So Re: Dracula ended and has left a horror-themed-audiofiction-shaped hole in your life? Please allow me to recommend Shadows At The Door as your next listen! Some reasons you may be interested:

David Ault (Judge Moneybags, aka Lord Arthur Godalming) is, for the first couple of seasons, almost literally the entire cast. There are jokes about it. So many jokes. I think there are even T-shirts.

Karim Kronfli- you know, that Dracula dude? Is also a recurring VA, including for SatD's PHENOMENAL dramatisation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Rahul Motherfucking Kohli - also a VA for SatD! Believe me when I say I screamed like a little girl and replayed the episode four times in a day.

Ever listened to The Magnus Archives? Did you like their sound design? Nico does the score for SatD as well and it's BREATHTAKING.

Jamie Flanagan wrote the script for an episode in the current season. Yes, THAT Jamie Flanagan. The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House Of Usher, Jamie Flanagan. You're welcome.

Two podcasts in one! Each episode features not just the horror fiction, but a post-episode discussion that is every bit as entertaining as the stories themselves. Mark Nixon (the showrunner) and David (Ault, yes), occasionally joined by VAs or writers, chat together thoughtfully, irreverently, frequently filthily, always entertainingly, sometimes even about the episode itself, lol (digressions are frequent, and frequently hilarious).

Drunk. Ghost. Stories. Trust me. TRUST ME.

The sound design is exquisite. Mark has a fantastically talented ear for effective and atmospheric foley and a flawless editor's touch.

An engaging blend of classic stories and new authors.

QUEER REP IN QUEER MEDIA MADE BY QUEER PEOPLE!!!!

Bruiser by Jamie Flanagan (Shadows at the Door podcast episode 3x03)

DANI X JAMIE The Haunting of Bly Manor

"Which is, of course, just a misdirection because the entire show is their love story. We didn't want that [to be obvious] right out the gate, though. There was even a little bit of a red herring [at the start]. We knew people would assume there was some flirtation going on with Owen based on their conversation in the car. But, yeah, we totally manufactured that little meet cute [with Dani and Jamie] and I truly love it. They say you make three movies, the one you write, the one you shoot and the one you edit. That's definitely a scene that came out in post completely different than any of us knew it would be on set. It was never on our minds when we were [filming on the day]." Mike Flanagan's commentary for The Haunting of Bly Manor (Episode 1 "The Great Good Place")

if you haven’t watched any mike flanagan shows get with the program. you’re missing out on existential horror that’ll make you sob with a twinge of gay

Mike Flanagan’s horror gays, you’re so loved ❤️‍🩹🏳️‍🌈

I think one of my favorite things about Bly Manor is how, when you watch it again and again, you get to see all the ways Jamie loves Dani. She includes all the little teases about Dani being American, how bad she was at making tea, her annoying fake accent, her silly way of making awful, awful jokes to break tension, how clingy she was, and how foolish sometimes. Jamie could have left all that out, she could have let those details fall away and forgotten them after all that time in the face of Dani's Great Sacrifice, but she didn't. She includes them, because she remembers them, because she remembers Dani exactly as she was, because she loves Dani exactly as she was. She doesn't love an idea or a value or a concept or a belief. She loves Dani, in everything she was. Bly Manor is one of the greatest love stories ever told and I hope people keep on hearing and listening to it.
