Following the brawl at Stoolie’s Bar, and the showdown with rixator Basil Beverly and adjurator Rochelle Dollar, Billy took Lincoln back to the Old Stone Church. Teddy Two-Fingers is reveling in his new foreman’s talents. Delilah Droman has been the find of the century for him and his nightmare-harvesting operation. Delilah, though, isn’t quite as excited. She spends her days amplifying the nightmares of children, forcing them to face their deepest terrors over and over again. If Delilah doesn’t do this, she will be the one experiencing the endless horror, and if she is tossed into that abyss, her plans or escape — for her and for the children — will drift away like that last tatters of a forgotten dream.

The first episode of a podcast that celebrates the Sigler Junkies, recorded live with a chat room of said Junkies. As this is a live recording, you’ll notice it’s a bit less polished than the fiction podcast. But in true Sigler fashion, there’s still some naughty language, lots of laughter, and general tomfoolery. In this episode, we talk about AI in writing and audiobook narration as Scott preps for a panel at StokerCon 2024.

Teddy Two-Fingers kidnapped Delilah Droman from her father’s mansion in Barron Heights. Teddy is holding her captive at his “nightmare factory,” located deep underground in parts unknown, where he and Hiamana are training her to be the factory’s foreman. Delilah is trying to find a way to escape or to get a message to Lincoln, as she believes Lincoln will rescue her. Lincoln was at Stoolie’s Bar & Grill, looking for Lupo and Booty Shooty, accomplices of the recently deceased Thoko Chikondi. Lincoln hopes they know where Teddy’s hideout is. Teddy, somehow, called Lincoln at the bar and poured salt in Lincoln’s wounds, driving Lincoln to start drinking the free shots offered by Maylene, a bartender there. Lincoln did not tell Magda, Ariella, or Billy where he was going, and he shut off his connection with Magda’s meshwork ear cuff. He’s been gone for hours, and they have no idea where he is.

Teddy is training Delilah to work in his nightmare factory. She is learning her duties as “the foreman” of the operation. Lincoln wants to find Delilah, but he has no leads. On the advice of his father, Jacoby Franks, Lincoln set out to “follow the pain.” Lincoln told Billy, Magda, and Ariella that he’s doing this alone, and ignored their efforts to help. When Delilah was taken from Droman’s mansion, Teddy put a bullet in Billy’s arm. Morgan Stone worked on the wound first, then, at the Old Stone Church, Magda tended to it, letting a wriggling carofactor slide in to repair the damage.  Created by Scott Sigler and Rob Otto Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2024 by Empty Set Entertainment  Theme music is the song “They’re Watching Me” by SUPERWEAPON.
