The Lion and the Adder - A 1920s Detective Audio Drama

Robin Sylvester, gadabout demonologist, finds time between gin martinis to solve the most magical crimes 1920s London has to offer.

The Lion and the Adder Kickstarter is now LIVE!! ✨🥳

If you love spiffy little trans lads, psychic lesbians, demons and beasties, and Golden Age detective fiction, then this is the full cast audio drama for you 🎉

We're aiming to raise £4,500 by June 2nd. There's tons of cool rewards available for backers, including personalised artwork, character playlists, behind-the-scenes peeks and the chance to hang out with the cast and crew!

If you want a taste of what's to come, we have two minisodes out now - listen to them by searching 'The Lion and the Adder' wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

The Detective follows DI Nicholas Hawthorn and his protege DC Edwards as they take a break from investigating magical crime to do a spot of shopping. Starring Paul Warren (Camlann) and AMC (The Vesta Clinic).

The Psychic introduces Evelyn 'Bash' Sebastian, a young woman who uses her psychic powers to converse with ghosts and spirits. But keeping up a conversation with an eligible young bachelor proves rather more difficult... Starring Méabh de Brún (The Silt Verses) and Colette Hart (Last Dance).

Check out the campaign to learn more about the show and help us bring this fabulous project to life 💕✨

Hello, friends. As a Belfast-based company - and as thinking, feeling people making their lives in this city - we wanted to address the racist violence that has been taking place across NI.

First up, everyone at Monstrous HQ is fine. There was some activity near us but it didn't spread up towards where we actually are. Emotionally, we're… getting through it.

For those of you of a practical bent, here are two charities you can donate to right now who are helping victims of last nights attacks:

The Anaka Collective is directly raising money for those impacted

The Migrant Centre does ongoing work to support migrants in Belfast and across NI

Please donate if you're able, and share if you're not.

The important thing to remember in the wake of this kind of outburst is that these people, whatever they may think, do not represent either this city or this country. They are pathetic, power-hungry losers who will stop at nothing to make themselves feel big.

Belfast of today is almost unrecognisable from the city I moved to 15 years ago. It's become a place where diversity is the norm rather than the exception, and while it still has a ways to go, it's made huge strides in reconciling with its past and building something beautiful for the future.

Since last night, I've seen an outpouring of love and kindness from people who know Belfast is better than this - people who love this wee country and are determined to make it a loving, welcoming home for anyone who finds themselves here. We are the majority, and we will not let racist thugs and bullies pretend otherwise.

I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me, eh? WELL TOUGH!

The Lion and the Adder Kickstarter is now accepting late pledges! as a team of people with chronic "oh that looks nice I will make sure to do that thing later on"-itis, we know how annoying it is when you miss the boat because your brain insists that you've already done it simply because you've thought about it, so here! have some extra time to support us!

also from a slightly-less-altruistic approach we are SO close to our next stretch goal of £6k which means a Q&A with our producers Hero, Eira and Sophie, and speaking as one (or more! i'll never tell) of those people, I think that would be just SUPER fun to do

[yellow-cat]

some days are really hard and it can be difficult to understand why. but usually its probably because my blood is haunted

[monstrousproductions]

THE FINAL DAY!

If you've been meaning to, don't miss out on your opportunity to support queer independent audio fiction get some cool rewards. £69 sloppy makeouts are only a click (and £69) away! Bet you've never heard THAT on Tumblr before!

Oh, you have? Where?

Bots, you say? No, that sounds made up.

We realised we never specified whether the characters who will sloppily be making out had to be from the pod or not and Hero thought to jokingly test my abilities but THE JOKE IS ON THEM, I DID MY TIME IN THE MINES FOR THIS
