Dead Air Theater

Edward Baker

Dead Air Theater lives in the dark between spaces, where monsters breathe and impossible things feel briefly, dangerously real.Most stories stand alone, drifting from the monstrous and the haunted to the strange, the speculative, and the quietly unsettling. 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

86. Play for Keeps
Two old friends have been playing marbles together in the park every Saturday for years, usually with a small group of neighborhood kids gathered around to play. Then they come across something that, by now, should probably be familiar. A black marble. I wrote this story quite a while ago, and recorded it A while ago. Now that I’ve finally put the whole thing together, there are definitely some things I’d change if I were writing it today. But, honestly, I still really love this story and what I was trying to do with it. It’s slow. It’s deliberately pedantic. There’s a lot of detail on things that don't really matter, short conversation, and a lot of time spent simply being with Arthur. I wanted the story to move at the pace that felt right for them. I truly hope you enjoy it and thank you for being here!

85. Flesh
A late night food order turns into a nightmare..or not? This episode it wet and because it is wet, I'm warning you that it is wet. If wet sounds bother you, it may be like nails on a chalk board for a bit. I did try and keep it minimal though. The bonus for me is that I didn't need to edit out every mouth noise because their indistinguishable from the WET!

74. The Thing in Grafton Woods
A late-night rail station encounter drags the dying town of Grafton into a nightmare buried beneath its woods for decades. 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.

73. Mural
Every night after work, Dan Green walks the same route home beneath the Franklin overpass. One evening he finds a grotesque mural covering the concrete wall below the bridge. A sprawling mass of twisted anatomy painted in bruised reds and sickly yellows, centered around a strange black sphere that seems to drink in the light around it. Dan has never cared about graffiti before, yet he can’t stop thinking about this mural. What does your mural look like?

72. Paralysis
It's been a long week and I didn't record a story. Luckily, I can sometimes work miracles. I put together an old, rough first draft for this week's episode. Hope it's fun for you! I would change it, but I'm not going to. I tried some new things with both recording and post-processing for this one. I think it turned out nicely. A few very long stories are coming together and will be on their way soon. BUT FIRST, I need to finish these audiobooks! Deadlines are coming! See ya next week!

It's stylish, elegant, impossible to ignore, and complete with a coffin in the back. I had a blast putting this one together!

70. Shorties
Welcome to Shorties. I figured we’d do something a little different tonight. I pulled together a few of my shorter pieces. Some of these started as TikTok stories, quick hits… the kind that get in, get under your skin, and get out before you can shake them. And I’ve added one new story in there too. So this is a bit of a variety episode. A sampler. Tonight, you’re going to hear: Hallway. Duke. …and Scarecrow. Three short trips. Three different kinds of wrong. I hope you like them.
