Hey folks! Eira here. This is just a reminder that the Q&A inbox will be closing tomorrow night at midnight BST! Get all your vampire related questions in before then. I'll be looking to answer as many as I can, just go to hangingslothstudios.com/qna and send your questions there. That's hangingslothstudios dot com forward slash Q N A, that's the letters 'q' for quite, 'n' for not and 'a' for... aardvark. 

Also! Another one of my shows, Remnants, is returning today for its second season. Remnants is a dark fantasy mystery show about a guy trapped in a strange, dreamlike space filled with objects which hold the memories of the dead. He doesn't know why he's there or what the purpose of searching through these objects is, and the only person he has to help is the mysterious and obtuse Sir, who is some kind of... thing. There are already 30 episodes out, plus today's brand new 31st episode. Here's the trailer for Season Two. Don't worry; there are no spoilers for S1 here, just vibes. 

TRAILER:

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS]

SIR

Does it worry you that everything is different? 

APPRENTICE

Honestly, I think it would worry me more if it was the same. 

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS, SLOWER]

‘Who are you?’ he asks.

‘I don’t know anymore. I’m not sure I ever did.’ 

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX STARTS, EVEN SLOWER]

APPRENTICE

No it— well it is your fault, frankly, but there’s no point in getting angry with you about it. It’s not like you remember anyway. 

SIR

I remember we were here and there was nothing. I remember you spoke about the Remnants. They tell stories. You said that to me.

[WHOOSH]

[MUSIC BOX CRANKS, BUT DOESN'T START]

Remnants returns for its second season on 6th October, 2025.

Hey, it’s Eira! Today I’d like to introduce you to a fabulous show, the Holmwood Foundation. It’s a modern sequel to the classic Victorian gothic vampire novel, Dracula. The story follows co-workers Maddie and Jeremy who become possessed by the ghosts of Mina and Jonathan Harker. Beginning at the Holmwood Foundation, an organisation which has been studying Dracula’s remains for the last 130 years, our possessed protagonists end up on a road-trip which they hope will give the ghosts of the Harkers what they want; to get rid of Dracula once and for all.

It’s a really stellar show which explores identity and self-discovery, family loyalty and devotion, and it has some lovely accompanying artwork. There is just one more episode of the show left to come, and it’ll be out on 19th of August, which means you have plenty of time to catch up on the first six episodes, but won’t have to wait long for the story to be completed.

A transcript for the episode you're about to listen to is in the description below. You can find more of the show wherever you listen to podcasts, including where you're listening right now, by searching ‘The Holmwood Foundation’. It’s the show with the sketch of the dismembered head on the cover. That's 'H-O-L-M-W-O-O-D Foundation. The Holmwood Foundation! I hope you enjoy listening to this first episode of the show.

Alfie risks everything to put an end to bonham’s work once and for all. What he finds is more - and less - than he bargained for. Sometimes the greatest horror is not a thing we witness or endure, but something we choose, of our own free will.
