Red in the Dark

Leonard Voss

Red in the Dark is a psychological horror thriller about what happens when good intentions blur into harm. The story follows intersecting lives—workers, criminals, parents, enforcers—moving through systems that reward cruelty, excuse damage, and hide evil in plain sight. At the center is Larry, a man capable of rescuing strangers and committing deeply violent acts with the same certainty, according to his code. This is a story about how survival warps judgment, how lines disappear quietly, and how people—good and bad alike—destroy others, or themselves, without noticing how far they’ve fallen

  1. The Lobsterman - Beyond the Dark: The Fallen (stand alone)

    APR 29

    The Lobsterman - Beyond the Dark: The Fallen (stand alone)

    The sea gives things back eventually. The Lobsterman – Beyond the Dark: The Fallen follows David, a quiet Maine lobsterman living off the coast, hauling traps from cold water while carrying memories that never stayed buried. Human bones begin surfacing inside his traps. Some things don't begin with monsters. Sometimes they begin with frightened children, broken homes, addiction, violence, and people who learn too early that pain does not simply disappear when the moment ends. Oftentimes, those who have fallen were once victims themselves. The Fallen explores the thin line between trauma and transformation — the slow erosion of a person beneath abuse, isolation, grief, and the desperate need to hold onto something human after too much has already been taken away. Beyond the Dark is a standalone branch of the Red in the Dark universe — psychological horror stories, isolated incidents, recovered narratives, and fragmented descents into the people and places existing just outside the main storyline. Set along the coast of Maine, The Lobsterman blends psychological horror, crime thriller tension, trauma, violence, and emotional collapse into a story about what remains of a person after years of surviving the unbearable. Some things sink quietly. Some things wash back ashore. Written, produced, sound engineered and voice acted by Leonard Voss. Co-Written by David Gee Voice acting for The Lobsterman "David" by David Gee

    S1 E2 The Day Before - SMILE! You're on Camera. (Chapter 2: Part 1)

    Leonard Voss runs errands after work. Grocery store. Quick stop. A man starts losing control in front of his children. Leonard steps in. It ends quickly, but the moment follows him out of the store. At checkout, a cashier recognizes him while a news report plays quietly in the background. Another story about violence. Another face on a screen that refuses to leave his head once he gets home. So Leonard does what he always does when his thoughts start getting loud. He goes for a run. The Day Before continues Red in the Dark — a serialized psychological horror audio drama rooted in trauma, fractured memory, violence, emotional collapse, and the quiet ways people learn to live beside darkness for too long. But what happens when a face in the crowd stops looking human for just a second? What happens when your own reflection starts feeling unfamiliar? Some things are easier to ignore in daylight. Not everything waits for daylight to come back. Written, produced, sound engineered and voice acted by Leonard Voss

    (Prologue) Get to Maine

    "For men like us, there are only two paths. We can continue to be the monsters that we have become, or we can seek redemption at any cost."— Caleb Banks A late-night news report. A body recovered without a face. A phone call that sends Caleb Banks back to Maine. Red in the Dark is a connected world — serialized, expanding, told from multiple directions at once. Audio drama. Music. Recovered recordings. Standalone stories that eventually stop being standalone. Leonard Voss created it, and walks inside it too, one of its central characters in a story that has no single center. Maine is where it starts. It doesn't stay there. People disappear. Timelines fracture. Threads go quiet before they resurface somewhere you didn't expect. This prologue is one door into that world — not the only one, not the first in every sense — but the one that opens here. Caleb Banks will return. Some doors open slowly.Some doors, you wish stayed closed. But on this ride, you don't get a choice. You walk through them anyway. Written, produced, sound engineered by Leonard Voss.
