Clockwork Bird – Details, episodes & analysis

Hi, I’m Eira, creator of Clockwork Bird and Spirit Box Radio, and I’m here to tell you about another show, Not Quite Dead.

After seeing a succession of patients succumb to the same brutal injuries to their necks, Alfie, an overworked emergency nurse, is almost killed by a foul, rotting creature. He’s saved by a mysterious man who tells him the only chance Alfie has to live to let him drink his blood. Alfie agrees, not realising that giving his blood to Casper, a vampire, will mean the two of them become inextricably linked. This strange bond pulls Alfie deep into the world of vampires, and soon he is faced with a terrible choice; walk away and forget; or risk it all and try to become a vampire too.

Not Quite Dead is a gory romance horror story about the violence of vulnerability and the horrors both outside and within ourselves. If you like vampire stories, twisted romance, gory horror, and stories which bite back, search for Not Quite Dead wherever you find your podcasts, or go to hangingslothstudios.com/not-quite-dead to find out more.

Nestled in the hills and trees of the North of England is a tiny town, invisible to passing hikers and planes flying overhead. Twelvelms is part of a secret world just out of sight of the one we all live in; a dangerous magical world full of curses and spells beyond our imagination, and hidden histories which loop and twist like the knotted roots of ancient trees. With rewards on offer including a prospectus for Twelvelms University which is jam-packed with detail and world-building, an immersive journalling experience which will provide you with a journalling activity once a month for entire year, welcome boxes filled to the brim with Twelvelms goodies, and a lite RPG discord server run by the creator of the show, there’s something for everyone. The campaign has also built carbon off-setting into the production budget, so you know we care about the planet as well as the podcast!

A lead finally comes to DI Dave in his search for Alice Jones, but it’s not from where Shelly expected. This new information throws everything they know about U-Co and what happened at Huddau Bay into chaos, and both Shelly and Dave are left with the troubling possibility that perhaps they were wrong about just about everything.

Alice is on a mission to convince Sophie to do something she is convinced will save Robin’s life, but she doesn’t say what. Shelly trawls through the notes both she and Alice have put together to find this key piece of information, in hopes it is the final piece of the puzzle.

Grappling with the troubling possibility that U-Co’s technology could not only bring people back from the dead, but create digital ghosts, Shelly wonders how many of the voices in the recordings are real, and what ‘real’ even means in the context of people, blended with machinery and code.

The line between man and machine is blurring; anyone who has seen a photograph of Robin Jaeger could tell you that. But the distinction may be even cloudier than either Shelly or Dave first realised.

Yet another folder of recordings appears on Shelly’s laptop, but these ones are different. She’s seen them before. Somehow, E-Liza and the files are more connected than Shelly realised. Maybe she is not malfunctioning after all.
