Coming soon... a new horror podcast I've created, produced and hosted. 

EERIE is an 8-episode anthology audio series of original horror stories from some of the most exciting contemporary voices in horror, pulled from literature, film & TV. Brand new original stories commissioned from authors Julia Armfield, Kirsty Logan and Alison Rumfitt, theatremaker Willy Hudson, actors Marli Siu and Jemma Moore, filmmaker Paris Zarcilla, and even a twisted little story from me. 

Each story brings a different flavour of scary, from the haunting to the grotesque, to suit different sensibilities and fright thresholds. Every listener will find something that truly creeps them out. 

The first episode will be released Monday 2nd October, with new episodes released twice weekly in the lead up to Halloween. Episodes will be available across all podcast platforms.
