‘The Dark Verse’ Podcast Turns Novel in ‘From the Passages of Revenants’!
This morning we caught up with author M. Amanuensis Sharkchild who tells about his long-running horror project entitled The Dark Verse, a much-praised podcast sharing the strange works of Sharkchild with the sole purpose of introducing a unique world of horror and fantasy that will follow you to the visions of your sleep. Each episode consists of a short story written and narrated by Sharkchild. The content of the stories range from demented entities to gross worlds, undead recollections to philosophical and psychological possessions, and twisted, inventive imagery to unhindered terror.
“I started the podcast called The Dark Verse back in 2007. Every two weeks or so I write a horror/fantasy short story and then narrate it, putting it up on the web and on iTunes (I have 74 episodes/stories at this point),” he tells Bloody-Disgusting. “Then in 2009 I took the first 26 stories I wrote, had them edited, had my friend create some art, and put it all together in the self-published, hardback book “From the Passages of Revenants (The Dark Verse, Volume I)” (you can order it here; it comes signed!). The book got second place in the category of Horror in the Independent Book Publisher Awards.”
You can download all of the episodes on MP3 for free by clicking here, or search for “the dark verse” on iTunes.
