The Face Peeler - Episode Three Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

They’d taken Madame Viola to the celestial seaside amusement park for the day to get away from some new construction and Cooper had just experienced a rush she’d never felt before, having an imaginary flower from a cute clown, and almost floating into the funhouse with her sister Cornelia and boisterous friend Jules.

The Face Peeler - Episode Two Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Jules pointed to a big, bright sign hand-painted with a map illustrating the entire park - from the entrance the path lead them through the new innovation exhibitions, down to the sideshow and acrobatic tents and food midway, past the funhouse then on closer to the water with the mermaid water show and diving tank and then the imposing face peeler roller coaster that swung out over the water. Then past a floating barge with a boxing ring exhibition sponsored by Duncan’s Matches And then at the end of the pier, a giant aeronautical balloon made of canvas in bright colors netted and tethered at the pier side for a lucky few random raffle winners to ascend into the clouds at dusk to see the expanse of the city, the illuminated Vega’s light wheel and Celestial park in all of its radiant brilliance.

The Face Peeler - Episode One Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

What’s in a face? The literal features that shape so much of how the world receives us and also the ones we manufacture to compliment the physical, reflected in various distortions. How exhausting to maintain a visage so separate from our internal face, to show the world only a small portion of who we really are, or one fabricated completely. If given the choice, would you swap faces with someone else? Would you peel yours away and start fresh?

The Sotto Voce - Episode Six Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

Can sanguine hearts mitigate the suffering of those less fortunate?

A crushing loss for Temperance, and a close to one chapter, and opening another. As quickly as the drawer for The Sotto Voce closed, the one for The Sotto Witch opens, as Masie tracks her old friend across the city wherever she may frighten.

The Sotto Voce - Episode Five Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Why is it so difficult to demolish the ancient temples dedicated to our dark fouls? Anchored deep in previous cruelty and malice? What festering remnants of past lives do we leave behind as we try to hide, vanishing into calm, dark nights? The Sotto Voce resists, no man nor machine can pull down its walls, tempered by the satisfaction of mocking the Overland Dust Company Landlords and the absent Baron of Music, the Maestro Domenico Fontana.

The Sotto Voce - Episode Four Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

The Sotto Voce, the house of whispers, created from the remnants of a ghost ship, employed in an opera by a maestro that slowly went mad. Four neighborhood children were trapped inside. Three little girls had been chased to the basement, by an old musical feind, but now having crept back up the stairs, they peered through a crack and realized their troubles had tripled.

The Sotto Voce - Episode Three Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Enocke Green, the runaway boy was somewhere in the house, but the three girls. Temperance, Antigone, and Masie were calming in the temporary safety of the dark stairwell, lit only by matchlight.

Temperance and Antigone couldn't hear the house scream, but helped Masie limp along to compensate for her vertigo.

Three monstrous trucks drove around the pond edge to the end of the road in front of the Park Row mansions. Trailing a short distance behind was an old carriage carrying four old, bent men wiping the condensation from the windows so they could see. The trucks arrived, the first carrying a crew of heavy laborers that had agreed to triple wage for an intense overnight shift, to quickly make work of demolishing the old Maestro’s house, The Sotto Voce. The second held something under heavy rain cover and the third truck had a load of tethered barrels.

The Sotto Voce - Episode One Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

It was a gloomy morning at the edge of Parvum Pond. The early mist had not dissipated, but instead climbed up the slight incline, engulfing the vanguard of the park row mansions and mixing with the slight drizzle from the grey sky. Four old buzzards in capes and top hats, sat hunched in an undecorated coach as it pulled up past The houses of Lavendula, Mulberry, Halite, and beyond a thick, overgrown hedge filled with dark thorns, bramble, and tiny poisonousness berries.
