Storyteller Chronicles: The Horde
Patrick Scaffido
Read by Patrick Scaffido
The Horde, a mysterious force that brings nightmares to life, devours everything in its path.
Bridan, a lone traveler, seeks the key to the Horde's destruction at the expense of all else- bystanders, worlds, and broken lives be damned.
Cyrack, the Horde's inhuman master, follows Bridan across the Worldcycle seeking Bridan's heart- literally.
Terry is caught between them, dreaming their battles across the blasted wastes of Farrakan from the safety of his dull nine to five life and the arms of his loving girlfriend.
None of this is true.
Terry glimpsed the hideous intelligence hiding behind the struggle and it has driven him mad.
Something watches, hungers, and manipulates events keeping the Horde moving ever closer to the center of creation, leaving only empty husks in its wake.
Planet by planet, town by town, life by life, friend by friend, Bridan makes his way forward.
And as the Horde follows without rest, Terry knows that their next destination is Earth.
The Horde is a genre bending novel incorporating elements of Science Fiction, Epics, Dark Urban Fantasy, Horror, and Surrealism performed in the style of acoustic deathfolk and released weekly as short albums. You've never heard anything quite like it.

It's cool. Everyone listens differently. I didn't think you were cruel at all and actually really liked how you characterized "the piteous mewling of the wannabe beat poet" which pretty much fits the narrator to a T. Thanks for the feedback. If you want to drop me your email I ...

Ok so I wanted to give anyone who might be interested an update on the status of this podcast. First of all, it is not dead. However, a number of incidents occurred to impact its production. First, the hard drive that had the next few finalized scripts and recorded episodes ...

Nanowrimo is impacting my podcast release schedule. I will be catching up but please bear with me as I finish my second book. If you'd like to apply some pressure, please email me, twitter me @thousandheads, or leave a note here. I'd find it motivating to hear from you. Thanks.

Sorry, gave up on this after about 60 seconds. I am sure the story is good but I listen to audiobooks to hear books, not music. I skimmed a few tracks to see if the same applies throughout and gave up. I look forward to a voice only release.
