[Redacted]

This has been a long time coming, we're beyond excited to finally have reached the point where we can say:

Please join us on Kickstarter to help make Beck's End, our atmospheric folk horror audio drama, a reality!

We're working with some fantastic people to make this happen, and we are absolutely certain you'll love what we're making. Once the show is made it will be released for free, in full, for everyone (the Shadows at the Door guarantee!) but in order for that to happen, we need some help in the coming month. Please support our campaign if you can, any amount you can spare will help, and if you cannot – trust us, we know what the times are like – a reblog, or a share, or a "hey look at this thing I found on tumblr" to a friend or a discord server will all be massively appreciated too. The AD community on here is one of the best corners of the internet, and we can't wait to bring you a brand new show to love!

The world is oftentimes such an ugly place, but sometimes it can be so beautiful.

Like, when two choirs, one from Croatia and the other from Zimbabwe, met on the opposite sides of a Lisbon subway station and both sang to each other.

I unfortunately do not know what the Zimbabwe children choir sang to them (although it was so beautiful), but the Croatian klapa Kastav sang 'Kuća puna naroda' (a house full of people).

And let my reward be a house full of people, my life, give me a voice, so I can embrace you with songs.

The Cryptonaturalist, Episode 42: Dragons

DAN: Listen, what’s your name?

RAT: Oh, I forgot that a long time ago. Less dangerous that way.

DAN: [sighs] What should I call you?

RAT: Please don’t. Names are so very important and powerful and frightening.

GUIDE: What was her name?

THE BEAST: A name’s a big thing to give away… Guide. Some folk can do a lot if they know that. Wouldn’t be right for me to share it.

The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality, Episode Thirty-Seven: TIMELESS

SCARLET: It’s… wait, who the hell am I talking to? I don’t recognize your voice. JASMINE: Olivi– SCARLET: WHOA HEY nonono don’t EVER use your real name here. What’s wrong with you? Are you new? What name did they give you?

The Department of Variance of Somewhere, Ohio, Episode 1: New Employee Orientation

You are given a name, and then you are born. It is among the first words you understand, and when others think of you, it is the first word on their tongues. One day, you realize it does not fit you, it never has, and you change it, but your old name haunts you like a ghost. Your family refuses to use your new name. Later you are lowered into the ground, and your old name is said over and over until it consumes you, and even when it is no longer said, it is written above your resting place. The grave with the wrong name does not welcome you, so you search for a place that will. When you finally reach it, whispers in the wind say your name, and that they love you.

Hello From The Hallowoods, Episode 8 - Names

GWEN: So why do you keep the name?

MORGAN: What?

GWEN: Morgan. You could use a different one. When I’m Shújūn, I don’t have to be Guinevere. Sometimes I don’t want to be her. You could choose a different path.
