How do you judge a monster movie? If it's all about the practical effects, then The Tank (New Zealand, 2023) should slither into your eyeballs. If you want a creature feature with a sense of humor, though, head into the outback with Carnifex (Australia, 2022). Both are on Tubi. Also, a record-breaking Thai flick inspired by The Evil Dead hits Netflix and a vampire movie with the most on-the-nose title in history hits Shudder.

In the 63rd episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd dive headfirst into the brutal and unrelenting world of deathcore, a subgenre that has been both celebrated and maligned within the broader metal community. This episode is a special one for the duo, as they each pick their top five favorite deathcore bands, offering deep insights into what makes each band stand out, and why these bands have left such a significant mark on the genre. But that's not all—Jay and Modd also take the time to discuss plenty of other notable deathcore acts, giving listeners a comprehensive look at the state of deathcore today. The episode kicks off with a brief history of deathcore, tracing its origins back to the mid-2000s when metalcore bands started incorporating death metal elements into their music. Jay and Modd discuss how this fusion led to the creation of a genre that combines the breakdown-heavy intensity of metalcore with the guttural vocals, blast beats, and complex riffing of death metal. They also touch on the controversy that has surrounded deathcore since its inception, with some purists rejecting it as a watered-down version of death metal, while others embrace it as a legitimate evolution of the genre. With the stage set, Jay and Modd each reveal their top five deathcore bands, starting with their fifth picks and working their way up to their all-time favorites. As they go through their lists, they offer detailed commentary on each band, discussing their favorite albums, standout tracks, and the impact each band has had on the genre. As the episode continues, Jay and Modd reveal the rest of their lists, with Jay showcasing his love for bands like Despised Icon, known for their relentless aggression and technical prowess, and And Hell Followed With, one of the pioneers of the genre whose influence can still be felt in modern deathcore. Throughout the discussion, Jay and Modd share personal anecdotes about their experiences with these bands, whether it's seeing them live, discovering their music for the first time, or how their albums have influenced their own musical tastes. In addition to their top five picks, Jay and Modd take the time to discuss several other deathcore bands that deserve recognition. They talk about how bands like Carnifex, Chelsea Grin, and Oceano have each contributed to the genre in their own unique ways, whether it's through their relentless touring schedules, their ability to incorporate new elements into their music, or their staying power in a scene that has seen many bands come and go. The episode also touches on the future of deathcore, with Jay and Modd speculating on where the genre might go next. They discuss how newer bands are pushing the boundaries of what deathcore can be, incorporating elements from other genres like black metal, djent, and even electronic music. The hosts express their excitement for the future, noting that while deathcore has had its ups and downs, the genre continues to evolve and attract new fans. Jay and Modd wrap up the episode by encouraging listeners to check out the bands discussed and to explore the wider world of deathcore. They remind fans that while the genre may not be for everyone, it has a passionate and dedicated following for a reason. Whether you're a longtime deathcore fan or just getting into the genre, this episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast offers something for everyone—a deep dive into the bands that have defined deathcore and a celebration of the music that continues to push the boundaries of extreme metal. As always, Jay and Modd invite listeners to share their own favorite deathcore bands and albums, and to join the conversation on social media. With their signature blend of humor, insight, and passion for the music, Jay and Modd once again deliver an episode that's sure to resonate with metal fans of all stripes.

The group was founded by vocalist Danny Leal, who remains the central figure of the band, known for his powerful growls and charismatic stage presence.The band released their debut album, The World Is Ours, in 2010 under Sumerian Records. This album set the tone for their musical direction, featuring heavy breakdowns, aggressive riffs, and a raw intensity that resonated with fans of the genre. Songs like "Intermission" and "Scarface" showcased their ability to merge brutal metal elements with catchy hooks, setting them apart from many of their peers.In 2012, they followed up with their second album, Red. White. Green., which continued to build on their established sound. The album's themes revolved around their Mexican heritage, with songs named after famous gangsters and cultural references, such as "Sin City" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico." This unique thematic approach added a layer of depth to their music, further solidifying their identity in the metal scene.Upon a Burning Body gained wider recognition with their third album, The World Is My Enemy Now, released in 2014.

Picking up from last episode we look at the most common forms of tyranids lifeforms and their roles within an invasion force. From Ripper swarms to the Carnifex we discuss some of the more esoteric forms that have evolved from their “humble” beginnings in 2nd/3rd edition. We then explore the four great tyrannic wars that have so devastated the Imperium and the role the machiavellian Inquisitor Kryptman plays in fighting this existential terror.

Send us a Text Message.Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn In the heart of Shelby, North Carolina, emerges Filth, a deathcore powerhouse infused with hip-hop influences, poised to unleash their latest album, “Southern Hostility,” out now. Founded in 2015 by guitarist David Gantt and vocalist Dustin Mitchell, Filth began as a mere side project but swiftly evolved into a relentless force, dedicated to saturating the heavy music scene with their brand of soul-crushing brutality. Their journey gained momentum with the release of their debut EP, “Tales from the Gutter,” propelling them into a whirlwind of ferocity that only intensified with each subsequent release. Filth's reputation for raw, unbridled aggression earned them opportunities to share stages with industry heavyweights like Brand of Sacrifice, Kingdom of Giants, and Chelsea Grin, solidifying their presence as a formidable contender in the metal arena.But it's not just about the stage presence; Filth's relentless work ethic and unwavering determination have propelled them forward, igniting anticipation for their forthcoming album set to debut in Spring 2024. This latest offering promises to be their most potent yet, a sonic onslaught that pushes the boundaries of hyper-dissonant heaviness while seamlessly weaving in urban grooves, creating a musical tapestry that captivates and enraptures.Filth's trajectory shows no signs of slowing down as they embark on an extensive tour throughout 2024, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. They were recent guests on the Vulgar Display of Podcast. As the year unfolds, Filth stands poised on the precipice of greatness, fueled by their passion, dedication, and unyielding resolve. So, roll up your sleeves, brace yourself for impact, and prepare to get dirty because 2024 is shaping up to be the year of Filth as they will be touring through 2024 to support the release of “Southern Hostility.” www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

In wrapping up 2023 for the Scars and Guitars podcast, I take a closer look at the significant events and highlights defining the musical journey. Throughout the year, I attended a variety of live performances, including shows by Emperor, I Am Morbid, Incantation, Extreme, Living Colour, Hanabie, Archspire, Ingested, Triple Kill, Orpheus Omega, Halo Effect, and Misery, amongst many others. I discuss each show and summarise the performance and why it was noteworthy. The podcast featured engaging conversations with prominent figures across heavy metal and beyond. I had the pleasure of hosting many Cradle of fIlth alums: Paul Ryan, Chris Bell, Nigel Wingrove, Mike Exeter, James McIlroy, and, notably, Sarah Jezebel Deva. There were conversations with Scott Edgar from Misery, Phil Soussan, Jesper Strömblad, the Tardy brothers from Obituary, Jason Bonham, Jamie Stinson AKA Astennu, Blitz from Overkill, Mille Petrozza, David Ellefson, Marc from Metal Church, Scott from Carnifex, Dave Coutts and Mark Dunn, Eric from The Amenta, Dave Haley and many, many more. I discuss why each episode is essential. In terms of literature, my collection expanded with the addition of the Silverchair Book and Tana Douglas's roadie memoir. So I have something to say about these books. Regarding musical releases, several notable albums caught my attention. There's a summary of each, and I explain why the alums are worthy. Suffocation's "Hymns from the Apocrypha" highlighted Terrence Hobb's consistent musical prowess. Overkill's "Scorched" reaffirmed their enduring impact in the world of metal. "When Angels Kill" by Fifth Angel impressed with Ken Mary's drumming finesse. Incantation's "Unholy Deification" offered doom-tinged death metal at its best. Cadaver's "The Age of the Offended" featured a strong death metal statement with Ronni Le Tekrø. Sadus returned with "The Shadow Inside," showcasing Darren Travis's dedication. Wes Hauch's "Death is But a Door (EP)" demonstrated Wes Hauch's guitar virtuosity. Grand Cadaver's "Deities of Deathlike Sleep" delivered old-school Stockholm death metal. The Amenta's "Plague of Locus" showcased their take on classic covers. Werewolves and Faustian, featuring Matt Wilcock, offered creative and competent riff-heavy music. Additionally, I've compiled an eligibility list for future discussions, which includes Cyhra, Doro, Till the Dirt, Sylosis, Svalbard, Cryptopsy, Watain, Cavalera Brothers, Immortal, Alice Cooper, Cannibal Corpse, Shepherds Rein, Steven Wilson, AETERNUS, Aeons Abyss, Kataklysm, Ringworm, and Carnifex. In conclusion, 2023 was a year filled with remarkable music and insightful conversations about extreme music. I remain committed to providing a serious and thoughtful perspective on the genre, and I look forward to continuing this journey in the future. Thank you for being a part of the musical exploration! Have a great Christmas and even better 2024! Andrew McK.

