Episode three of my audio drama anthology The Books of Thoth is here at long last. This one is a double feature. Remember to perform your rituals, and then debate the implication of riding the teleporter.
Attention everyone, the wait is over at long last. The Books of Thoth has a brand new episode for your listening enjoyment. In fact, this one is a double feature. Two stories for the price of one! Well, that’s still free either way, but you get the idea.
“Rituals” is our first tale. A tragicomedy of errors. A gentle reminder to always perform your bedtime rituals. You never know when they might save your life.
For this one I was trying to see if I could write a horror story. I tend to be afraid of more mundane things that ghosts and goblins. And the story reflects this. I was also paying homage to The Illustrated Creepypasta Theater. It is one of my favorite YouTube Channels, and is run by a user named TheHolderOfTales. I also deliberately mimicked the less than ideal audio quality of his videos.
“Teleporter” then takes us to a war-torn planet. A doctor must make a hard medical decision. Will she and her patient be killed in a massive storm? Or will they take their chances with the teleporter?
This one kind of works as a companion piece to “Rituals” as it also came from a place of fear. I would be very wary about using teleportation pods if they were real. Way I see it, I’d be killed, and a duplicate of me would be created on the other end. But I also wonder, what would be a scenario where such a person might seriously consider using such a device? Thus, a story was born.
A big thank you to Julie Hoverson of 19 Nocturne Boulevard or hosting this double feature. And to Hannah Preisinger for narrating “Teleporter.” I would also like to thank all of my listeners for sticking with me despite the gap between episodes. I promise not to take half a year to get episode four to you.
