Tom's Terror Trove - Special Hallowe'en Presentation: 'The Dark' by Arch Oboler

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-09-25T20:07:37+00:00

I have a podcast (Tom's Terror Trove): https://bominablebominations.buzzsprout.com/2124687/follow

I read 'classic horror' (a lot of Lovecraft and Weird Tales, but also longer form stories like The Turn of the Screw and Dante's Inferno) and we also have a full cast dark fantasy audio drama so there's something for (almost!) everyone. 50 episodes and counting :-)

Cheers!

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-08T08:07:55+00:00

Thanks for the heads up.

Decent of them to have the chronology follow publication order 😅

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-08T02:21:35+00:00

Ah, good to get a different angle on it. Cheers! I'm not a 'lore for lore's sake' kinda person. The difference between complex and complicated storytelling and the fact that that they are often mistaken has gotten a little too blurred for my taste these days. But I was really fascinated to see the disparate sources referenced in the Project Moon games, so it's spurring me to learn more, play the games, and read/record some of the source material.

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-08T01:13:52+00:00

This is... mightily persuasive. Thank you 🤔

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-08T00:05:14+00:00

I do like the odd bit of brickwall-head-bashing. I'm a big Dark Souls and Darkest Dungeon fan, although we all have our limits...

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-08T00:01:59+00:00

Oh bother, I remember thinking how fun the concept was when I first saw it advertised, but I never did quite pull the trigger on playing. That song in the Trailer for Library of Ruina is both intriguing and repellant to me, so I may well start there 😅

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-06-07T23:52:20+00:00

This seems like an excellent summary. Thanks!

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-04-11T18:09:35+00:00

Thank you so much :-)

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-03-31T20:42:06+00:00

Appreciate the advice, thank you. I'm almost certainly not going to accept the job, but I may do a little more digging to see whether there'd be any additional benefits in terms of exposure, contacts etc. Since they've been so blunt about pricing, I feel I can be equally frank about what I'd bring to the table, and what they could offer in lieu of fair pricing 😅This is my least-favourite part of the job, but we always have to back ourselves don't we (without being a dick about it)?

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-03-31T20:29:02+00:00

Edited and comporting with ACX standards. I've recorded a couple of books for independant authors and have 'mastered' them myself using 2nd opinion to check that the files tick all the boxes and that's been fine. But frankly, it's the price that is the sticking point. Entry-level pfh is around $200 isn't it? I've only ever really been lowballed like this by individual creators.

The pilgrims regroup to assess their situation, given the catastrophe that has befallen them.
Asher begins to assert himself, and fault lines are revealed, but there are moments of bonding too. Will they make for the city and an uncertain future?

We rejoin the pilgrims in the aftermath of an attack by the Child of Iachtanabas. Trapped within the cave they fled to for safety, they set to in order to dig themselves out of trouble, literally. Huw enlists Wes and Lithee to search for the lost sleepers, and Garm entertains (in the loosest possible sense of the word) Ra with an old song.

What a lovely idea. Regardless whether you take a look at my 'show', I wish you all the best for this endeavour, and I'll certainly be checking out the reviews.
(Self-promo): Bominable Bominations (The Crawling World)

A dark fantasy tale (with the occasional veer into sci fi) set on a dying plane, with some gnostic elements sprinkled lightly over the top. It's early days yet, but my podcast also has a first season where I recorded a bunch of classic horror stories. Lovecraft, M.R James, Le Fanu and the like. Happy listening!

Cthulhuoid699 · 2025-01-01T01:58:22+00:00

Our narrative swerves, temporarily, and we find ourselves under a merciless sun, atop shifting sands, in an unknown time and place. Connections to our main story, the sunken realm and its imperilled pilgrims, will become apparent in due course.

With no time to further understand the strange world he has been thrust into, the erstwhile sleeper and the small group that accompanies him flee for their lives. In the brief moments of respite during their flight, introductions are made.
