it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.
Heartglass is available on an extended first-look. And the Kickstarter is on pre-launch. Backing at any tier gets you the full first episode months before it's available to the public. And at certain tiers, you can access episodes as they're finalized.

Gothic Western is one of my favorite sub-genres to sit with and enjoy. Now, I have started Preacher based on several recommendations but when I went to watch it Netflix played the last episode first and I was ignorant to the fact until pretty far in, so I had the a lot of the ending spoiled. I want to go back but I find the motivation hard to find. Also, special mention to Penny Dreadful and Supernatural for being super formative for Dead West but neither really sits firmly within Western Gothic.

I am going to follow this blog because I really like their insight into other audiodramas in the space. (/internally screaming "PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM ASKING FOR YOUR INSIGHT ON MY SHOW, I JUST LIKE THE WAY YOU USE WORDS AND I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IT ON MY FEED.)

Now our Kickstarter is over, have a fresh link to our pilot to tide you over until the rest of season one arrives!
Hoping to release some fun snippets and extras on our feed as we go, so please be sure to follow us on Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts!
WHAT IS THE HOLMWOOD FOUNDATION?
Our story follows Jeremy Larkin (Played by Sean Carlsen) and Maddie Townsend (Played by Rebecca Root), two co-workers at the mysterious Holmwood Foundation, as they are possessed by the ghosts of Jonathan and Mina Harker, and embark on a road trip across the country in an effort to achieve their ghost's wishes: to stop Dracula once and for all.
This is a story about identity and self discovery, family loyalty and devotion, all wrapped around a nightmare of a road trip with a rejuvenating severed head, incredibly sincere Victorian ghosts, and an analogue recorder

Dead West is a horror audio fiction series that is a blend of folk horror and weird western themes told in a re-imagined American Gilded age. A time when everything was stolen, blood was let, and society grappled with modernity. Find our show on all Podcatchers! Be sure to leave a rating and review.
