## Resource

The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine: A Horror, Dark Fantasy, Medical Mystery Audio Drama Umberto Eco Meets H.P. Lovecraft in a world of Occult Academia, Laboratory Judaica. Heavily inspired by Jewish mythology, the world of Olam uses Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic and other real world languages and cultures to create a rich tapestry of a grim, fantastical, planet that doesn't sacrifice scientific accuracy or historicity. THORB Case 016 The Fruiting Body Radulf takes his renewed excommunication with grace and dignity as he and Iain make their way west along an alternate path back to Zhostok. Stopping in each of the cities of the northern mahla coast, Radulf expands on the region and his plans for the future. As they approach the true start of their journey, however, they are met with rumors of a blight in the north. Some whispers suggest the infection is Nagific in nature. Of course, Radulf cannot leave so tempting a stone unturned. The fruiting body examines what happens when the Nagifim engage in profane botany rather than their usual misanthropy. The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, body horror, and forensic investigation. If you've ever wanted a podcast that treats disease and mythology with the same care as a true crime documentary, this is the show for you. Radulf is not a hero. He's a disgraced curmudgeonly cleric with a terrible bedside manner and more pride than sense. This episode contains: descriptions of cannibalism, bodily decomposition, eye trauma, tissue decay, grief, and the death of multiple characters including a child, suicide.
