The Hungry Dark podcast
Project Overview
This call is for the first episode of a horror/supernatural mystery audio drama, which is about 30-45 minutes. If the result is satisfying, a maximum of ten other episodes are planned.
Plot:
In an alternative Edwardian Britain, a young man goes missing leaving behind weird symbols. Following the police's refusal to investigate the case, his sister Maeve takes it upon herself to solve the mystery and bring him home.
However, the 'silly' magic books her brother used to read and that are now her only lead, might uncover secrets she is not ready for and unleash a terrible force that will endanger her and all those she loves.
Voice Actor

Well, I'm sure he was a good man, but he was quite... Strange.
