Under the Electric Stars

For a brief moment, things look just as they were. Three siblings sit in a bedroom together, talking about the future. But the fate of Cair Mallplex, a real reunion, and the very possibility of tomorrow all rests on Valeria’s shoulders. The moon sits on the horizon. Mum’s the word. Featuring pirate puns, a voided warranty, and the return of cassette tapes.

Trigger warnings for references to violence, family death, grief throughout. Discussion of surveillance, mention of police brutality and imprisonment. Discussion of identity/stolen identity. Brief discussion of police brutality. Discussion of mortality and bombs. Brief mention of gender dysphoria.

Dominus is a full cast Catholic horror podcast in which three Catholic priests, trapped in a remote Ontario mansion by a strange blizzard, must find a way to exorcise a demon before it escapes into the world.

Unfortunately for them, the demon is a true believer, and therefore inoculated against Catholicism.

With Haven gone, now only one person in Glasshouse knows about Cair Mallplex's location—the last Reyes sibling, Valeria. And as the spirit of revolution continues to rise in the Metropolis, where her loyalties truly lie is no clear thing.

Trigger warnings for references to family death, grief, neglect, poverty throughout, discussion of surveillance tactics throughout, mention and discussion of police brutality and government force against its people, implied systemic racism/misogyny, discussion of political violence, and discussion of medical procedures and parental abuse and neglect.

A paved over parking lot where there was once a home, a radio tower that once seemed tall enough to touch the sky, and memories that linger long after the years have passed. Invisible connections link Metropolis West, Cair Mallplex, and Glasshouse--and what's been left in each of them will have to be reckoned with.

Trigger warnings for references to family death, grief, neglect, poverty, cults, diaspora, protests, police presence and police brutality (specific references to protest disruption tools), chase sequence, uncertainty (could be read as gaslighting.)
