The Embrace of Midnight
Get a glimpse into the world of the undead. Pull back the curtain to this secretive society and discover their dark dramas, their sinister appetites, and their infuriating and petty real estate woes. Stealing time on lonely stations while the rest of humanity sleeps, your narrator will keep you informed of all the strange, disturbing, macabre, and occasionally baffling tales that make up the other side of midnight. Join the creatures of the night to learn their secrets, their stories, and that they may be eternal but that doesn't mean they will ever stop bickering over literally everything.

The undead have found an idyllic coastal town in which to settle but not all is well in their world. Your humble narrator is here to give you updates on the joys of home acquisition, why the damned are less than enthused about using the internet to communicate, and there's that little thing about their member who might have been murdered and his lover having since gone missing.

The undead have managed to find a new home base but the setting they've chosen turns out to be less idyllic than they originally planned. Between a persistent neighbouring pest and some poorly behaved brethren, things were already annoying enough, but then a local man had to be so rude as to perish under mysterious circumstances. Our narrator will give you all the updates on this months broadcast of The Embrace of Midnight.
The Embrace of Midnight was written, produced and performed by D. Renee Klassen.
