Morgan Knox can see the Darkness coming...but that may not be enough to stop it from destroying the world. In 1930’s Manhattan, a Latina private detective is posthumously hired by a man hoping to solve his own murder. Morgan Knox is just the right investigator for the job: ever since her experience in World War I left her with the ability to see paranormal phenomena, she’s had one foot in the shadows and another in the real world. As the case leads her through the city, Knox battles more forces beyond human sight: corruption, greed, and temptation have taken Manhattan by storm, and if she isn’t careful, she could be the Darkness’ next victim. The Shadow Files of Morgan Knox is a Realm production written by K Arsenault Rivera, Brooke Bolander, Gabino Iglesias, and Sunny Moraine. Listen Away. For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm

She’s decided Hollywood isn’t for her, resigned to a normal life of caring for her ailing mother.

Now he’s the last of his kind, moving from place to place to avoid detection. After a series of horrifying events, their lives collide...and if they aren’t prepared, it’s unlikely they’ll survive.

DRAMA
James and Terrance share DNA, but they aren’t brothers. They aren’t even friends. As a civil advisor for the LAPD, James relies on Terrance— his genetic clone—to help him pass mandatory drug testing. But when Terrance suddenly goes missing, and multiple clones end up murdered, a case of mistaken identity forces James to inhabit his double’s life, risking that the secret of his addiction will unravel his carefully composed lies. First designed as biotech property and then raised in foster care, Echoes live on the outskirts of society; genetic clones of their sources, but rarely accepted into their lives. That’s what Terrance should have been for James— a stranger he never even knew existed— but instead, their lives became dangerously intertwined. After Terrance misses their usual exchange of clean urine for cash, a man with a gun shows up instead. In order to stay alive, James pretends he’s Terrance, setting off a dangerous chain of events that quickly spiral out of his control. Inhabiting his clone’s life is the easy part; James is used to lying. He’s lied to his traditional, well-off Chinese parents about where he goes at night, to his coworkers at the LAPD about his drug habit, and to Terrance, about how severe his addiction really is. It never occurred to him that Terrance was keeping secrets, too. As he learns about the history of clones, James begins to question the biggest secret of all: the one his parents kept when they, like many others, chose to clone their children. When clones are murdered and James is blackmailed by someone who knows his true identity, finding Terrance becomes only half the mission. Because the clues left in his wake lead to a conspiracy even more cold blooded than murder— and if James can prove it, the lines and lies that divide his world and the clones will be shattered forever. Echo Park is a Realm production starring Harry Shum Jr., written by Curtis C. Chen, Monte Lin, Millie Ho, Sloane Leong, and Jenn Reese. Listen Away.

When she journeyed to Alaska, she found something even more dangerous. Maybe we feel the uncanny valley because long ago, we had to fear something that pretended to be human.

FICCIÓN
This horror-comedy features a chupacabra exterminator and a marine biology student who become unlikely allies while solving a monstrous murder. Ever since the Florida swamps went feral a few years back, Brad Marlin has been killing chupacabras. But on a standard house call for a student new to the area, things go horribly wrong. Brad’s coworker is murdered, and not, Brad suspects, by the standard sucker they’ve all gotten used to. A new monster is in their midst. But there’s more than one secret hiding in the swamp: a missing millionaire’s daughter, a top-secret government project, and a radical environmental justice group all collide to give this twisty mystery an explosive conclusion. Low Life is a Realm production, created and written by Steve Marcarelli and Billy Lalor. Listen Away. For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm
