Looking for your next horror audio drama?

Welcome to "Liars & Leeches," an immersive, full cast, supernatural horror audio drama. The first original audio drama from Hemlock Creek Productions (@hemcreekprod), “Liars & Leeches” delves deep into the complicated horrors of grief, trauma, resilience, and steadfast human determination to uncover the truth.

Grief. Anxiety. Terror. Tonya Wright felt it all after the tragic murders of her sister and brother-in-law in a random act of gun violence. Struggling to travel outside of her home, she now lives constantly on edge about perceived threats that seem to surround her. Retreating to the house her sister and brother-in-law once shared to process her grief, Tonya soon discovers that someone — or something — has followed her there. With the help of her best friend Natalie, and others she meets along the way, can Tonya overcome her fears before they completely consume her?

You might enjoy "Liars & Leeches" if you like:

Psychological and supernatural horror like Stephen King's "The Outsider"

A creeping sense of dread or a feeling of something being "off" like "Get Out."

Tension building through sound design, especially in quiet moments like "A Quiet Place" (which was a massive source of sonic inspiration for the show)

Audio dramas such as "Dark Dice," "Dark Sanctum," "Maxine Miles," "Aftershock," "Transplanar RPG," and "Connections," as Hemlock Creek Productions assisted with audio editing for all of them.

Soundtracks like those from "Yellowjackets," "Smile," "Chernobyl," "Broadchurch," and "The Rising," all of which were used as inspirations for the music in "Liars & Leeches."

Some other facts about the show:

Season 1 is complete with a run time a little over four hours. Season 2 is currently in pre-production.

We have transcripts available for every episode of the show, as well as video versions of each episode on YouTube that are fully subtitled.

We have won awards for best horror/thriller podcast, best podcast, and best leading performance in an audio drama. We have also been nominated for additional awards including best director, best sound design (action), best supporting performance in an audio drama, and best music/score (podcast).

We have "Liars & Leeches" merch available on Streamlabs, as well as the soundtrack from season 1 available on Bandcamp.

8. gimme a scene if you have one. a cool fun scene you’ve thought out that you wanna share with the class

i really hope this isn’t too much like don’t feel pressured to answer everything or any of it or whatever !!!! i’m just really interested in this au :D <3

THIS MADE MY DAY HDJSJSJSJSKSKAJKS IM GENUINELY SHAKING THE STIMMING IS INSANE IM SO HAPPY

YES AND THIS IS ABOUT TO GET DEEP.

Vincent: Growing up Vincent had a difficult time making friends, he had always been scrawnier and more mature than the other kids which made it difficult to get along with his peers. He always enjoyed music, and his parents, worried sick seeing that although he was content without children hus age to play with he didn’t have anyone to do so with if he did want to, decided to enroll him in the city’s youth orchestra. He said the squeek of the violins snd violas hurt his ears, the bass was wayyyyy to big, and the cello was just perfect. He fell in love with the sound instantly, and started playing when he was 7, the practice rooms of the creative center became his refuge growing up. 

Aldo Bellini: He learned to play violin from his dad!!! His dad was an Italian immigrant, and his grandparents on his mom’s side immigrated à generation prior. His dad had made violins as a part of a family business when he was younger, but fell in love with the music instead. So, naturally when he had a son of his own—Aldo—he not only taught him to be good with wood, but also learn to appreciate and practice the art he desperately wanted to. 

Goffredo Tedesco: He played viola for the first time when he picked up on a one-time music class in 4th grade, and although he could hardly hold a bow his teacher saw how much he absolutely adored it. After that day he started renting a viola on his own dime, teaching Tedesco in the mornings before school and the evenings after. He grew up in a poor with a less than loving family (the word “dysfunctional” hardly scratches the surface) and similarly to Vincent, music became his safety. 

Thomas Lawrence: Thomas started to play the piano, following in his older sister Clara’s footsteps who was a classically trained pianist. He always used to climb on the stair balusters, listening to her music until she eventually noticed and insisted she teach a little 6 year old Thomas to learn. 

Joseph Tremblay: He started playing double bass in 6th grade, primarily since he lied about playing it, realized people would eventually found out, and pressured himself to learn it so he wouldn’t be caught. Turns out he ended up really enjoying it!!!!

