this episode is part of the "amber autumn's mic is breaking down but we haven't figured it out yet" arc. no, not william gibson's necromancer, for this episode we invent just, like, a guy who's a necromancer, detached from any specific setting or IP. there are some ideas thrown around about the politics of necromancy and its narrative utility and amber autumn's inability to recognize her own fun fact patterns. "this podcast is one of my favorite story games"

Would you believe it’s not the first time we've made fanfiction about fanfiction? Because today we cover Are You Afraid Of The Dark Universe, a podcast by horror writer Dalton Deschain and film critic Dylan Roth wherein they re-imagine the short lived Dark Universe. Amber and Devin create a 1 season CW spinoff show set in the AYAotDU continuity. Our goal was to make a bad silly little show, but we accidentally made something emotional and interesting, so oopsies. Learn all about The Daughter of Carmella, A Living Gargoyle, a Human Voodoo Doll, and a few other oddball cryptids collectively known as The Children Of The Night.
