Waiting For October

The cover art for the show is of a tree stump in a forest with various monstrous limbs reaching around it - a clawed hand, a wing, a few tentacles - and on the stump itself is an open book with mystical energy rising from it. The colours of the woods behind are very red and orange. Superimposed are the words, "Waiting For October"

Waiting For October is an upcoming queer supernatural audio drama series from the creators of Moonbase Theta, Out. The setting is the world of October – a place of monsters, a place of fiction, a place of others born from the need of our stories. It’s a world that’s wild and transformative, where gill folks live in the lakes and weres run through the city streets, while kaiju roar beyond the mountains and the Moon always fills the midnight sky …

THANK YOU FOR A SUCCESSFUL CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN! We can’t wait to bring this show to you and share our monstrous world!