2. why did you pick the instruments for them? (lowkey i already know some of this cause we chatted in dms but i wanna know more…)

Vincent: The cello is the closest to the human voice! It has a beautiful sound. It’s versatile, both capable of being soft, sweet and melodic, as well as stern, specific, and fast. Also I’m a cellist and he’s my comfort character and also me irl so likeeeee, all of the above still apply I just had to. 

Aldo: FIRST VIOLIN VIBES. He’s sarcastic, witty, hard headed, and deeply passionate. He’s perfect for it.

Tedesco: This is a determined mother fucker. He’s competitive, puts his everything inro it, and because of how he grew up he in a way views viola as the one thing he’s good at. It became his purpose, it became his safety and he takes it seriously because it’s a part of him. He’s competitive, aggressive and arrogant, but internally the pressure he puts on himself to be perfect is enough to make him crack some days. 

Also he takes viola jokes farrrrrr too personally. 

Tremblay: I’m going to be so honest I don’t even know. Someone who’s a Tremblay fan please come up with a cool idea I will use it in a heart beat. 

3. what are interpersonal relationships like? are they close to canon, or have you shaken it up a bit?? how will the relationships develop over the course of the au

Bellini and Tedesco met in a very specific and very much a tragic setting that you’ll get to see when I post the fic. ;) They have a complicated relationship to say the least.

Vincent and Agnes are stand partners!!!! They have a very much a high-school-best-friends-going-to-the-same-university type of vibe. 

Bellini and Vincent are actual best friends. Practically like brothers, they’re always togehther.

Thomas and Vincent practice together sometimes, and Thomas admires Vincent for his craft but feels intimidated by him as a person (primarily since he believe’s he’ll only harm him regardless of the fact he’d never want to.) so he keeps his emotuonal distance despite Vincent repeatedly treating him like an old friend.

4. do you have favorite arrangements / pieces for any of them yet? or have you picked out any songs for them to play in the parts of the au?

YEAYESYESYESYES I DO. THE CONCERT WILL BE A PREFORMANCE OF TCHAIKOVSKY’S SYMPHONY NO.6 (MY ABSOLUTEL FAVORITEEEEE) 

You can listen to it here on YouTube!!! 

4a. if you have a playlist….. i am a fiend for playlists

OH BOY YOU FUCKIN BET. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ZhTCXFzcQZrf2zo7C756u?si=2xhXH32lTtWEpvSoroGg6w&pi=X_8-o2N2SqmbG&pt=5c5f0d664c9ee1ab0a8e4254cfceab80

5. are they all in music school or do they have other majors?

They each have their own majors and minors, they’re also just part of the orchestra!!

Vincent: Chemistry and philosophy double major (has some elective psych classes that he adores) 

Aldo: Political science major, minoring in psychology. (planning for pre-law. Not how things turned out, obviously) 

Goffredo: Political science major, minoring in Latin. 

I’D LIKE TO ADD THAT BELLINI AND TEDESCO ARE POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJORS IN VERYYYYY DIFFERENT WAYS. Bellini is a liberal New Yorker who loves debate and critical analysis of the world’s political climate. Tedesco is a conservative Italian whose beliefs are as deeply ingrained into him as his DNA is, desperately trying to escape his home life. Both of them are planning for pre-law. Both of them, obviously, do not go down this path. Both of them still find each other again, just as they did across the concert hall. Across the globe, in a church recognizable to the world by a mere outline, their past and futures remain intertwined. 

Thomas: History major. 

Agnes: This is a physics major. Tell me I’m wrong. 

Joesph: Architecture major. 

6. is this set in the modern day or is it like. back in the past when they’d like canon age progression wise be in uni… this is kind of a silly question but i am curious

Not a silly question at all!!! I’m so glad you asked. I set it in present times, but with minor tweaks to the story it could be set in the canon timeline of when they would’ve been in university. So like, think 2024-25 ish. 

7. got any plot points happening ?? or is it just like brain worms of them playing cause like. that is how most of my aus are hehe so im curious!!!  

YES. A LOT OF PLOT. ITS INSANE. 

