Not Quite Dead is back, with spin-off series Snow Blood. Set years after the original story, Snow Blood follows Alfie and Neige as they attempt to start to build a better life for themselves and vampires everywhere. One problem; none of the other vampires want to help, and there is this guy who keeps calling, over and over, insisting Alfie comes to meet him... Snow Blood is crowdfunding on Kickstarter from 7th April to 8th May, 2026 and will air in October 2026.

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.
