Just to make sure you're in the mood for Halloween and our premiere episode, we have a double release today - a trailer for that premiere episode, as well as our first visual submission.
You can listen to our trailer - and our previous teasers and bonus content - on our Listen page.
We'd like to give a special thanks to Dillon Triplett (@ionizedART) for the following piece. It's super creepy and ominous!
(Remember, it's not too late to submit content - written, musical, or visual - for our second episode, Roots. The cut-off in October 29th, but submissions can always be accepted for later episodes.)

What a week! National Coming Out Day and Friday the 13th!! We hope you all had a wonderfully gay and spooky Friday to kick off the weekend. We definitely had a packed week! We not only posted a teaser, but we also left you a little treat, let's call it a bonus minisode. For all you cryptid lovers out there, you should definitely check it out.
As for now, we are still looking for submissions for future episodes. November's theme is "Roots" and can be explored in any way. Submissions for that episode are due October 29. For more details check out our Submit page. And if November's theme doesn't interest you, consider submitting a story, poem, song, or other piece for a later episode! The themes for the next 11 episodes are already listed under the submissions calendar because we have zero chill.
As we come closer and closer to our Halloween premiere, we'd just like to thank everyone for their support of this project. Seriously, it means a lot. Keep spreading the word and encouraging friends to participate and engage.
Love,
The Admin Monsters
We are so grateful to those of you who reached out with interest and even submitted work to be featured in our first episode, which will premiere this Halloween. More details will emerge in the next couple of weeks, so in reward for that patience, expect to see some teasers among those updates.
For those still interested in being involved, we still accept submissions on a rolling basis and are always seeking new readers/voice actors!
