Edge of the forgotten
Let me tell you a story…
Well, no. Why don’t I let Steven J. Scearce and Bear Weiter tell you a story – or two, or more.
Pale Matter Podcasts, who are Writers Andy Scearce & Steven J. Scearce, and producer Bear Weiter have released a new podcast – Edge of the forgotten.
To use their own words, they describe Edge of the Forgotten as - “a new hybrid supernatural horror podcast from Pale Matter, creators of Station 151, featuring narrated fiction, full-cast audio drama, and three intertwining storylines that lead to one terrifying truth”. I believe that Andy Scearce and Bear Weiter are the driving force behind this project.
As of the time of writing there are four episodes live – three with straight narration and one produced as a full audio drama. Each episode so far has followed different people and their experiences with ‘The Undoing’, a personified ‘entity’ that it would seem affects… well you’ll have to listen to find out.
So far for me it has been a very enjoyable experience to listen to. The three narrated short stories are I have to say my favourites. The stories are simple, engaging and narrated with a delivery that draws you in. Now I say the stories are simple and that isn’t intended to be an insult - I simply mean that they are easy to follow and enjoy. They may leave you wondering what it is all about and what or who is the ‘Undoing’ but they aren’t overly convoluted where you find yourself lost. The Pale Matter team hint that all the stories are linked and that they are all both beginnings and endings – so there is some intrigue there.
I especially found the stories available as I write to be relaxing listening at the end of the day. Something to wind down with. They have a little of the Tales of the Unexpected vibe about them, and they are a gentle slow burn type of horror and something that you can relax with rather than a slap you around the face with bangs, crashes, screams, jump scares and gore type horror.
So if you are looking for something new to listen to then I’d recommend giving Edge of the Forgotten a spin. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Edge of the forgotten can be found on… well, lots of places so I will just include their Linktree link https://linktr.ee/PaleMatter
There is a website, however as yet it is just a holding page – something that I personally hope will develop into something more.
