Ever since Judith Antoni’s lifelong best friend, Claire Sterback, inherited a house from the family she never knew, things have started to change. Claire has started to change. It isn’t just that the house is old, or creaky, or full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and a basement that’s way colder than it should be. Claire is… off. Claire is sleepwalking. Sometimes, when Claire begins to speak, it isn’t even her voice that comes out. She’s pulling away from her friends and partner, she’s obsessing over a cult her biological family might have been a part of, and as Claire gets closer to a secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, she is also getting closer to losing herself completely. After Claire takes off without warning and cuts off contact, Judith — with the help of her co-worker Owen — vows to figure out what happened to her best friend, even if it means diving into a history that may have been better left untouched. Even if it means dealing with spirits that really do not like her. Parkdale Haunt is a serialized horror fiction podcast about friendship, identity, cults, demons — and what it really means to be faced with the reno from hell.