This interview is from 9-18-23 Fred Calderon joins the podcast to talk about Carnifex ninth full-length studio album entitled "Necromanteum" out October 6th via Nuclear Blast Records and is the follow up to 2021's Graveside Confessions.

Deathcore will never die. We welcome back a seasoned frontman from one of the genre's finest, Scott Lewis of Carnifex. Now reaching 18 years of brutality, the San Diego-based outfit continues to raise the bar with their upcoming 9th album, “Necromanteum.” Scott sits with us today to talk about the band's journey and bringing that level of consistency to his musicianship.

Carnifex vocalist Scott Ian Lewis is our guest this week! We discuss their latest album Necromanteum, if he revisits the back catalog on a regular basis, the album fan's love that he isn't sold on, the therapy of heavy music for the band and fans, the importance of looking for a deeper meaning in all art, if he feels fan's are loyal to any streaming services, his thoughts on if film has lost the battle of being art, the honor code bands and fans have in the music industry not reflecting those that run it, companies with the most power continually running at a loss, and why unionizing the music industry may not be possible in modern times. Petar and Brandon discuss the whirlwind of Chris McMahon getting let go by Thy Art Is Murder, how he found out he was no longer in the band, certain peers like Ronnie Radke taking sides with him, and our thoughts on how the split was handled.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode we finally got answers about the mysterious disappearance of a child on the outskirts of Carnifex Land that Magpie had a vision about in Book 2 – Wingspan.In today's episode we read the chapter 34 – Shelta – in which Farfalla has an unexpected encounter that will stop her in her tracks.