The emotional distress I’m putting these men under is crazy. 🫶

I don’t want to spoil it but we get to see the concert prep, Tedesco’s addiction problems (and Aldo’s link to them you’ll learn soon!), a flashback, and then some extra stuff youll just have to wait and see. 

8. gimme a scene if you have one. a cool fun scene you’ve thought out that you wanna share with the class

I just think this is a kinda cool little excerpt without any real spoilers!!: 

“The room ordered itself quickly, thrashes of each bow producing a sound smooth yet bold like an ocean tide. Tones danced with each other, notes lifting off the page with intense focus and a skilled hand. Each section began with their tip of the bow brushing the highest string, sliding through the measures in practiced routine.”

HOLY SHIT THIS HAS BEEN A SUPERRRRRR LONG POST- I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS SUFFICIENTLY 😭🙏 THIS BROUGHT ME SO MUCH JOY BECAUSE 1. FANTASTIC QUESTIONS???? AND 2. ACTUALLY REALLY HELPED ME FLESH OUT MY FIC!!!

ANYWAYS TYSM FOR ASKING AND TYSM DOE READING THIS!! ^^

[detentiontrack]

I am being 100% serious when I tell you that there are actual tears on my face. This video kills me every time

[transiently-yapping]

why are you scary? because you have strong opinions that make mine look badly formed. but also because sometimes you give strong masculine energy which contrasts with most of your other posts (?)

i mean all of this in a good sense. maybe scary is the wrong word. maybe it's respect (?)

don't judge me. i'm so glad i'm anon rn.

what if i told you i already knew that and knew why you found my confident mannerisms scary and i just pretended to not be aware of it to make you write it out and have a think?

the reason i am so sure with my opinions is because i have spent an insane amount of time and we are talking years meticulously recursively shaping them as to get closer to an ideology which soothed my mind with existentialism, at one point i was anything but confident, but that made me scared about everything, it made me ask questions and then made me spend the time needed to answer those questions, which took 2 years to properly happen and then another 2 years to cross question what i had thought of and keep coming up as correct of an answer as i can

clearly you are someone who possesses that free thinking spirit and ability to not let traditional norms bound your thoughts, i.e being open minded, a person like you is extremely valuable in a world where people dont care to think, where the ego and the lack of thinking out the box (which here is the fact that small things dont matter and letting yourself worry about day to day problems detracts from the inevitability that is death) is straight up not found in the majority of people which grows insecurities and various mental health issues in everyone around us, this can be elaborated and connected to the fact that we are being whose only purpose is to prove to existence that we are good at surviving and have developed a mind which progresses faster than evolution can catch up but i wont go into that here otherwise this will be way too long

getting back to the point, my character displays someone who understands these things atleast more deeply than the general populace and thus is way more at ease with what he does because he has a relatively well framed ideology to check every action with, this scares people because this innate confidence is hard to find, its hard to shake away from people too and if this is cultivated within everyone on earth then atleast i believe that we will be way more peaceful and able to progress and prosper at a faster rate than what meaningless infighting caused by close mindedness and failing to understand who you are yourself causes

again this is scary because this kind of thinking and understanding the why of existence shakes up social hierarchy its the root cause of change and whenever revolutions have happened across the history of the world there has been an instillation of this belief in the revolting group

getting actually back to the point for real this time, because you have even taken the time to question this and stalk me to some extent i appreciate and understand how you think and i really like that sort of personality, dont be scared to ask questions if you want to tackle those insecurities, but yes the answer to those questions will most likely will come off as crazy if you allow close minded thinking to make you not explore your thoughts

as for the masculine energy part, its probably because its not fun for me to limit myself to only one way to express myself

i dont find joy in judging people because that is letting emotions control your fundamental ability to understand a situation properly

i promise i dont bite and i love answering questions especially related to sociology and those which seek to answer fundamental truths of life and death

and thanks a lot honestly, for being so curious because people like you who are approaching critical thinking for themselves remind me of the idealism i used to possess at one point

[blizwolfthewolf]

My wife is appalled at me for eating stir fried shrimp with the ahell on and I need to know how many people do this

[disconnectedkid]

