Dead Air Theater

Dead Air Theater lives in the dark between spaces, where monsters breathe and impossible things feel briefly, dangerously real.Most stories stand alone, drifting from the monstrous and the haunted to the strange, the speculative, and the quietly unsettling. Eldritch entities, broken futures, small-town horrors, and eerie bedtime stories all share the same spaces.A few threads do run deeper for those who listen closely. Some stories echo, some return, and some, The Marble Tales in particular, reward a careful ear, but no map is required to step inside.https://linktr.ee/edwardbakervo Hosted on Acast.

    71. One Hell of a Ride

    Darren buys his first car so he and his friends can drive out of town to see their favorite band live. He chooses a hearse. It's stylish, elegant, impossible to ignore, and complete with a coffin in the back.I had a blast putting this one together! I changed the ending about three and a half times so I definitely don't know how to feel about it. I do hope y'all enjoy it!As always, Thank youDAT Discord and Socials Hosted on Acast.

    70. Shorties

    Welcome to Shorties.I figured we’d do something a little different tonight.I pulled together a few of my shorter pieces. Some of these started as TikTok stories, quick hits… the kind that get in, get under your skin, and get out before you can shake them. And I’ve added one new story in there too.So this is a bit of a variety episode. A sampler.Tonight, you’re going to hear:Hallway.Duke.…and Scarecrow.Three short trips. Three different kinds of wrong.I hope you like them.Thank you,EdwardDAT Discord and Socials Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
