Eldritch entities, broken futures, small-town horrors, and eerie bedtime stories all share the same spaces.A few threads do run deeper for those who listen closely. Some stories echo, some return, and some, The Marble Tales in particular, reward a careful ear, but no map is required to step inside.https://linktr.ee/edwardbakervo Hosted on Acast.

What begins as a creature feature slowly unravels into something far worse. This story was inspired by the music of AI artist Promptgenix, particularly the album Gravel Road Grooves. I got unsurprisingly hooked on the atmosphere of those tracks and started wondering how much control these artists really have over AI-generated music in the first place. It’s an interesting subject. People have strong opinions on AI art, and I’m just...kind of indifferent. Either way, the music absolutely helped shape the mood of this story and a couple others. Honestly, a song isn’t even the strangest place I’ve pulled inspiration from. DAT Discord and Socials Hosted on Acast.
