FEED DROP - The Rave - Chapter 1
We hope you're enjoying the summer, and thank you for your continued support of The Other Stories. We wanted to bring you something special today that we think many of you will enjoy. The Hawk & Cleaver team have been working on recording and editing the first book in The Aelfraver Series, The Rave. We even have TOS narrator Erika Ventura cast as the narrator. Author J.R Traas describes it as an arcanepunk cyberfantasy about teenage rebellion against the ruling elite and their gods. TOS editor Karl Hughes said it reminded him of The Hunger Games, but full of even more Sci-Fi and even more awesomeness. The story begins with Alina, a 17-year-old Aelfraver (a hunter of arcane beasts), who is also a pacifist. When her grandfather disappears in the middle of making dinner, Alina is left with an empty monster hunter school and a crippling pile of debt. Unlicensed and underage, she forges an Aelfraver license and enters the floating capital city, joining the hunt for a mysterious entity that has been slaughtering the wealthy and powerful, leaving no witnesses. If she can somehow deal with this elusive creature and claim the bounty, she believes all her problems will be solved. But she’ll have to beat 200 cutthroat killer Aelfravers to the finish line. We don't do many audiobooks, but even so, this is the biggest project we've ever taken on, and we wanted to share it with you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Summer Break Notice
Hey Patrons!After nearly a decade of bringing you the weirdest, most wonderful tales this side of the apocalypse, The Other Stories is taking a well-earned summer break.We’ve been riding this beast weekly for years — an exhilarating, terrifying motorbike from hell — and while we love every second, it’s left little time to step back, reflect, or breathe. So we’re pulling over for a short pit stop to rest, recharge, and give the engine a little TLC.While we’re away, we’ll be rebroadcasting some of our all-time favourite episodes — stories that remind us why we started this in the first place. Behind the scenes, we’ll be dreaming, scheming, and figuring out how to make the next chapter of The Other Stories stronger than ever.Thanks for riding with us. In the immortal words of everybody's favourite Terminator/second father figure, Arnie: we’ll be back Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