Hey guys check out this thing @soul-the-gay made for me

[transiently-studying]

a thing of beauty summary for myself later on

beauty -> like nature -> like a bower( shady place) like a good sleep, health, peaceful living -> each morning we reconnect with nature, used metaphorically through wreathing(here, forming) a flowery band, despite negative things despite despondence, gloomy days, lack of positivity (dearth) despite all negative feelings some shape of beauty moves us away from this unappreciative days/over darkened ways such as the moon or the sun the young and the old trees sprouting a bower (first line reference omg)

pall -> something that lacks vitality, hence a thing of beauty moves it away moves that deathly spirit away from our dark spirits

are we wreathing -> inversion

simple sheep -> sheep used as a biblical reference to mankind

daffodils -> yellow -> contrast bw green world

clear rills (small clean cooling streams of water) also contrast

musk rose -> fragrant flower, vibrant beauty

next 2 lines very important

grandeur of the dooms -> magnifications of knights/kings who came and died for the betterment of society

endless fountain of immortal drink can be related to the wreathing part, this signifies the continuity with which nature acts as a source of help and beauty

final line is also a reference to the bible but the bible references wont be asked in boards

there you go potential 3 number confirmed

[kendrysaneela]

It makes perfect sense for Mark S to choose Helly over Gemma. Mark Scout would’ve chosen Gemma over Helly if the situation had been reversed. And they’re the same person. Everyone is. Mark S is Mark Scout, Helly R is Helena Eagan, Dylan G is Dylan George and Irving B is Irving Bailiff. We’ve seen Mark S make similar decisions to Mark Scout through the whole show. Mark S put Petey’s picture in the closet, Mark Scout put Gemma’s belongings in a basement. Mark Scout shredded a picture of Gemma, Mark S shredded Petey’s map. Mark Scout turned mean cause of his grief and buried himself in work, Mark S turned mean cause of his grief and buried himself in work. Hellyna same thing. Helena feels threatened she insults Irving, Helly feels threatened she insults Millchick, the Hellyna head tilt, the stoneface they both make, the fact that they’re both desperate for body autonomy and they’re both angry. It’s the SAME. They’re the SAME. So of course Mark S chose Helly. Mark Scout would’ve chosen Gemma.

An Update on "Liars & Leeches"

It’s been a while since we released the finale of our show’s first season. Since then, “Liars & Leeches” has been listened to tens of thousands of times in more than 80 countries, and we couldn't be more grateful for the support we’ve received since its initial release. 

Initially, our plan was to begin pre-production and script writing of our second season in the fall of 2023 and release it this year. However, the past year has been a very long one, full of ups, downs, and some big changes in the lives of our cast and crew. Now that the dust has begun to settle, we’ve been digging deep into the pre-production stage of season two, with the writing of the plot nearly complete and work creating the scripts about to begin. We’re very excited to return with new episodes, and we have big plans for this upcoming season, including expanding our season length, as well as the size of our cast.

To help us with our ambitious goals for the second season, we are launching an Indie GoGo campaign. The pre-launch page for the campaign is currently live, and you can sign up there to receive updates when the full campaign launches. There are a host of rewards available for this campaign, including early access to season two episodes, a Q&A form where you can submit questions to both our season one and season two cast and crew, scripts annotated by our creator, scriptwriter, and sound designer, and an original “Liars & Leeches” short story written by our script writer KJ Scott. For more information on the campaign, you can visit the Indie GoGo link above, follow both our blog and and @hemcreekprod, or sign up for the Hemlock Creek Productions newsletter at www.hemlockcreekprod.com/newsletter.  

Thank you again listeners for all of your support, it truly means a lot, and we can’t wait to return with season two in 2025.

I just keep looking back at this photo and imagining myself coming home after a long day to you dressed like that, half stoned on the couch. The whole room smells like weed and something I can't quite place, but all you notice is how short my lil skirt is (I have the cutest mini skirt with bees on it) and so you invite me to come join you. I don't smoke but I want to be cool like my big sibling so I take the joint from it and try my hardest not to cough. It laughs a little at me, especially when I get really blushy and embarrassed, but you don't let me stop. Instead, you smile and give me advice on how to help it. I don't really notice where your hand is sitting on my thigh but I know the way it feels is comforting, so I smile back and try my best. Each hit hurts my lungs as much as the last but it's being so nice about how bad I am at this that I can't help but feel like I'm getting better. Plus, the haze feels so nice I don't stop, the same way you don't stop inching higher on my skin. By the time we finish the joint, I'm slumped on the couch with my legs on my sib's lap and it's gazing down on me while absentmindedly (I think) running it's hand on my bare legs.