Paranormal exposed takes a look at eerie and unexplained events from a sceptic's point of view. Be sure to check the show notes for a link to their show.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.She stopped asking for her parents after a few weeks.The first morning she woke up whimpering a bit, but I had Ru take her for a stroll and the distraction was just what she needed. I provided more sweets and a warm meal, then sang her to sleep. The second morning she woke up crying again. This time, I coaxed a rabbit into her tent. She couldn't resist the soft, sweet creature, and spent the rest of the week cuddling and talking to it. Things kept on like this for a while. Luckily, I had several tricks up my sleeve. Eventually, she grew attached to me. I rocked her to sleep most nights and sang her Audrey Tourtereaux's French lullaby. When she grew older, I taught her to cook, to sew, to build a shelter, cut firewood... Things I felt she would need in life. She made the most beautiful dresses and coats and became quite adept at foraging for food and creating delicious meals for us. The years went by in the blink of an eye. Before I realized what was happening, she became a teenager. I didn't want to admit to myself that it would soon be time to let her go. I had grown to love her almost like a daughter. But I would often find her pining for love, companionship, and peers her own age. It wasn't fair for me to deny her that joy. I questioned myself daily whether the time was right, then one day fate stepped in.We were walking along the beach. I stopped to look out at the ocean, my mind always turning to Elisabeth. Shelta continued on, collecting seashells into her hand-woven basket. She had taken to making jewelry out of them. I stared at the rolling waves, dipping my toe in the sea, hoping those specific drops of water would someday grace the shores on the other side of the world where, perhaps, Elisabeth would encounter them. Suddenly, Shelta cut into my daydream with an excited shout. “Look! Look what I found!” she called, waving her arms at me. My heart stopped when the object in the sand came into view. All these years later… The Skylark Bell. Shelta picked it up and turned it over in her hands. I stood frozen in shock. Of course, I still have the bell I created during my time at the druid encampment. The one whose powers were forged that fateful night when the tribe was decimated and the Ancient Oak was burned, but I never expected to see this bell again, the one that flew off the cliff with me that day, then sank with me into the sand at the bottom of the ocean before slipping out of my hands.“How old do you think it is?” Shelta had asked, her voice filled with enthusiasm. I told her it looked like an ancient artifact, perhaps even from Druid times. I knew then what I needed to do. The bell would protect her. It was time to let her go. The process was gradual. I cautiously guided her to places and times where she would encounter the right kind of people so she could reenter the world. Finally, one day she announced she had met a man who owned an antique shop and they had fallen in love.I wouldn't see Shelta again for years.There were others. Many others. I found some at the beach, some in the fields, some by the woods… Each one plucked from a different time then returned to a time other than their own so as to keep my mystique intact, but always ensuring they would continue their lives safe and happy. After Shelta, I crafted a special elixir that I would administer on the children's last day with me, so they would forget our time together. The last vanishing was Charlie. He was a friend of the boy who lived at Carnifex house, the caretakers' son. After Charlie left, I took a break. I hadn't found myself alone for several years, and I took some time to revisit my life. My thoughts always went first to Elisabeth, then to Marius. I bathed in it for years, the endless circle of Elisabeth and Marius, love and broken hearts.Then one day, I saw him.~~~~~~Farfalla stands frozen in place at the edge of the woods. She blinks several times, unable to believe her eyes. Walking through the fields of Carnifex House on the back of a black horse with a white mane and tail is Marius. She watches as he awkwardly coaxes the huge animal in figure eights, then practices stopping and going a few times. Eventually, he turns and heads back toward the paddock. Farfalla stays at her post until darkness sets in, unable to comprehend what she has just seen. How could Marius be here? Now?! Marius would be 120 years old by now, the scene she witnessed today is an impossible one!Farfalla spends the next few days observing the Carnifex fields from the edge of the forest. Sure enough, she sees Marius and Cormorant riding through the tall grass, the wind blowing those familiar dark curls. She's run her fingers through that hair countless times, she would recognize it anywhere. On the fifth day Farfalla sees something that makes her heart sink. Once again, she sees Marius and Cormorant, but this time they are accompanied by a woman on a dark bay mare. As the woman approaches, Farfalla's breath catches in her throat. It's almost as though she is staring at a younger version of herself. She watches as they talk and laugh. She sees the way he looks at the woman, the depth of his love for her is evident. On the breeze she hears the woman call him Lucas, and her brow furrows. She's certain she is looking at the same man, and not a descendant or relative. Why is this woman calling him Lucas? A moment later he responds by calling the woman's name. Magpie… Each echo of the word inside Farfalla's head feels like a nail being hammered into her heart. Magpie. The very first time they met, when he glanced up and saw her in the apple tree, the first word out of his mouth was Magpie. Now Farfalla understands why. He thought she was this woman. A wave of painful comprehension washes over Farfalla. Marius hasn't met her yet. Somehow, some way, he will time travel back to her youth and they will meet and fall in love. Then he will disappear. But… perhaps it doesn't have to be this way! Perhaps she can change things. Farfalla turns and walks swiftly back to her forest home, ready to set her plan in motion. She keeps an eye on him from a distance, waiting for the right moment. Finally, one day she hears him tell Magpie he and Cormorant are going for a long ride. Farfalla ponders how she can possibly send Marius to 1920s Pocket. It dawns on her suddenly that she needs the Skylark Bell. Not hers, but the old one, the one Shelta found on the beach. Shelta's husband passed away shortly after they married, but she has carried on with the daily task of running the antique shop. Shelta is an old woman now, and she is startled when she sees Farfalla looking the same as she did decades ago. Farfalla strikes a deal with her; Shelta will receive a trunk full of antiques and relics, and in exchange she is to give the Skylark Bell to the young man with the dark curly hair. Shelta agrees with little hesitation, she still feels a deep nostalgia about her time with Farfalla despite all the years they've spent apart, and the additional merchandise will help her shop stay afloat.The first part of her plan put in place, Farfalla heads back to the forest to speak to Ru. She instructs him to lead Marius into the forest. She will take care of the rest. Farfalla is on pins and needles the rest of the day. Finally, the sun begins to set, and she watches from a distance as Marius walks into the antique shop. He exits quite some time later, and he and Cormorant begin ascending the winding hill that leads to the top of the cliff above Pòcaid. Ru races onto the road as instructed, and Marius follows him back into the woods. Now it is Farfalla who has a role to play. She follows Marius and Cormorant as they walk the winding path in the woods. Finally, they come to the arch. She sees him hesitate, but he eventually moves forward. Farfalla waits for the precise moment Marius and Cormorant are under the arch then begins to sing the song of the Oak Tree. She watches as he looks around, an expression of uncertainty on his face. The breeze picks up, swinging the trinkets she attached to the arch back and forth. The metal spoons, cups and bells collide and create a cacophonous symphony. Farfalla begins to sing more loudly, and she feels the elements shift. She sees Marius squeeze his eyes shut before, just a moment later, he simply disappears.Farfalla heaves a sigh of relief. Now the next step is to warn her younger self, to prevent Marius from ever disappearing. She isn't entirely sure how to go about it, but she will find a way.She and Marius will be together, no matter what it takes.Thank you so much for listening. Join me next week for Chapter 35 – Roadblocks – in which Farfalla learns that her powers as Dealan-dè have limits.The Skylark Bell is brought to you by Phaeton Starling Publishing and features original music by Cannelle.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode we learned that Farfalla was the voice inside the Ancient Oak, which also left her transformed into Dealan-dè.In today's episode we read the chapter 30 – Back to the Cliffside – in which Faralla travels back to a pivotal point in her life.Today's podcast partner is Murder Roadtrip, also members of the Boopod Network of paranormal and true crime podcasts. This podcast takes listeners on a weekly roadtrip across the US to discuss true crime and the occasional spooks through each of the 50 States. Check the show notes for a link to the Murder Roadtrip podcast.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.I am trapped in a tree.How did I go from a blissful childhood of running through fields, to living with half of me eternally trapped in a tree? It sounds completely preposterous when I spell it out like this. They all knew. They all knew this would be my fate, and none of them stopped it. Did you know too?I wandered aimlessly after that encounter with Cailleach. Finally, I picked up the bell, and laid a hand on the Ancient Oak. My prison. The process of travelling to a different time is much faster and easier than before, perhaps because it is only my consciousness that is travelling now. However, this also means I cannot live, love, and interact with people the way I did when I was a complete person. I came to this heart-wrenching realisation when I, at long last, managed to peek in on Elisabeth. I only did so one time. She was sitting in a rocking chair in Paloma's old apartment in the city, which she presumably inherited. She was holding the tiniest baby, a girl. I heard her speak softly and lovingly to her baby, Lilian. My heart broke over and over watching them, knowing I couldn't speak to her, or hold her, or meet my grandchild. I suffered through a few hours of wistful observation, the made my private, silent goodbyes before leaving them.I stand here now with the arch above my head, struggling to understand. Am I still inside the wood from which it is built? I didn't see my body when the trunk of the tree split. Where am I? Have I died? Am I a ghost? I don't understand. Perhaps I am not meant to. I have these amazing, superhuman abilities now, I can control the elements, travel through time, speak to plants and animals. But I have paid dearly for these gifts. I have lost everything I ever loved, I have been betrayed time and time and time again. Betrayed by people, betrayed by time itself. And if I have understood correctly, this will happen to me again, and again, in a cruel, endless loop.The Ouroboros.Someone has to pay.~~~~~~Farfalla takes a moment to adjust to the darkness of her surroundings. Is it night already? She wonders. She looks around. The Ancient Oak is gone, in its place she sees the gateway arching over her head. The clearing is also gone, and she is standing on a narrow path deep in the forest. Of course! The acorns she planted have grown into trees, they look like they are hundreds of years old. The canopy formed by their leaves filters out most of the daylight.Farfalla tentatively steps out from under the arch, unsure which direction to go. The sound of cracking twigs nearby causes her to spin around quickly. “Ru!” she gushes as the deer steps out from under the arch and walks up to her. “I'm so happy to see you,” she whispers. Farfalla throws her arms around its neck and leans her head on it. “I don't recognize the forest anymore,” she whispers into its soft fur.“I can show you the way,” Ru's words echo in her mind. Farfalla leans back and nods, thankful to have a friend in this strange time. Ru walks in front of her, and Farfalla follows. The path winds and twists through the forest and they walk for what feels like hours before finally stepping into the light of day. Farfalla gasps as she recognizes the scene before her. Stretching as far as the eye can see are fields, and in the distance, the outline of Carnifex House. To her right is the large rock that separates Carnifex land from the neighbouring farm. “This is where I leave you,” Ru's voice shaking her out of her shock, “but you may call on me any time,” he adds. Farfalla lays a grateful hand on the animal's cheek, then steps back as it turns and gracefully runs back into the forest.“Hullo,” says a small, familiar voice. Farfalla turns to see the small boy with the large blue eyes peeking from behind the rock. “Hello, Ash,” she says.The little boy's eyes widen in shock. “How do you know my name?!” he asks.“I heard your father call you at the cliffside,” she says. Farfalla takes the boy's furrowed brow and look of confusion to mean this is the first time he has met her. “I am…” Farfalla considers which name she should provide, but decides on her most recent one, “Dealan-dè”.“Pleasure to meet you,” says the boy, a slightly nervous edge to his voice. He's a sweet boy. How such a sweet boy could come from such a horrible man as his father I will never know, thinks Farfalla.“Well, I must be on my way now,” says Farfalla, smiling. “We'll meet again,” she adds, turning to look over her shoulder before wandering back into the forest. “You shouldn't go in the forest,” says the boy.“Whyever not?” asks Farfalla, slightly amused. “Because of the vanishings,” he says, “people go in there and never come out,” he adds.“Do they now?” she says, “well, I know for a fact that I will return. You'll see,” she lets the words trail behind her as she walks into the shadows cast by the trees. Behind her she hears the boy's footsteps as he races through the tall grass as fast as his little legs will take him.The fear in the boy's voice sparked something in her. Fear. She has felt it so many times now. In the water when the boat fell to pieces. As she was being thrown off the cliff. As the Ancient Oak was being lit on fire. As the tree regrew around her, keeping her trapped inside. It is time for other people to feel fear. If they fear the vanishings, then she will make them happen. Now Farfalla knows what she must do. Now she has a plan. She will go to the cliffside.Everything looks essentially the same when Farfalla opens her eyes and steps out from under the arch. She expertly navigates the path Ru showed her just yesterday, somehow having mapped it in her mind. She steps out of the forest and, sure enough, she sees the crowd gathered up ahead. She quickly steps behind the large rock so as not to be seen. “Alright, then the accused is found guilty. Take her to the cliffside!” she hears Mayor Sandpiper shout triumphantly. She watches as lifts Ash into his arms. The boy looks in her direction, then nods to someone in the crowd. Farfalla scans the crowd and sees herself, her younger self, hands tied behind her back with a gag tied around her head, and she feels equal parts sadness and rage. Her younger self turns to look, and they make eye contact. Farfalla quickly disappears into the forest to compose herself. This is harder than she thought it would be.“I need to go to the cliffside,” she whispers to herself. “I will walk with you,” she hears Ru's voice enter her mind. A sigh of relief escapes her lips as Ru appears by her side. They walk together, just inside the limits of the forest. Farfalla can hear the sound of the crowd as she and Ru approach the cliff.“Any last words, Siren?” She hears Mayor Sandpiper's arrogant question and recalls the joy on his face in that moment. She remembers her final words to him, telling him to hold his son close that night, and how she had struck him where it hurt.Farfalla steps out of the forest then, and stands just under the jutting branch of an oak tree. Her younger self makes eye contact, and Farfalla nods. “It will be okay,” she whispers. There is no way the softly spoken words can reach the ears of her younger self over this distance, but she remembers somehow hearing them nonetheless, and the words had brought her comfort.“Sink the siren!” comes a shout from the crowd. Farfalla looks on, the most comforting smile she can muster spread across her face. The chant from the crowd grows louder, and she hears the mayor instruct the men to do it. She watches as they push her younger self off the edge of the cliff and her breath catches in her throat. It takes everything in her power not to shout. She remembers the freefall, and looking up at the mayor's gleeful face, and speaking his son's name. The last word off her lips. Ash.Farfalla steps back into the woods where Ru is patiently waiting. “Let's take a walk,” she says, her heart heavy. They wander aimlessly until nightfall. Then, Farfalla walks in the darkness to the caretaker's cottage. She lets herself in and prepares some food. She wanders around the space that had been hers all those years ago, the space form which she was ungraciously pulled and tossed away. In the bedroom, she finds her chain, the one Paloma had given her, with the tree charm on it. The feather ring and key from Marius are both still looped onto it as well. Farfalla picks it up and clips it around her neck. “This is mine,” she says out loud, asserting herself. These are the last remnants of her old life, her real life. The only items that have survived this inexplicable cycle of endings and beginnings.Thank you so much for listening. Join me next week for Chapter 31 – Skipping Stones – in which Farfalla begins to devise a plan for revenge.The Skylark Bell is brought to you by Phaeton Starling Publishing and features original music by Cannelle.

This week is a special one. Not only am I inviting my friend and brother, Shayan of Trivax, back to the podcast for an unprecedented sixth time, but this episode also marks our first ever face-to-face conversation. We run a spicy gauntlet of topics including fitness, mental health, the state of the society and of course Trivax's excellent upcoming album, “Eloah Burns Out”.Then it's on to a discussion about some of my favourite releases of the past couple of weeks, including albums by Drugoth, Blut Aus Nord Incantation and Unblessed Divine. And on my weekly news rant, I'm rounding up the latest singles by Carnifex, Hippie Death Cult, October Tide and others for judgment, as well as sharing another list of underrated gems from the 2000s that you need to re-visit.

