The Hollow Archive

There is a house. Inside it, an archive. Folklorist Alice Halloway inherits her great-aunt’s collection of strange, unsettling testimonies—stories of disappearances, bargains, and encounters with the fae. She doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Not yet. But the more she digs, the more the Archive resists. Pages shift. Records change. And something in the dark is listening. Explore the stories. Unravel the mystery. But be careful what you seek. Coming soon. #TheHollowArchive

✨ The Hollow Archive Discord is now open ✨

Friends and Folk!

The doors to the Archive have creaked open just a little wider.

We now have an official Discord server for The Hollow Archive!

Whether you're curious about the podcast, want to chat with fellow early birds, or just feel like swapping eerie stories and uncanny dreams, you're warmly invited to join us.

Right now, the server is a little barebones. A library with very empty shelves if you will...but I have big plans as this grows.

Come say hi, introduce yourself, and help shape what this strange little corner of the internet becomes.

Come in, but mind the rules. The Archive listens.

With a curious delighted heart, E. K. Fenwick

Hello Friends and Folk,

I am utterly bewildered and delighted by the number of auditions I received for Episode One of The Hollow Archive. When I first floated this strange little podcast idea into the world, I truly didn’t expect more than maybe... ten people to show up. Instead, I’m still reeling at the over 60+ auditions waiting for me to take a listen (in the best way possible).

Auditions officially closed today, and I’ll be making casting decisions for Episode One by the end of the month. Thank you all for your patience while I listen through the magic you sent in.

In the meantime, I have something else to open up to you.

I’m planning a few mini trailers and bits of bonus content—whispers, rhymes, eerie moments between the static—and I want your voices to help bring them to life.

As a small thank you to everyone who auditioned (whether or not you end up in the episode), I’d love to include you in these extra pieces. Think: one-liners, strange chants, distant echoes in the dark. If you’re open to it, I’ll be sending out a link to some short snippets with a few options to choose from.

More details soon. For now, thank you. Thank you for believing in this weird, haunted story. The Archive has begun to open, and it’s better with you in it.

With gratitude and creeping curiosity,

E. K. Fenwick

Casting Call for The Hollow Archive!

Hello friends and folk!

The Hollow Archive is seeking voice actors for our pilot episode. There are currently 3 open roles, but anyone who auditions for this pilot episode will also be considered for future roles.

Click here to audition!

More info available on the audition site, but also available under the cut !

The Hollow Archive is a horror fiction podcast blending folklore, mystery, and slow burn psychological horror. The story follows Alice Halloway, a folklorist who inherits the home of her Great Aunt Eleanor and with it an Archive. The Archive is filled with records of supposed fae encounters that Alice isn't quite sure she believes. But as she sorts through Eleanor's life and belongings and begins cataloging the files, she is drawn deeper into an unsettling world, questioning whether the stories of her childhood are real and if there's something deeper happening with the Archives. This first call will be for ONLY a pilot episode but if all goes well a full series will be put into motion. In which case there will be another round of casting for more characters.

ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL AUDITIONS CLOSE!

21 HOURS LEFT UNTIL AUDITIONS FOR EPISODE ONE CLOSE!!!

[thehollowarchive]

Out of curiosity, where are the archives based? I'd love to audition but my accent isn't American or RP British though I can do both so I wanted to check which vibe you're going for

Hello Friend!

So, truth be told, this is a question I am still (even at this stage!) not firm on! Since the pilot episode doesn't mention it directly, it's definitely been a detail that I have handwaved.

Currently, the idea is for the Archive to be based in Massachusetts, though I've also thought of it being based in Florida or Washington. or some in a random no-name town in god knows where. However, because of the...rather flexible nature of the Archives (and truthfully, the still hazy details of some character details suc'h'm as family background) I am open to any and all accents!

So please have fun with it! Test a few out even and see what feels right! If this pilot grows into what I want it to be...well even if you're not selected this time there is a plethora of character who will need voices!

I'm excited for your audition!

General Information

Artifact: The Silver-Threaded Veil

File Number: 356-100903

Date: Oct 9th. 2003

Material Composition: Finely woven silk, metallic threads

Recovered From: An abandoned church

Current Status: Sealed in reinforced glass casing

Threat Assessment: l̴͖̽́ȍ̵̰w̶̛̳͈̲̃̆

Observations

A work of art, its patterns shifting slightly as you look at it from different angles . When you put it on your head the world outside becomes strangely muted. Voices get farther away, colors fade, time slows. Those who wear it say they feel an overwhelming sense of separation, not just from the world around them but from themselves. As if they are watching their own body from a step removed. It doesn’t make you invisible but people seem to glance past you as if you’re not fully there. Doesn’t collect dust or age. Prolonged use leaves you with an eerie feeling of absence, and long term dissociation.

Additional Notes

Veil’s effects may vary based on the wearer’s state of mind. Attempts to alter the veil fail, as its threads reweave overnight.

Where might one find these testimonies

The archives will be opening soon

From the Journals of Alice Halloway, Folklorist and inheritor of her great-aunt Eleanor's archive of Faerie stories

[Alt text: March --,----

I don't know how long I've been here today. The clock says one thing, but my body insists it's been hours, maybe days. Time has always been slippery in this place, but now it's becoming outright cruel. I feel like I'm being watched—not just by the Archive, but by something else. Something I can't quite explain.]

[thehollowarchive]

Extinguished, but never gone.

He is still watching

[thehollowarchive]

There are stories that linger. Whispers in the dark, pages that turn when no one is looking. Some say the Archive is just a collection of forgotten folklore. Others know better.

The Hollow Archive is waiting… and it never forgets.
