It’s 1921. Maude starts writing in a diary, but her life is abysmally boring and she has nothing to talk about. A life of meaning feels far away. One afternoon, in an unusual pawn shop, she finds a tiny fragment of china with nothing on it but a bright blue eye. Maude takes the china eye home with her, not realizing she has cursed herself - straight into an underground world of paranormal speakeasies, plague mask thingies, magic doorways, unsolved murders - and an extraordinary life.

So yclept ,

A lovely find

A woman’s life is transformed by a strange destiny, revealed through the first person narration of her diary.

Witty, intriguing, captivating. A lovely podcast that I highly recommend.

Not ready…

On the plus side a consistently produced podcast with a half decent narration style.

However, this hasn’t seen a professional editor. Nor is the piece well researched. There’s quite a few historical mistakes and stretches for the 1920’s.

Needed more work and a fresh pair of eyes. Something is there but it wasn’t ready to be released

Cool

One of the best and most underrated audio dramas. Modest production but it more than makes up for it in the quality of the writing