Our main feature this week is The Breach. We're also reviewing The Last Voyage of the Demeter, You're Killing Me, Renfield, Carnifex, The Banshee Chapter, Deadware, M3gan, and To the Devil, A Cryptid by Hunter Shea.
The trigger for the discussion with Scott from Carnifex is their ninth studio album, Necromanteum, set to release on October 6 2023, through Nuclear Blast Records. While we do delve into the album's creation, the conversation is notable through its exploration of the prevalent woke and socialist ideologies that are widespread across the Western hemisphere.
SIGNS OF THE SWARM, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an American deathcore band that came together in 2014. The group is made up of drummer Bobby Crow, vocalist David Simonich, guitarist Carl Schulz, and bassist Michael Cassese. Over the years, they have delivered four compelling studio albums, with their bludgeoning fifth album, titled "Amongst the Low & Empty," hitting shelves on July 28, 2023, via Century Media Records. In the podcast, David discusses the band's being signed by Century Media, the personal pain and struggles which fueled some of the album's brutal tracks, the upcoming tour with CARNIFEX and much more. Formed in 2004 in Huddersfield, England, EVILE is a prominent thrash metal band with a rich history of line-up changes. Amidst these shifts, drummer Ben Carter has been the sole constant member from the original formation. Presently, the band's lineup includes Carter, the talented lead guitarist and vocalist Ol Drake, bassist Joel Graham, and rhythm guitarist Adam Smith, who took over from Ol Drake's older brother Matt in 2020. EVILE holds a significant place in the thrash metal resurgence of the mid-to-late 2000s, earning high praise from Kerrang! for shouldering the genre's revival. Their impressive discography boasts six studio albums: "Enter the Grave" (2007), "Infected Nations" (2009), "Five Serpent's Teeth" (2011), "Skull" (2013), "Hell Unleashed" (2021), and the recently released "The Unknown" (2023). During the second part of the show, Ol Drake joins us to discuss their latest LP "The Unknown", working with famed METALLICA producer Flemming Rasmussen and the significance of thrash metal as a genre.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla began to embrace her new role and status within the ancient forest group. She was also introduced to the Ancient Oak, a tree reminiscent of The Oak at Meadow Lane.In today's episode we read the chapter 25 – A Chaotic Swirl of a Dream – in which Farfalla has a dream with kaleidoscopic images of her past, present, and future.Today's podcast partner is Generally Spooky, also a member of The Boopod Network! If you're interested in learning about the often spooky and haunting history of Scotland, you won't want to miss this one! Hosts Eilidh and Kieran sprinkle just the right amount of humour in each episode. Just check the show notes for a link to the Generally Spooky podcast. Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.The instructions came so clearly, like a conversation with a trusted teacher. A friend. A confidant. The Ancient Oak wanted something, something quite simple and small, the size of an acorn, and I have been given something invaluable in return: Instructions on how to make the Skylark Bell. I will need the entire tribe to help me. I've noticed a change in them, ever since they realized I can communicate with the Ancient Oak. They have always revered oak trees, and cohabitated with nature, even gotten animals to do their bidding, but they have never had the capacity for this two-way communication like I have. I have no explanation for it, this ability, but I know one thing: It has put me into a position of power.~~~~~~The man with the long dark beard stands on the beach, his arms bent at the elbow resting on his hips. He is squinting at the image Farfalla has drawn in the sand with a stick. Farfalla has been living with the tribe for nearly three years now, but her grasp of their complex language is still very loose, so she has taken to drawing out her instructions.“Corbin,” she says, turning to the man, “can you do this?” she stumbles through the words in his language. The man turns to her and nods, smiling with pride. He is an expert at shaping and engraving metals, he is essential to her plan. The matter settled; they amble back up the beach. On a whim, Farfalla picks a violet and hands it to him. “Thank you,” she says, “tapadh leat (TAW-pa-latt)”. He smiles at her and holds his hand out. She grasps it shyly and lets him guide her up the steep embankment back toward the forest.Farfalla never thought she would open her heart up again, but loneliness has gotten the better of her. She and Corbin, despite their limited communication, have become quite friendly over the years. It has taken her some time to gather full instructions from the Ancient Oak, but at last it is time to make the bell. Corbin will forge and engrave it, then there will be a ceremony with fire, tinctures, herbs, song, and dance, then the bell will be complete. Farfalla's deepest wish is to use it to return to her beloved Elisabeth.Farfalla lays a kiss on Corbin's cheek as they part ways. He heads to his tent to begin his work, and Farfalla lets herself into Cailleach's tent. Cailleach has been unwell for several weeks and Farfalla has been caring for her. “How are you feeling today?” she asks cheerfully as she prepares some herbal tea with the hot water from the kettle she grabbed out of the community fire.“I'm tired, but there's still life in me,” says Cailleach, her parched lips parting into a smile. Farfalla helps the old woman sit up in her cot then hands her the steaming concoction.“Thistle.... Bog Myrtle, Heather… and something else, I can't quite decipher,” says Cailleach as she inhales the steam swirling out of her cup.“Oak bark,” says Farfalla, smiling. “Don't worry, I asked for permission before taking some,” she adds with a wink. “Corbin is going to start making the bell today,” she says, changing the topic. Cailleach nods, a faraway look in her eye. “What is it Cailleach? You seem concerned…” she notes.Cailleach shakes her head, her silver crown of curls brushing back and forth over her shoulders. “Nothing to trouble you with at this time,” she says.“You seem to know so much more about me, about everything, than you let on. Is there a reason you won't tell me?” Farfalla presses on.“I believe your future is fluid. I don't think you are constrained to living it as you have before. That is why I tell you nothing of it, so you can make your own choices, forge your own path. I am hopeful that this time…” Cailleach lets the thought trail off. Farfalla doesn't respond, but let's Cailleach's last word resonate around the tent. This time… Farfalla helps Cailleach lay back down and stands guard until the old woman is asleep. She then grabs the kettle before she slips out of the tent. Farfalla fills the kettle with water then hangs it back on the rod that stretches across the fire. It is dusk, and there is a cool edge to the breeze to indicate the end of summer. It seems like only yesterday they were celebrating the arrival of spring. Farfalla walks to the edge of the clearing and sees the red deer standing by, waiting for her. They've gotten into the habit of walking through the woods and watching the moonrise by the rock near what would eventually be the Carnifex property.“Hello Ru!” She whispers, running her hand over the soft red fur for which she gave the animal its name. “Are you ready for our walk?” The deer takes a step forward, and they head off into the forest. The walk the familiar paths side by side with Farfalla chattering about her conversation with the Ancient Oak and her preparations for the making of the Skylark Bell. Finally, the come to the edge of the forest, and stand next to the ancient stone that will one day serve as a marker between the fields of Carnifex House and the neighbouring farm. Farfalla leans on the rock and watches the moon rise. It is almost full, only the slimmest shred of it remaining unlit. They stand for the better part of an hour, silent, basking in the silvery moonlight, before turning and walking back through the forest to the encampment. The deer stops short of the clearing and Farfalla says her goodbyes before continuing on by herself. She lets herself into her tent and collapses onto her straw bed, exhausted.Farfalla has only been asleep for an hour or so when the dream begins. At first, it is the familiar dream where she is under water, sinking into the sand with the sun's rays filtering through the water above her head before everything goes dark. This time though, she sees Marius' face as he reaches down to pull her from the water. She collapses into his arms and he pulls her up the beach into the tall, dry grass beyond. Suddenly, they are at Meadow Lane. Farfalla turns to Marius and watches in horror as he slowly transforms into a Magpie, stretching his black and white wings before lifting off into the sky. She watches until he disappears, then turns when she feels a presence by her side. There is James, a look of pain and disappointment on his face. He leans toward her lets out a loud, accusatory Caw! Before vanishing into thin air. Farfalla recoils in fear and squeezes her eyes closed. When she reopens them, she is inside the house at Meadow Lane, staring into the mirror of the vanity in her bedroom. She sees a girl there who looks very much like her, but is dressed oddly, and going on about The Silence. The girl fades away and Farfalla sees the forest reflected in the mirror. She turns on her stool and sees the winding path through the woods ahead of her and Ru standing proudly, head held high with his crown of antlers reaching for the canopy of leaves above. She walks to the deer, and they begin to amble down the path. As they are walking Farfalla gets the feeling the deer has gotten larger, she turns to look and gasps when she sees Cormorant by her side, his dark coat blending with the shadows of the forest while his white mane and tail look like they are glowing from the inside. The massive horse stops short of the clearing and Farfalla looks on in horror; the Ancient Oak is engulfed in flames from top to bottom. The loud crackling noise reminds her of the sound as the trees from her beloved apple orchard were burned in the fireplace during the terrible winter of 1925. Farfalla can feel the acrid smoke filling her lungs and wakes up coughing and heaving for air. She sits up in bed, and it takes her a moment to remember where she is. She shakes off the sensation of being disoriented and fills her cup with water from the jug by her bed. She runs through the various chaotically swirling elements of the dream in her mind. Water, fire, deer, horse, magpie, Marius, James, the Ancient Oak. She feels like there is a warning in it all, but she can't quite decipher it. Exhausted, Farfalla lays back down. Tomorrow is an important day, tomorrow the bell will be finished. Farfalla closes her eyes and falls into a long, dreamless sleep. Thank you so much for listening. Join me next week for Chapter 26 – The Making of a Bell – in which Farfalla uses the instuctions from the Ancient Oak to create the Skylark Bell.The Skylark Bell is brought to you by Phaeton Starling Publishing and features original music by Cannelle.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla used her control over a Sea Bird to send Nurse Betsey over the edge of a cliff.In today's episode we read the chapter 22 – Trial by Water – in which Farfalla's actions catch up with her.Today's podcast partner is fellow Boopod Network member Paranormal Exposed – you may recognize the name from our past collaboration about haunted objects released for Halloween of 2022. Paranormal exposed takes a look at eerie and unexplained events from a sceptic's point of view. Be sure to check the show notes for a link to their show.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.November 1st, 1799I felt a rush. Like a gust of wind rushing through my body.Not just because I succeeded in ridding the children of Nurse Betsey, but because I realized that I have the ability to make both people and animals to do my bidding. That feeling when the seabird flew, full force, in the direction of my pointing finger, having immediately heeded my command… It thrilled me!After I left the cliffside I went to find the children. First, I found Felix hiding behind the horse shelter, a favourite hiding spot of his. Then we made our way back toward Carnifex House where we found Frannie sitting in the grass near the back door. She seemed somewhat out of sorts, very quiet, perhaps because I took so long to find them, or maybe she was simply tired from outdoor play all afternoon. Felix asked where Nurse Betsey was, and I told him she had been called to fulfill another task. I could have sworn I saw Frannie bristle at my words, but it was probably just my imagination.We enjoyed a lovely dinner after which I came back to the sweet solace of the caretaker's cottage. I have found peace here. Perhaps, if I am honest with myself, I could even find joy here.Yesterday I did not get a chance to see the children as I was called out to perform for a family across the island whose child had fallen out of a tree and lay unconscious. I sang for them, but the child did not wake. The parents began to fret, so I sang them to sleep instead, then let myself out.Now I am sitting at my desk looking out the back window at the vast expanse of the ocean. Somewhere on the other side, in another time, is my darling Elisabeth…~~~~~~The sound of fists banging on the door of the caretaker's cottage startles Farfalla, sending a streak of ink across the page. She looks down at it, furrows her brown, rips the page out of her book and throws it into the fireplace. The banging strikes again, even more persistent than the first time. Farfalla marches across the room, ready to give a piece of her mind to the person on the other side. She swings the door open and freezes in her tracks, mouth agape. On the other side of her door is a crowd of people, led by a man she vaguely recognizes but can't quite place. “May I help you?” she says, swallowing the annoyance threatening to spill into her voice.“Take her,” he says simply, nodding his head in Farfalla's direction. Before Farfalla has time to react two large men with bulging arms grab her and bind her wrists behind her back.“What in the world-?!” She exclaims as the men pull her out the front door of her house. She whips her head around frantically. What is happening? In the crowd she sees Donald and Isabella Carnifex, the children peeking from behind their legs. Farfalla zeroes in on Frannie's tear-stained face. “Frannie!” she calls, desperately, “Isabella! What is happening?!” “Better to gag her, ‘case she tries to sing the lot of us off the edge of a cliff!” says the man who appears to be their leader. Farfalla feels a wave of shock, fear, and nausea wash over her. They know. But… how?! Before she can say another word a dirty, foul-tasting strip of fabric is strung across her mouth and tied tightly to the back of her head, then she is pulled forcefully across the grass and thrown into a horse cart. She lands with a thud and searing pain pulses through her right shoulder.“Not so high n' mighty now, are ye?” says a familiar voice. Farfalla shuffles her body around so she can turn and look at the driver's seat of the cart. Looking down at her smugly is Agnes Sutherland, her husband John sitting next to her facing forward, his back rigid.“Take them to the clearing,” says the man who just a moment ago had been banging on her door. The cart pulls away, and Farfalla turns over so she can stare at the sky as they travel for what feels like an eternity. She notes the perfect shade of blue, and the bright white of the contrasting clouds. Such a beautiful day. Finally, the cart comes to a stop, and she is lifted out and dragged across a field of stubbly, dry grass and thrown to the ground in the middle of a circle formed by most of the people she'd encountered since her arrival in this place, this time. She awkwardly gets to her feet and slowly turns, taking in every face. She sees the Brackenridge family, whose daughter Elisabeth was the first one Farfalla sang for. Next to them are other families for whom she performed over the years. She sees the Carnifex family again, and near them the man who appeared to be the leader of this witch hunt. Next to him, Farfalla recognizes the small boy with the large blue eyes who had approached her on the beach a few months ago. He had said his father was the mayor. This realization sends Farfalla's heart pounding. The mayor has spearheaded this arrest, and all these people are here for some sort of trial.“I, Stuart Malcolm Sandpiper, Mayor of the town of Pòcaid, proclaim this trial to be open and call our first witness, Miss Frances Annabel Carnifex,” says the man, puffing out his chest like a bird. Isabella Carnifex pushes Frannie into the circle, nodding at her to keep moving when the small girl looks back at her in fear. “Now Frannie, you told your parents that you saw Ms. Skye with Nurse Betsey two days ago, standing near a cliff. Can you tell us what happened?” says Mayor Sandpiper, looking down at Frannie from his towering height. Frannie sniffles, looks at the ground, and nods her head. “Go on dear, tell everyone what you saw,” he prods.Frannie takes a deep breath and looks at Farfalla, devastation in her eyes. “I heard Ms. Skye singing. She sings real' pretty! I saw Nurse Betsey walking, she looked like she was asleep, but her eyes were open. Nurse Betsey got real close to the edge of the cliff and I got scared she would fall, but she turned around at the last momet,” says Frannie, her little voice shaking. There is a long pause before the mayor prompts her to continue. “Then a sea bird landed on the rock that I was hiding behind, and Ms. Skye looked at the bird, and pointed at Nurse Betsey and told the bird to fly. Then the bird flew at Nurse Betsey, and she fell off the cliff.” Frannie begins to cry, and tries to continue between heaving sobs, “Nurse Betsey was so mean to us, Felix and I, Ms. Skye was only trying to help, she would never hurt anyone!” “That's quite enough!” says Donald Carnifex, marching over to his daughter, now a hapless heap on the ground, and carrying her back to the edge of the circle.Farfalla can feel tears streaming down her cheeks as guilt takes a grip of her heart. Frannie had been there, she had seen the whole thing. Farfalla's guilt is quickly replaced with anger. I did it to help you! she thinks. She and the children were close, especially Frannie, and this ultimate betrayal brings back the feeling of rage she felt when the people of Pocket accused her of placing a curse on Meadow Lane.“Next, we have several witnesses who can attest to the fact that Ms. Skye's healing powers are not what they seem,” continues Mayor Sandpiper. One after the other, several people she had been called to perform for testified that their loved ones didn't heal, and in some cases that their loved ones had died. Of course they did! Thinks Farfalla They needed medical attention, not singing! Finally, a man she recognizes as the butler for the house where she hypnotized the woman into taking laudanum claims he heard her singing and saw the lady of the house walk into the kitchen in a daze and pour a hefty serving of laudanum in her tea, all while “the selkie”, as he called Farfalla, was singing in her ear.“People of Pòcaid, the evidence has been laid out before you. I believe there is no doubt as to the accused's guilt. The Sutherlands claimed to have found a Selkie, when in reality they brought us a Siren!” At this, a collective gasp escapes from the crowd. A few of the townspeople edge closer to Farfalla to get a better look. Suddenly, Farfalla feels a tug on the bottom of her dress. She looks down to see Frannie's little tear-stained face looking up at her. “I'm so sorry Ms. Skye, I didn't know…” she begins. Farfalla does her best to nod. “Here,” says Frannie, slipping something into Farfalla's bound hands, “Felix snuck this out of Agnes Sutherland's pocket. He's quite good at doing that,” says Frannie. Farfalla holds the object in her hands and feels around. She feels grief and relief hit her all at once. Frannie has handed her The Skylark Bell. “I remember you told me about your bell, and how special it is. Then one day I heard Mrs. Sutherland bragging that she had taken it from you.” Tears slip out of Farfalla's eyes. She does her best to convey her gratitude to Frannie.“Is there anyone who wants to speak on behalf of the accused?” shouts Mayor Sandpiper. Farfalla turns her head back toward him, then looks hopelessly around at the townspeople. Surely one of them will speak up! What about Margaret Brackenridge? She had improved after Farfalla's visit! As had dozens of others! She had helped them, and now they were forsaking her! A silence hangs over the clearing, and Farfalla can feel her heart beating faster and harder with every second. Her fear is quickly replaced by seething rage. How dare they?! How dare they use her for their own benefit and then throw her away like a ragdoll? Nurse Betsey was an evil, horrible person! Didn't that count for something? “Alright, then the accused is found guilty. Take her to the cliffside!” shouts Mayor Sandpiper triumphantly. He lifts his son, the boy from the beach, into his arms. The boy makes eye contact with Farfalla and nods his head toward the edge of the forest where a large stone stands to delineate between two fields. Farfalla turns her head to look and gasps through the fabric in her mouth. Standing by the rock, a sad, sympathetic look on her face, is the woman Farfalla had seen years ago at boarding school. Farfalla blinks in disbelief, and when she reopens her eyes, the woman is gone. The two large men who had hauled her out of her house earlier this morning now grasp her arms again, and drag her across the clearing to the cart, her bare feet scraping across the dry, stubbly grass. She is once again. thrown into the back of the cart, exacerbating the pain in her shoulder. This time Agnes doesn't bother to look down at her, and the cart takes off. Farfalla painfully shifts her body into a sitting position. She looks down at the bottom of her white dress, covered in blood from the scratches on her feet. How can this be happening? Everyone in town loved her! I am the Skye Lark Belle! She thinks, confusion, disbelieve and devastation swirling through her mind. She turns to look behind the cart and sees a parade of people following behind.“Sink the siren!” shouts Mayor Sandpiper, his son now sitting atop his shoulders.“Sink the siren!” chants the crowd. “Sink the siren!” shouts the mayor, and the crowd responds. Their chants grow louder and faster until the cart comes to an abrupt stop at the top of the cliff. The mayor lifts the boy off his shoulders and gently sets him on the ground, ruffling his hair. “You stay here, Ash, there's a good boy,” he says before taking long strides across the cliff top. The two large men lift Farfalla out of the cart and hold her there, awaiting further instruction. She looks down at the boy, who takes a step closer to her. “Don't worry,” he whispers, “you'll be back.” Farfalla's brow furrows, but she is pulled away before the boy can say anything more. She looks up to see the mayor gleefully gesturing toward the edge of the cliff. The villagers follow closely behind, resuming their chant of “sink the siren”.Farfalla can feel the cold sea air pick up as they near the edge of the cliff and a shiver runs through her. It is November, and she is barefoot in a light cotton gown, not at all fit for the weather. She can hear the waves crashing below, and gets a sinking feeling as understanding comes to her. A bitter laugh escapes her throat and catches in the rank fabric in her mouth. They're going to throw me back in the water, back to where I came from, she thinks. All those years of having the same dream, what are the odds it would come true... twice?!Agnes Sutherland steps forward and hands something to Mayor Sandpiper. He turns and Farfalla can see the silver crown of twigs and vines in his hand. He plops it on top of her head, twisting it around so it tangles in her hair, then roughly pulls the gag form her mouth. “Any last words, Siren?” his tone is dripping with arrogance, he is thoroughly enjoying this. “I suggest you hold your son very close tonight,” whispers Farfalla, defiantly meeting his gaze. The mayor takes a step back, clearly shaken, and nods to the two large men, ever at the ready to do his bidding. The men grasp her shoulders and turn her around to face the crowd. Farfalla's eyes search the crowd for a friendly face; Frannie, or even the boy from the beach. The children are nowhere to be found, but at the back of the crowd, sheltered by the shadow of an oak tree, she sees the woman with the long red hair, the one who looks just like her. The woman nods at her. It will be okay. Farfalla can't hear her, but the thought enters her mind none the less. “Sink the siren!” comes a shout from the crowd. The woman's unwavering gaze and sad, but comforting smile, never leave Farfalla. The chant from the crowd grows louder, and she hears the mayor instruct the men to do it. She clutches the bell tightly in her bound hands and closes her eyes. She feels the force of their push and then an eternity of nothing but rushing air. She can feel her hair blowing violently around her face, tangling even more into the twigs of the silver crown, and her dress billowing, dampened by the mist lifting from the crashing waves below. She opens her eyes at the last second, and sees the mayor looking over the edge of the cliff above her, a smug smile of satisfaction pasted on his pale face. The last word out of her mouth as her body crashes through the surface of the water is “Ash”.Thank you so much for listening.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla became aware of Nurse Betsey's cruelty toward the Carnifex children.In today's episode we read the chapter 21 – Sea Bird – in which Farfalla uses new found skills to avenge the children.Today's podcast partner is Mums Mysteries and Murder, proud members of the boopod network of true crime and paranormal podcasts.

