While our kickstarter is running, we figured we'd share some other shows we love!

DEADWOOD is a horror anthology podcast centered around an eldritch god along with several other stories featuring immortal entities and ghosts, both literal and metaphorical. Some stories are more standalone than others, but all focus on themes of grief, betrayal, familial love, hope, identity, survival, queerness, mental illness, and what it means to be different when the world dies around you.

It features excellent writing, and an incredible cast and crew, including Rhys Tirado, who plays Tinker in The Mechadova Engine. It is created by Saniyah Hill, a talented black and queer creator. If you're looking for some horror this February, give it a listen! Here is the full second episode: "Reopen".
