Mockery Manor

Today we'd like to introduce you to another great show from the Fable & Folly Network - Jack Valentine, Vampire DetectiveThat title was enough to grab me on its own, but in case you need more, here's what it's about.From their base at Solomon College, Oxford, Jack Valentine and her colleagues are tasked with keeping the existence of vampires secret from humanity. Mostly they hunt those of their number who’ve got carried away while blood-drinking and killed a human by accident, but occasionally they encounter the most dangerous kind of predator: a vampire serial killer.Jack Valentine, Vampire Detective is an LGBTQIA+-led comedy drama that mashes vampires and police procedural together into a fast-paced, sometimes gritty, sometimes romantic, and darkly funny mix.This isn't the first Jack Valentine story - the series' creator Josie Jaffrey has written 7 books starring this character. The podcast is a prequel, so you don't need to have read the books to enjoy it, but this is a seriously fleshed out world with a whole load of lore and stories to get lost in. You can find all the info here, and you can subscribe to the podcast in all the usual placesOnce you've listened to this, the second episode is coming out on June 19th, so head over and subscribe to Jack Valentine Vampired Detective to keep listening.And now, here's episode 1 - Dead Man's Hand.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our sincere thanks to you <3Read the TranscriptsPreviously on Mockery Manor: Bette sent each of the suspects a letter and brought them all to the parlour of the Four Spurs Saloon for a Poirot-style showdown. Sure enough, the currently-comatose Bobby is revealed as the man behind Clayton's many illegitimate kids. Twenty-some years ago, Bobby sold Clay's sperm without the country star's knowledge. What an asshole! One of those kids is revealed to be Clay's assistant, Anna Lou! Not only that, but Anna Lou's mother turns out to be Clay's stalker Abilene, the woman who invaded the VIP lounge on the night of the murder. That's right, folks, Abilene had bought some of Clay's purloined sperm to create her kids! Now, with those kids all grown up, Bette reveals that Abilene had recently been receiving love letters from someone purporting to be Clayton. Golly gosh! As for Jacob - formerly Harry - he claims to have come to the park with the sole purpose of getting his revenge on Bobby for running him out of town all those years ago... but Jacob done changed his mind and let bygones be bygones. And just as Bette was about to reveal who really poisoned Bobby, JJ burst through the doors and confessed!-------Written by Lindsay SharmanDirected by Lindsay Sharman and Laurence OwenMusic, sound design and editing by Laurence Owenfeaturing Hayley Evenett as Bette and JJ, Laurence Owen as Parker and additional voices, John Henry Falle as Fenwick, Christina Bianco as Kirsteen, Karim Kronfli as George, Luke Capasso as Jacob, Kristi Boulton as Anna Lou and Abilene, James Ducker as Walter, and Madame Magenta as herself.Mockery Manor is supported by Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants, and our wonderful patrons on Ko-fi.