I will sing.I've spent the last few weeks trying to find a way to rid the children of Nurse Betsey. I have watched as she has antagonized them and punished them without merit. She is cunning, always reserving her true self for moments when Mr. and Mrs. Carnifex are not present to witness her cruelty. In their presence she is every bit the perfect nanny, which has made it difficult for me to put an end to her twisted game. I tried speaking to them, gently guiding the conversation toward her behaviour, but the idea that Nurse Betsey was anything but perfect was so foreign to them that they wouldn't even entertain it. I then attempted to speak directly to Betsey, but unlike most of the people in the village, she neither fears nor respects me. She laughed and told me the children were lying, and that she would “have a word with them about all this!”. My attempt at an intervention cost each of them a spanking.I have spent sleepless nights trying to concoct a plan to get her out of their lives, trying to spend as many of my days with them as possible. Then, last night I was called to “perform” for a family on the other side of the island. The father was in bad shape, my guess is dysentery. I sang for him Audrey Tourtereaux's French song, but he was still moaning and crying out. His wife began asking why I wasn't making him better, and questioning my capabilities, so I sang the song of the Oak Tree. Not for him, but for her. Once I felt like she was... hypnotized? Papa always said my voice was hypnotic, perhaps he was onto something… I told her to go make herself a cup of tea with laudanum and go sit on the couch. Sure enough, she followed my instructions to the letter. She was sound asleep on the couch when I let myself out.I will sing.I will sing for Betsey, and she will do my bidding.~~~~~~“Children, why don't we play hide and go seek?!” shouts Farfalla excitedly.“I hardly think that's appropriate; we don't want anyone to go missing, do we?” says Nurse Betsey. Or do we? Wonders Farfalla.“Oh, Nurse Betsey, we play hide and go seek with Miss Skye all the time! it's tremendous fun! Please say yes!” begs Frannie.“We promise we'll come out if you can't find us!” adds Felix. Nurse Betsey, not wanting to be outdone by Farfalla, nods her head reluctantly. “But you need to stay on Carnifex land, understood?” she asks in her usual sharp tone. Both children nod solemnly.“Wonderful!” says Farfalla, clapping her hands. “Now, the two of you go hide while Nurse Betsey and I count to 100. Ready? Set… GO!”The children scurry across the field in different directions as Farfalla turns to face the stone wall at the back of Carnifex House. Nurse Betsey stands next to her, stoic and silent. Farfalla counts to fifty, then softly begins to hum the song of the Oak Tree. “What on earth are you doing?” asks Nurse Betsey, but Farfalla keeps her face turned toward the wall, gradually singing louder and louder. Eventually, she turns to look at Betsey, who is staring at her, wide-eyed. Farfalla, still singing, turns and starts walking across the field toward the path that leads to the beach. Betsey follows closely behind, as if in a trance. They walk all the way across the field, but instead of taking the path to the beach, Farfalla takes a sharp left, and they start walking uphill into the neighbouring field. Farfalla keeps her singing steady as the cold wind blows the tall dry grass around them. There is a chill in the air. October is almost over. The ocean will be very cold now. Farfalla can feel herself getting winded as they walk up the hill, which gets steeper and steeper with every step, but she keeps singing, and Betsey follows without question.Finally, Farfalla reaches the top of the hill. From this vantage point she can see the ocean stretch for miles, its choppy surface interrupted by a series of rocky islands in the distance. She can see the sandy beach stretch out to her right, and she can see the rocks and crashing waves directly below the cliff on which she and Betsey now stand. Farfalla stops singing and turns to face Betsey. “I know what you did to those children,” she begins.“Children…” echoes Betsey“I know it was you who broke the music box,” continues Farfalla.“Music...” whispers Betsey.“I tried to speak to Mr. and Mrs. Carnifex. I even tried to speak to you!” she cries, tears streaming down her face. “You are a hurtful, horrible person, Betsey,” she continues, her emotions getting the better of her.Betsey blinks, and Farfalla worries that the spell may be broken. She hums the song again to regain control. This time, a sea bird begins circling overhead, intrigued by the sound of Farfalla's voice. Once she is certain Betsey is once again in a trance, Farfalla points to the cliff's edge. “Walk,” she says, simply.Betsey turns on her heel and takes a step. Farfalla wipes the tears from her face and smiles. It's working! The wind picks up, blowing the sea bird out into the bay. It fights to get back to the cliff's edge, and lands on a rock a few paces away from Farfalla. Betsey continues her slow, methodical march to the edge of the cliff. Farfalla licks her lips in anticipation. Finally, just as Betsey's toes are leaning over the edge of the cliff she suddenly stops. Farfalla's brow furrows. “No!” Farfalla's hushed whisper is quickly carried away on the wind. Betsey slowly turns around, a look of confusion on her face. Farfalla, panicked, turns to the sea bird on the rock, and points to Betsey. “Fly!” she shouts. This time the wind is on her side, carrying her command straight to its target. The bird lifts off the rock and, without hesitation, flies in a direct line toward Betsey, hitting her in the chest and causing her to stumble backwards. Betsey's eyes grow wide as she realizes what is happening. There is no time for her to scream before her body is hurled over the edge of the cliff. Farfalla can hear rocks tumble down the cliffside and land in the ocean. Betsey also lands, with a sickening thud. The sea bird lifts into the sky and circles back like a boomerang, landing at Farfalla's feet.“Hello there, friend,” she says, crouching to take a closer look. The bird tilts its head toward her, as if waiting for instructions. “You are free to go now. Thank you,” she says simply. The bird spreads its wings, almost like it is waving goodbye, lifts into the sky, and soars over the ocean. Farfalla watches until it is out of sight, then turns and walks back toward Carnifex House. The children will be wondering where she is, her plan took longer to carry out than she anticipated. She hums happily to herself as she scurries through the dry grass.From behind the rock where the sea bird first landed, a small face with tear-stained cheeks peeks out. Confused, the child walks to the cliff's edge and looks down. There, on the sharp rocks, waves crashing over her still body, is Nursey Betsey. She is laying at a strange angle, arms and legs dangling in different directions, the tips of her fingers dipping into the violent water below. Terrified, the child backs away, then races through the tall grass toward Carnifex House.In the grey October sky above, an ever-growing flock of sea birds begins to circle, patiently waiting for their next instructions.Thank you so much for listening.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla had a strange encounter with a boy on the beach while out with Frannie and Felix.In today's episode we read the chapter 20 – The Music Box – in which a day of celebration turns rather dark, rather quickly.Today's podcast partner is Bluestep Audio located in Halesowen UK.

