Tom's Terror Trove
Hello, and welcome to Tom's Terror Trove, a podcast currently disgorging The Crawling World, an original dark fantasy/sci fi, full cast audiodrama. I also narrate classics and little-known gems of horror fiction: Mid 19th - early 20th century a speciality.
New episodes every Friday, 9am NZ Time.
I’m Thomas, a voice-actor (+ an occasional writer and musician), and I’m delighted to have you join me for tonight's episode.
If you'd like to buy me a ko-fi, I have a page for that!
Tom's Terror Trove
Wolf, Panther, Lion; who are they really? An enquiry into the beasts of Limbus Company's Dark Forest
Limbus Company begins with Dante (our clock-headed manager-protagonist) beset by three sinister individuals known as Wolf, Panther and Lion. These characters have parallels in the Inferno, by Dante Alighieri.
In this episode, I draw upon some scholarship, a coupla wikis and my own general knowledge to pull together some additional information about the beasts, and what they mean, beyond what we are shown in the narrative thus far.
Plus I have a go at dubbing said interlopers!
