#voices in the valley

Let Reece read you a creepy bedtime story!

[friend-through-teenage-nights]

A ten part semi-anthology horror series. Each episode is a story taking place in a village in a valley on the Yorkshire -Lancashire border in different points in history, in a non-chronological order. Beyond the location, the only real link between episodes is the recurring idea of the danger of bodies of water. A child drowns, a veteran of World War I is agitated near the river, and the first and last episodes deal with the aftermath and immediately preceding events, respectively, of a catastrophic flood.

The last episode contextualises the first, which itself serves as something of a framing device or justification for the existence of the other episodes set in the past. The intervening episodes together build up the suspense with the recurring theme of water so that the final ending is unsettling but crucially satisfying. When I finished the series I immediately listened to the first episode again, and noticed the narrator mentioning locations in the valley that were the setting for later stories.

Me when… me when… the identity is horror. Who are you? Can you be replicated? Is that replication you? If someone looks just like you, acts like you and is interpreted by others as you, are they you? Do your thoughts count for anything? If everything you actually think stays in your head and never comes out then you die do people grieve you? Do you respond to your name or to any name?

Wow, so it's not enough for Ted to slide in on both Dick's caped-life love interest and his fanboy little brother...

Can't stop thinking about Gordon and Aubrey. They knew each other for years and didn't even really know it. The first time she saw him in person was when he was dying. He was her only proper point of human contact for months. She took care of his pet tortoise for 44 years. They talked like every day on the comms. She chose Warren's life over his because she knew Warren was more likely to survive. She knows all this and just has to sit with it with no resolution because he's asleep and no one knows if he'll wake up. She never even got to look him in the eyes. What the fuck.

fellas is it gay to fall asleep listening to your best friends memoir

[littlefoxwithbighat]

Me, a few days ago: Aw man, I should really catch up with the new Red Valley miniseries for season 2.

A few minutes into listening: WHAT IS PETER LUKAS DOING HERE!???

Me, a few days later: God, I'm so behind on Re: Dracula. I need to catch up.

Me: PETER LUKAS!???!???!-

Interesting Headcanon for you:

I think Alastor's bayou acts a lot like Rose's room from Steven Universe. In that it can simulate just about anything Alastor wants and he sometimes uses it to re-live specific memories.

He realized early on in his discovery of this power that it was all illusory. He has only ever recreated his mother's voice when he remembers her, because he can't picture her face the same way after a century in Hell and he doesn't want to risk reinforcing an incorrect idea of her.

When he's re-living his memories of her she's always "just out of sight" or "in another room" to justify it to himself.