Contact links are in the shownotes.I would also like to acknowledge La Fete de la St Jean Baptiste, which takes place on June 24th and has been embraced as a holiday strong in cultural identity in my native Quebec, Canada, which has inspired many of the scenes throughout The Skylark Trilogy. Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.October 16th, 1799The people of Pòcaid have kept me busy with “performances” of late, calling me in for people who, I have no doubt, are simply suffering from a common cold. But I do my duty, plop that ridiculous crown on my head, and sing them the French lullaby Audrey Tourtereaux taught me all those years ago.I have discovered something, however. Something of great value. There are times when singing the same song grows tiresome, so I instead sing the song of the Oak Tree, and those times I've noticed the song seems to have an effect on the people in the room. When I finish, they are all staring at me with unseeing eyes. One time I told one of the little boys in the room to spin around, and he did so, as if in a daze, almost like he was sleepwalking. It was quite curious, but I presumed he was simply a very obedient child. I was intrigued enough, however, to try it again. So, the next time I was called in for a performance, I sang the song of the Oak Tree, and this time when it ended I asked the maid to take a drinking glass from the tray on the bed and smash it to the floor. To my amazement, she followed my request without hesitation. When the lady of the house came bursting in asking what was going on, the maid blinked and looked at the shattered glass on the floor, hopelessly confused. She had no recollection of any of the events leading up to that point. I took the blame for the glass, and of course all was forgiven. The villagers love me, I can do no wrong.~~~~~~“Frannie, it's your turn,” says Donald Carnifex, handing his daughter an object wrapped in layers cloth. Frannie's face lights up, she just watched Felix unveil his gift from their father, a collection of horses and soldiers carved out of wood, each painted in bright colours. She carefully pulls the cloth off the object, and holds it up at eye level, unsure what to do next. “It's a music box,” says Mr. Carnifex. “Here, let me show you how it works.” He places a small metal key in the back of the box and turns it. A playful tune emanates from the box, to everyone's delight, especially Frannie's. “Oh Papa, it's magic!” she breathes, “May I try?”“Of course! I'm glad you like it,” he says, handing her the key. Frannie places it in the hole and cranks it a few times. The music begins to play over the soft whirring of the small motor inside the box. Frannie cranks it two more times before jumping in her father's arms. “Oh Papa, I've missed you so!” she says.“Me too!” shouts Felix, both of them running to their father and throwing their arms around his neck.Donald has been away on business for weeks. He travelled to the mainland, and eventually on to other parts of Europe, collecting gifts for the children along the way. “I've missed you too,” he says, giving them each a pat on the head. “Now Frannie, that music box is very rare and very special, promise you'll be careful with it,” he says.“I promise Papa,” she replies, cradling the box in her hands like a baby bird. She runs her fingers over the carved wood, feeling the flowers engraved around the edges of the top. “Nurse Betsey, why don't you head upstairs to help the children wash up for dinner,” says Isabella. “May we bring our gifts upstairs with us?” asks Felix, not quite ready to put down his toy soldiers.“You can bring them up to put them away. It's no longer time to play,” says Nurse Betsey in her dry, cracking voice as she lifts herself out of her chair.“Perhaps you'd like to enjoy dinner as a family, now that Mr. Carnifex has returned,” says Farfalla.“Nonsense, you're family now too,” replies Isabella with a wave of her hand.Farfalla can feel Nurse Betsey bristle at Isabella's words. She plods up the stairs behind the children, her body stiff as a board. Farfalla glares at her back until she disappears on the landing. She's found Frannie in tears on more than one occasion and found Felix by the beach throwing large rocks furiously into the water just last week. Neither one of them wanted to talk about what happened, but Farfalla could tell Nurse Betsey was involved.“Isabella told me how you have helped with the children in my absence. We are both very grateful,” says Donald.“They are both an absolute joy, I truly love spending time with them,” replies Farfalla, turning her gaze away from the stairway and back to Donald and Isabella.“They enjoy spending time with you as well. Felix still talks about your picnic at the beach, and Frannie has spent weeks painting the seashells she collected. She displays them on the windowsill in her bedroom,” smiles Isabella.“We are very fortunate to have you here,” adds Donald, wrapping his arm around his wife's shoulders. She turns her face toward him and they look at one another lovingly. Farfalla remembers she and Marius looking at one another that way, and feels a sinking feeling in her heart. Suddenly, a loud crash on the ceiling above their heads followed by a piercing scream shakes her out of her memories. Farfalla, Isabella and Donald rush up the stairs in unison. Isabella reaches the doorway to the children's room first. “What in the world?!” she exclaims.“Oh Frannie, your music box!” says Donald.Farfalla creeps up behind them and looks over their shoulders. Frannie is crumpled on the floor, weeping. In front of her, pieces of the music box are strewn about the floor. Felix is cowering in the corner, a terrified look in his eyes.“What happened here?!” demands Isabella.“Well, it would appear Felix here was jealous of his sister's very rare and special gift,” begins Nurse Betsey with a sneer, “so he held it up over his head and smashed it to the ground!”Farfalla watches as Felix's eyes grow wide with shock. Isabella lets out a gasp, “Felix, how could you?!” she shouts. “Nurse Betsey, please take Felix into the next room and administer a suitable consequence for his actions,” she says sternly, her eyes cold as ice.“No, Mama, please! It wasn't-“ he begins, desperation in his little voice.“Come now, I think we've heard enough from you!” says Betsey, grabbing him roughly by the arm and dragging him out of the room before he can say anything else.Farfalla watches Frannie intently, she is crying so hard she can't speak. Farfalla pushes past Mr. and Mrs. Carnifex and sits on the floor next to her. She slowly begins picking up the pieces of the music box and collecting them in the skirt of her dress. “You know,” she says in the most calming tone she can muster, “Mr. Crake down in the village is quite handy, he has that shop, Crake's Clocks. I bet he would be willing to try and fix this for you.” Frannie looks up at her with teary eyes, and Farfalla is shocked to realize Frannie isn't crying over the music box. It isn't sadness on her face, it's fear. Farfalla leans in closely and whispers in her ear, “Did Nurse Betsey smash your music box?” she asks. Frannie gives her a very faint nod. Farfalla can feel the rage boiling inside her. She bites her lip and inhales deeply to regain her self-control. “I apologize, Miss Skye, perhaps it would be best if we sent some dinner home with you and gathered together to celebrate Donald's return tomorrow night,” says Isabella, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.Farfalla nods and stands up. She steps into the hallway and is about to go downstairs when she hears a cry from down the hall. She hears a loud smacking noise and another cry. Felix! Nurse Betsey must be exercising some kind of punishment for breaking the music box, even though he did nothing of the sort. Farfalla's fists clench as she walks down the stairs, Felix's cries of pain echoing behind her. This is the last time Nurse Betsey hurts these children, she thinks to herself.Thank you so much for listening.

Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnDeathcore is a subgenre of extreme metal that emerged in the early 2000s, blending elements of death metal and metalcore. It is characterized by its heavy and aggressive sound, incorporating brutal breakdowns, guttural vocals, fast-paced guitar riffs, and complex drumming patterns. Deathcore bands often explore dark and intense lyrical themes, including violence, death, nihilism, and existentialism.The origins of deathcore can be traced back to bands such as Despised Icon, Job for a Cowboy, and The Acacia Strain, who helped shape the genre's sound and style. These bands incorporated the technicality and brutality of death metal with the breakdowns and melodic hooks of metalcore, creating a unique and distinctive sound.Deathcore quickly gained popularity among metal fans, particularly among those who enjoyed the extreme and aggressive nature of the genre. The heavy and relentless nature of deathcore music, combined with its intense live performances, attracted a dedicated and passionate following.One of the key elements of deathcore is the breakdown, a section of the song characterized by slow and heavy guitar riffs accompanied by powerful drumming. Breakdowns are often used to create a sense of heaviness and intensity, encouraging moshing and headbanging among fans during live performances. The breakdowns in deathcore songs are known for their bone-crushing impact, creating an exhilarating and cathartic experience for both the band and the audience.Lyrically, deathcore explores a range of dark and disturbing themes. Bands often delve into topics such as violence, horror, despair, and the human condition. The lyrics can be introspective and thought-provoking, examining the darker aspects of life and society. Some bands also incorporate elements of horror and the occult, further adding to the genre's macabre and sinister atmosphere.In conclusion, deathcore is a powerful and aggressive subgenre of extreme metal that combines the brutality of death metal with the melodic hooks and breakdowns of metalcore. It has carved its own niche in the metal scene, attracting a dedicated following of fans who appreciate its heavy sound, intense live performances, and exploration of dark and disturbing lyrical themes. Deathcore continues to evolve and thrive, pushing the boundaries of extreme music and leaving a lasting impact on the metal community.Whitechapel, Carnifex, Thy Art Is Murder, Suicide Silence, The Acacia Strain, Chelsea Grin, Despised Icon, Fit For an Autopsy, Oceano, Rings of Saturn, Lorna Shore, Enterprise Earth, Shadow of Intent, Slaughter to Prevail, Aversions Crown, AngelMaker, Infant Annihilator, Attila, Make Them Suffer, Spite, Emmure, Job for a Cowboy, Born of Osiris, I Declare War, Within the Ruins, Molotov Solution, The Black Dahlia Murder, Oceano, Suffocation, Annotations of an Autopsy, Conducting from the Grave, A Night in Texas, Acrania, Shrine of Malice, Impending Doom, Rose Funeral, Through the Eyes of the Dead, All Shall Perish, King Conquer, Aegaeon, I Killed Everyone, As Blood Runs Black, Abiotic, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Impurity of Mriya, Betraying the Martyrs, Arsonists Get All the Girls, The Red Chord, Martyr Defiled, Iwrestledabearonce, Ovid's WitheringThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla settled into her role both as the Skye Lark Belle and as an extended member of the Carnifex household.In today's episode we read the chapter 19 – The Beach – in which Farfalla has a strange encounter with a young boy reminiscent of a scene in Book 2 – Wingspan.Today's podcast partner is Cozyland.

