The Westward Eye

Somewhere that may have existed long ago… or perhaps is still to come… lies a place isolated from the rest of civilization, known as ‘The West’ - where lost communities perform ancient traditions, old gods pry themselves from the earth, and monstrous creatures lurk in the darkness.

Follow three young adventurers as they travel into the unknown West!

New episodes air the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month!

The Westward Eye is a gothic horror audio drama created by Mar Smith.

25 - Foreign Fables pt. 2
Long ago, when the world was young, so young that people weren't even a thought quite yet, the creatures of the land fought for everything they had. We would like to extend a deep thanks to Logyn Clair, voice of Sterling, who is stepping away from the project after this episode. Logyn has put their heart and soul into Sterling, and we are endlessly thankful for all of their hard work. We would also like to introduce Bones Bookwalter (voice of Finley) as our new VA for Sterling. We hope you can offer them as much love as you offered Logyn. More info to come!
