce a new project: the Planchette Horror podcast.
This project is a collaboration between Eleventyseven frontman Matt Langston and me. Together, we bring classic horror stories to life in a way you have never heard them before.
Our first offering is a retelling of H.P. Lovecraft’s Dagon, performed by me, with music and production by Matt Langston. Dagon explores themes of forbidden knowledge, ancient civilizations, and the human suffering that results from comprehending our place in a hostile universe. These are all themes that Lovecraft went on to perfect in his Cthulhu Mythos, and Dagon stands as an excellent introduction to his work.
Please listen to the episode (preferably with headphones) and give the podcast a follow on Spotify.
The future of Planchette Horror depends entirely on the reception of this first episode. If you love it and want to hear more, Matt and I will commit to making more episodes, so let your voice be heard. Follow it on Spotify, share it with your friends, post it on social media, and leave a comment with your thoughts below.
Oh my goodness! Exciting! Congrats!
Very well done! Excellent production values. Great music. Skilled narration. And a wonderful choice of story. A high-quality launch episode indeed.
