Barrier Cities: New Orleans - Episode 4: You Can't Judge A Book By The Dampness Of The Cover
Description
Deep in the Louisiana bayou, life and death twist together in the shadows. What begins as a story of nature’s balance soon curdles into something far darker: a tale of creation gone wrong and vengeance born from the swamp itself.
A strange figure watches over these waters, half-man, half-monster, haunted by what he’s lost and what he’s become. When a scavenging mission turned adventure brings new friends to his island, old wounds are ripped open and buried secrets rise with the tide as ghosts from the past make an appearance as well.
Magic flickers where it shouldn’t, and familiar faces prove not to be what they seem. By the time dawn breaks, blood stains the water, and a new kind of horror takes hold.
Some spirits never rest. Some only wait for the right body to wear.
Content Warning:
This episode contains descriptions of real-world animal practices, including the collection of wild alligators for breeding and farming. It also discusses the harvesting of alligators for their skin and meat, as well as certain extreme methods involving the killing of adult alligators and the culling of entire clutches rather than releasing them back into the wild. Listener discretion is advised, especially for those who may find discussions of animal harm or ethical treatment distressing.
