  • RQ Network Feed Drop – The Gentleman From Hell: |S1| Ep.1

    30:06|
    This month we are featuring a feed drop of an amazing new podcast that has just launched on the RQ Network The Gentleman From Hell.  The Gentleman From Hell is a brand new, chilling, horror audio drama. From the brilliant creators behind Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle.    In The Gentleman from Hell an entire town is gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow.  Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent.  For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they’re determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow.  Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumors swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something... infernal?  Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched.  Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared… but something still lingers in the shadows. The investigation begins… now."  Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to The Gentleman From Hell on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or listen wherever you get your podcasts, or to learn more about The Gentleman From Hell check out its official website.   Credits: Written by Mark Anzalone  Edited by Walker Kornfeld  Sound mastering by Steven J.