Out of nowhere, I start to giggle and you turn towards me with one raised eyebrow. "I wore flowers for my beeeeeees," I manage to form from my cottonmouthed smile while playing with the hem of my skirt. I'm trying so hard to think about more than the heat from where I'm being touched and the way it seems to flow right up to my pussy, but it's getting more difficult with each passing moment. The look in its eyes darkens as it realizes what I mean and I'm suddenly very aware of how close my sibling's hand is to my skirt. Before I can really process what that means, you've shifted towards me and are yanking my panties down from my hips underneath my skirt. I think I'm trying to yelp in surprise, but what comes out of my mouth is a much lower gasp and my eyes are wider than dinner plates now. The sadistic chuckle that comes from it now is scary but doesn't stop my now exposed hole from leaking. Even more terrifying though is the angle that it can see my cunt at; the slick on my bush and the drops about to fall on the couch are directly in its line of sight and I can't seem to get my legs to close with any speed.

Not that it mattered, though, because you were on me like a predator on prey. You've positioned yourself between my legs so I can't close them and you're grabbing my hips to pull my pliant body closer. I'm too fucked up to stop you (was that its plan all along, I wonder?) but I'm still trying to yell. A hand finds my mouth to keep it closed and I'm trying to fight the arousal that's building inside me. When its other hand finds my pussy, I am hit with another wave of static and a soft moan escapes my mouth into your palm. Taking that as motivation, my eyes roll back as my big sibling plays with me, something that feels so goddamn good and yet so fucked up. I'm not supposed to like this, am I? Does it matter? It pulls pleasure out of me long enough to make me forget about anything but the feeling of their skin on mine and the smell of sex that's now mixing with the weed in the air. When I find enough stability to focus on something, I catch a glimpse of its bulge and my eyes go wide again, realizing how close (and yet how far) it is from my hole. The squeak that leaves my still clamped shut mouth is enough to get you to take stock of the situation again and that smile creeps onto your face again.

"Heh, I felt that," you coo at me as you curl your finger onto that spot one last time before pulling out of me and slapping my cunt with your soaked hand. "Come here and thank me properly for sharing my weed with you." Even if I wanted to protest, its hand has left my mouth and wrapped fingers in my hair to pull me forward. When I'm kneeling like a lapdog over its crotch, my hair is let go for a moment as it pulls its cock out, just to be yanked again to put my face where it belongs. My nostrils are filled with the scent of sweat and sex and I'm trying to hold my breath, but you just laugh and hold me there a little longer. I need oxygen eventually and you love watching me struggle. When I can't stand it, you laugh even harder as I breathe so deeply after panicking that now all I can smell is its musky cock and I try to choke back the whimper but I'm too late. "Open." It's voice is warm but demanding and I don't dare refuse. My lips are dry but mouth is drooling and now the involuntary sounds spill out of my sibling's lips as it slides in. The taste of it is too much for my poor brain and tears begin to well up in my eyes. Part of my brain screams that the is wrong but the other part is itching to explore every part of your body right now. The former begins to cry while the latter wraps my tongue around you, learning the landscape and searching for the spots that make it twitch. The tears start falling but I'm sucking on it and clenching at the way it feels as my sibling fucks them self with my mouth, no more than a fleshlight on a ponytail leash. Soon the musky taste is mixed with tears and precum and I know you're getting close. No logical thought remains in my hazy brain right now, only the desire to ride this bliss until I taste its release. I earn my reward soon enough and the way your whole body shudders sends waves to my pussy.

When I've cleaned it up well enough, it pats its lap and I try to hide the way my hips wiggle as I lay myself down, gently this time. It turns on some movie we've watched together a thousand times and I see it light another joint out of the corner of my eye. "Just like when we were little," it says, laying it's free hand along my back to hold me close. "Just like when we were little," I sigh into the warmth of them here.

-💖

Okay okay..... i think its time. I reread it one more time and felt my dick twitch again. fuck
