Azathoth Blues

Jonas Kyratzes & Chris Christodoulouwww.azathothblues.com

Azathoth Blues is a cosmic horror audio drama created by Jonas Kyratzes (The Talos Principle) and Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain), who previously brought you Gospels of the Flood.

Something is deeply wrong in the city. Strange murders are being ignored, dangerous new drugs are spreading, corporations are corrupting everything they touch, and the law itself seems to have a price tag.

Into this mess step three cops who, against all odds, have stayed honest. Harrison Crane (Joe Lynch) is a war veteran slowly drinking himself into oblivion. Ben Wade (Adam Green) is an idealist desperately trying to stay hopeful. Susan Danton (Kacey Camp) is principled, analytical, and utterly alone. The reward for their integrity is reassignment to the Unified Cold Case Taskforce, an infamous unit buried in a basement office nicknamed the Murder Dungeon and overseen by Captain Donovan (Sean Branney), a legendary hardass no one wants to work for. But nothing is quite as it appears, and what starts as a dead-end assignment turns into something far stranger. Their pursuit of answers will lead them on a journey into paranoia, conspiracy, murder, ritual, and madness.

But will finally uncovering the truth save them, or destroy them?
