1: Winter Greetings
Happy first day of winter. Yes, I realize the calender says we still have another month and half before it’s “officially” winter, but when the temps hit 32 in kudzu covered Kennesaw, winter is in the air and I can hear the distant cries of the lost souls of Whamhalla.
2: The Monster Universe Audio Drama

Big things happening here in The Strangeverse and I want to make sure you folks know about them. First, is the launch of a new, creepy, audio drama called the Monster Universe Audio Drama: a mash-up of the classic monsters with THE ALIENST and a dash of LOST tossed in for that extra spicy flavor.
This is my first major project (written and produced) since the Harry Strange Radio Drama, and I am quite excited about it. I’ve assembled a killer cast with (according to beta readers) a tight story. Current plans include a three episode pilot and a 12 episode season. In order to pay the voice actors and crew for their work, we will seek sponsors, patrons, and crowd funding.
3: The Story So Far (With Video Trailer)
Each trailer acts as a prologue to the main story. Trailer #3 is below.
The story so far: Moria Le Fanu landed in America with a dire warning (trailer #1). Nikola Tesla completed work on Wardenclyffe Tower and plans to schedule a transmission test which caused Thomas Edison to make his own alarming announcement (trailer #2).

4: What about the Harry Strange Radio Drama?
The Harry Strange Radio Drama remains in its current state for the foreseeable future. There is a completed novel (Harry Strange: Eternal Hearts) but I have done little to get it in-front of publishers. The novel serves as a soft reboot to the series and, depending on interest, there are three books planned.
In the meantime, however, Harry Strange subscribers can listen to the Monster Universe Audio Drama trailers as they drop on the Harry Strange feed.
5: This and That
I’ve finished the last episode of the Scarlet Hood Adventures. Wrapping up that story after 18 episodes was tougher than I expected. I’d grown close to those characters, and saying goodbye to them was bittersweet. So bittersweet in fact that I may write a Scarlett Hood novel for NaNoWriMo (yes, I am already a day behind—hush).
Episode 5 of the Lady Sherlock Mysteries is in outline draft. Lady Holmes and Miss Hudson are in the Millbank Workhouse because of spurious charges by Abberline and Foozler. This series has 12 episodes planned and studio recording in late 2024 or early 2025.
The Jeremiah Wilstone Adventures (adapted from the stories by Anthony Francis) is written, almost fully funded, and goes into production in January 2024.
I have several prose shot stories on the slate that I will get to in 2024. More deets about them when they are grow flesh, bones, all the gooshey bits in the middle and—wait, what were talking about?
6: The Socials
All social media exist at the pleasure of guys who may decide to tank the whole thing on a whim or a bruised ego (looking at you Xwitter) which is why newsletters like the one you are reading are key to the future of staying in touch. I come to you, hat in hand, and ask you to subscribe to this one. I have no plans to charge for The Strangeverse News, as this list will be my primary method of talking with you lovely people. While I name squat on most platforms (tonythescribe on all), I am most active on Threads and Blue Sky.
