Burdened with a creative block for their second project, troubled young writer Joan Cassidy finds escape at Twig Lake Resort. This charming lakeside retreat in rural Ontario is practically empty, aside from the mother-daughter duo that run the place, their sole employee, and a cute guy in the cabin next door: a perfect place to find inspiration. Yet, as the days creep by, Joan finds that their newfound escape might be a novel nightmare, as their fears begin to twist and brand this vacation in utterly unimaginable ways. They must determine if these strange occurrences are merely their imagination cracking under the pressure, or if they’re cornered by something far more suffocating.Regardless, one thing is clear: something is haunting Joan Cassidy, and they must determine if there is really any escaping that which lurks beyond the treeline, breathless to consume. Equal parts snug, sinister, and blisteringly emotional, Goldenrod is a horror-drama scripted fiction podcast, airing weekly in eight parts. It is intended for mature listeners, and content warnings can be found in the descriptions of each episode. Headphones are recommended.

Did you know we have a Patreon? Did you know we're doing some pretty cool things over there? Right now we're releasing LOVE, LAURA, a microfiction modern-day adaptation of Carmilla. You can also tune in to our previous patron-exclusive show, Readle the Beetle, where Tal gets psychic damage from reading a book that initially sold more copies than Dracula. We've also got ad free episodes, bonus short stories, bloopers, and more! Check it all out at patreon.com/redracula Love, Laura E1: Stupid Audio Diary Love, Laura is written by Jamieson Ridenhour and Wil Williams, and produced by Tal Minear. In this episode, you heard Tal Minear as Laura. TRANSCRIPT:Laura: Okay, here I am, doing this stupid audio diary because my stupid therapist thinks I’m having a stupid episode. I’m supposed to “vocalize” my feelings and “let it out in the open.” As if. Feelings are inside for a reason, and I don’t see how dragging them out into the light will do anything other than make me wallow in them. But whatever. I can’t go anywhere, because of this stupid pandemic, which is just a whole lot of nothing. It’s not like this lockdown is gonna last more than a couple of weeks. People freak out over nothing. But until then, I’m here, trapped in this house with my boring father and this slow-ass wi-fi. Normally I’d just talk to Bertha, because she’s the only person who really gets me, and she would send a meme or something and I’d feel like I wasn’t alone. That’s what Dr. Hesselius doesn’t get. I’m not depressed. I’m LONELY. Why doesn’t anybody get that? But I can’t talk to Bertha. And now I don’t get to finally meet her like we’d planned. She was coming to stay the weekend, our first irl hang-out, and now that’s not happening either. Because Bertha is dead. And maybe it’s silly to be so upset over it, because we only knew each other online, blah blah blah, but talking to Bertha on Insta was the only connection I had to the real world, instead of this lame-ass suburban hell-hole. She was funny and pretty and she liked me. But now BigBertha2009 will not have a little green online dot by her name ever again. And they won’t even tell me what happened! “Passed away suddenly,” like that’s a thing. Sixteen-year-olds don’t “pass away suddenly.” Total, total bullshit. And I’m supposed to, what, just have pizza for dinner and watch TV? God. My life is a joke. And if I’m being honest—and why wouldn’t I, it’s not like anybody’s gonna hear this stupid voice note—it’s really messing me up. It’s making me think about mom, even though it’s been years since she “passed away suddenly.” It’s not like I knew her, either. And they’re worried I’m going to start having nightmares again. It was only ever the one nightmare anyway. The one when I was six. It was so real. I went into my bedroom and there was a woman in my bed. A really pretty woman, who held out her arms and smiled like she knew me. She had gorgeous dark hair and seemed so happy to see me. I crawled into bed with her, and she held me and I snuggled up to her. She held me and talked to me, and I felt so happy. I felt safe. Dr. Hesselius says this is some kind of mother-dream, and she kinda looked like what I remember of mom, or maybe she didn’t and I just remember the dream-lady better. Anyway, after a minute of snuggling, she leaned over and bit me! In my chest. Like, what the actual hell, right? It hurt so bad, like needles in my heart. I screamed, and the lady, like, scuttled over the edge of the bed and went under it, like a snake or something. And then dad was there, and I was crying and awake and everybody was freaking out. Poor little Laura, losing her mom, having weird nightmares and generally being a little dork. But that was a long time ago. Ancient history. My problems are bigger than kid stuff like that. Dreams are just dreams. Moms die. And so does Bertha, apparently. Ugh! Fuck my life.
Highgate Wood rose to prominence in the early 1970s, propelled by the triple threat of dynamic front man Sean Underwood, wunderkind guitarist Peter Van Conklin, and keyboardist Corrine Kennedy. Dancing a line between artsy prog rock and mainstream melodics, they had a string of hit albums before suddenly disbanding in 1975 when a studio fire resulted in Corrine’s death, Peter’s descent into madness, and ultimately Sean’s suicide. Years later, Peter’s daughter Patti finds herself haunted by the ghost of Corrine Kennedy. Fearing she may be falling down the same mad rabbit hole as her father, she sets out to find the truth of the fateful night Highgate Wood self-destructed. The eight episodes of Highgate Wood are her investigation. This show is out in full! You can listen to it all right now!
