DEADWOOD

Saniyah Hill

A horror semi-anthology podcast centered around an eldritch god along with several other stories, some more standalone than others. The podcast focuses on themes of grief, betrayal, familial love, hope, identity, survival, queerness, mental illness, and what it means to be different when the world dies around you.

Created and written by Saniyah Hill and co-produced by Makenna Fulgham. Cover artwork made by Adela Schwarz-Van Praag.
