New Gothic Audio Drama Scarlett: Reliquary of Souls Launches on Kickstarter

HAMILTON, Ontario - EntSun -- There's a storm gathering on the horizon of indie storytelling: Scarlett: Reliquary of Souls. A modern gothic audio thriller steeped in myth and survival, Scarlett is preparing to claw its way into the world via Kickstarter.

Set against the haunted streets of early-2000s Toronto, this eight-part audio series unearths a hidden war—where gods fade, the dead walk beside the living, and Scarlett Velasco stands at the edge: occult scholar, exorcist, and mortal daughter of Hades.

But no one fights alone. Anne Sagona, a weary journalist searching for meaning in a city that's already eaten her alive, is pulled into Scarlett's orbit. Together, they'll navigate cults, dying gods, and the gravity of fate.

A Story That Refuses to Die:
Scarlett isn't nostalgia. It's a reckoning—an inheritance of women who bury the world inside themselves because no one else will. Drawing from cult classics like The Crow and Constantine and while forging a voice of its own.
