Of the Night: Audio Drama


Many of you know that, Lord willing, a script of mine will be produced by the Spirit Blade Underground Alliance. Well the first production from the group has been posted and it's great!


Mourning the death of his fiancée, former policeman James Elysian must uncover the truth about his deceased love. Has she been transformed into a blood-thirsty vampire, or was he rightfully committed to an asylum?

Roughly a fifteen minute drama, Of the Night: Kiss the Night is the first episode of a series. Set in a modern world, the drama effectively sets the stage for James Elysian's future confrontation with evil. The storytelling is cohesive and compels the listener to want more. The audio effectively creates a believable world within the listener's imagination, utilizing the full force of music, sound effects and dialogue to create a visual scene in an auditory medium.

There's only two minor flaws in the work. First, the audio levels of the screaming-scenes is a bit too high (and actually took me out of the story for a moment). Second, in a scene where Elysian and his partner banter back and forth the dialogue seems a bit forced and jilted.

None of that is enough for me to withhold my recommendation for this drama, though. Fans of horror and mystery will be well rewarded with Of the Night's first episode Kiss the Night.  I hope we see the next episode in a month!

WARNING: Due to the graphic violence portrayed, this audio series is recommended for ages 16 and older.
