PERSONAL DEMON
A YA Horror Series
Available on Redcircle or anywhere you find podcasts...
Norah's your average 17 year old girl... other than she can eviscerate you with one look. Not that she means to, it just happens. Haunted by powers she can’t control and a past she doesn’t understand she flees to Hogarth, a strange town with dark secrets, in search of answers about who (or what) she really is.
As horrors crawl out of the shadows and friendly faces reveal fangs, Norah is forced into an uneasy alliance with the demon hunter sent to kill her and two classmates hiding dark secrets of their own. Together, they battle twisted creatures plaguing Hogarth, all while Norah grapples with the dark forces within her to answer the terrifying question: What if she was never meant to be good?
Personal Demon is a YA horror-fantasy fiction podcast about identity, morality, power and the terrifying cost of forging your own path, new episodes release every Friday @ 7pm (UK), available everywhere you find podcasts.
About Season 2 - Do As I Say, Not As I Do (Coming Dec 5)
Norah’s been unwittingly entered into a gladiatorial death match pitting her against demons representing the four classic elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air.
However, fearing she’ll lose control of herself again, Norah rejects the trial, putting her friends (and the very fabric of reality) at risk.
As if that’s not enough, Paul’s overbearing old sister Harri arrives in town. And she’s not thrilled about the fact her brother’s made besties with the very demon he was supposed to kill.
Meanwhile, Halle’s over it, Josh is caught in the middle, and Norah’s going to have to decide once and for all: Is she the hero they all need… or something they should be afraid of?
