About this listen

In this horror/fantasy serial drama, Carpenter and Faulkner, two worshippers of an outlawed god, travel up the length of their deity’s great black river, searching for holy revelations.

As their pilgrimage lengthens and the river’s mysteries deepen, the two acolytes find themselves under threat from a police manhunt, but also come into conflict with the weirder gods that have flourished in these forgotten rural territories.


Next episode drops 3rd June.

Weird, eery, and disturbing. Set in a world where belief, gods and beurocracy combine in truly terrifying ways

As you slowly unravel the first chapter in the silt verses, it becomes clearer that their world is different to ours, it's much more horrifying. As you keep listening, you realise there is a lot more similarity than you might like to admit, all the horror is caused by humans making terrible human decisions. Excellently fleshed out characters, who are very much the opposite of a cookie cutter hero.

Intricate world building from top to bottom
