Description: The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine: A Horror, Dark Fantasy, Medical Mystery Audio Drama Umberto Eco Meets H.P. Lovecraft in a world of Occult Academia, Laboratory Judaica. Heavily inspired by Jewish mythology, the world of Olam uses Hebrew, Arabic, Slavic and other real world languages and cultures to create a rich tapestry of a grim, fantastical, planet that doesn't sacrifice scientific accuracy or historicity. Case 001: Shepherd the Dead In this debut case of The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine, disgraced cleric and field researcher Radulf Burntwine documents the aftermath of a viral outbreak in a remote Kemovek village following an attack from a mysterious vagrant known only as Patient Zero. Told through Radulf's personal audio recordings, transcribed onto steel filament using salvaged monastery technology, Case 001 introduces listeners to the world of the Olam and the divine plagues of the Nagifim. This episode covers the full investigation of Mowetto Nagifa, Raver Ricvn known in the villages as Ghoul Rot, Grave Plague, and Cold Fever a bloodborne pathogen of divine origin that mimics death before turning its victims into a vicious mockery of life. The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine sits at the intersection of dark fantasy, body horror, and forensic investigation. If you've ever wanted a podcast that treats disease and mythology with the same care as a true crime documentary, this is the show for you. Radulf is not a hero. He's a disgraced curmudgeonly cleric with a terrible bedside manner and more pride than sense. This episode contains: descriptions of cannibalism, bodily decomposition, eye trauma, tissue decay, grief, and the death of multiple characters including a child, suicide.