Check the show notes for a link to the Cozyland podcast. Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.August 12th, 1799I had the dream again last night. The water dream. I don't understand, it has already played out in real life, why would it keep coming to me in my sleep? I woke up staring at the wall above my bed, wishing I still had Isadora's dream catcher. At least this time I didn't sleepwalk.The dream was slightly different in that I knew it was the Skylark Bell in my hands. I clutched it, wishing to be someplace else, while humming the song from the Oak Tree. I think somehow it was a combination of the Skylark Bell and that song that brought me here, back in time. Perhaps I could somehow return home to Elisabeth if I could get my hands on the bell. Agnes Sutherland took it from me the day of the Lark Festival and squirreled it away. I've half a mind to march back into her house and take it back, but despite their modest means the Sutherlands are well-liked and carry some weight in this town. I must be cautious about how I retrieve the bell, so as not to make waves.I am bringing Frannie and Felix to the beach today. Nurse Betsey has the day off to tend to her ill mother on the other side of the island, and I offered to care for the children. At first Isabella waved her hand at me dismissively. “You don't need to do that!” she had said. But the children begged and pleaded, and I insisted, so she relented. I asked the cook to pack us a picnic, and I've collected blankets for us to sit on, and some small baskets to collect rocks and seashells. I think today is going to be a beautiful day…~~~~~~Farfalla and the children skip through the tall grass of the field behind Carnifex house hand in hand. The horses in the pasture to their right are galloping around, tossing their manes in the air, thoroughly enjoying the spring sunshine and cool sea breeze.“Miss Skye, did you like to go to the beach when you were our age?” asks Felix in his customary formal tone. Farfalla smiles a a pang of nostalgia grabs her. “No,” she replies, “where I lived there was no beach. But there was a pond, Mirror Pond it was called, and I liked to spend time there watching the frogs and turtles.”“I'm not very fond of frogs,” says Frannie, scrunching up her face. Farfalla laughs, sticks out her fingers and pretends to chase the girl, “what don't you like about frogs? They won't hurt you; they just want to tickle you to pieces!” she shouts, sending Frannie racing toward the beach in a fit of giggles.They arrive at the beach and Farfalla spreads out the blankets in a sandy area. She hands each of the children an empty bucket and smiles as they race toward the water. Felix immediately starts selecting the best skipping stones, while Frannie digs through the wet sand in search of seashells. Farfalla walks to the shore and lets the waves gently wash over her feet as they sink comfortably into the sand. She closes her eyes and breathes deeply, letting the salty sea air flow through her lungs. Just a few paces away she can hear Felix and Frannie chatting about the treasures they've already found; “Look at this stone, Frannie, it's perfectly round and smooth. I bet I can get it to skip 7 times!” “Felix, look at this shell, it's the biggest one I've ever seen, and so shiny on the inside!” Farfalla smiles, if she can't be with Elisabeth, this is the next best thing. She takes one more deep breath and opens her eyes. “Hullo,” says a small voice. She looks down and sees a young boy, his soft brown curls blowing in the wind. He is looking up at her with unusually large, bright blue eyes.“Hi there!” she says, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.“I know you,” he says.Farfalla furrows her brow. She's never met this boy in her life. “I think you're mistaking me for someone else,” she says gently, smiling at him.“No, it was you. At the edge of the woods. You said hello to me. You knew my name,” he speaks with such confidence Farfalla is at a loss for words. She takes a moment to gather her thoughts.“Well, you see, it couldn't have been me, because I don't know your name,” she says, certain now he will admit his mistake.“You told me that you heard my father say it, at the cliff,” he insists. Now Farfalla is entirely confused. What cliff? “Who is your father?” she asks, trying to sort the pieces of the puzzle.“My father is the mayor,” he answers in a tone that makes it obvious he thinks she should already know.“Miss Skye! Miss Skye!” she hears Frannie and Felix shout excitedly.“That's not your name,” says the boy. Farfalla's heart skips a beat. “What do you think my name is?” she asks, afraid of what his answer will be.“Dealan-dè,” he replies.“Miss Skye, look what we found!” shout Frannie and Felix in unison. Farfalla turns to look at them, only a few paces away. When she turns back to the boy he is gone. She glances over her shoulder and sees him walking up the hill, away from the beach. What a strange child, she thinks.“What did you find?” she asks as the children finally catch up to her. Felix holds up his bucket “Take a peek!” he says, a hint of mischief in his voice. Farfalla cautiously peeks over the rim and sees a sparkling white egg sitting on a bed of sand. “Hmmm…” she muses, “and you found this on the beach?” Both children nod. “And there was no nest nearby?” Both children shake their heads no. “And you definitely did not take it from our picnic basket?” she asks, a smile teasing the corner of her mouth. At this, Felix and Frannie burst into laughter. “Come on,” says Farfalla, laughing along with them, “I think it's time for lunch.”They sit on the blankets and eat while watching the tide slowly roll in. By the time they finish the water is tickling the edge of the blanket. “I suppose it's time to head home,” says Farfalla regretfully.“Oh Miss Skye, please, can't we keep playing outside? It's such a beautiful day, and we're having such fun!” begs Frannie.“Frannie, Mama said we shouldn't take up too much of Miss Skye's time!” reprimands Felix in a hushed voice.Farfalla takes them both by the hand. “Now, now, there'll be no arguing on my watch. You are certainly not taking up too much of my time. Why don't we bring the basket up to the house, and then we can go say hello to the horses?” The children whoop joyfully and race to the house, their arms loaded with the blankets, buckets, and picnic basket. Farfalla watches them, her heart full for the first time in a long time. It is a beautiful day.They meet up at the gate to the paddock and the horses plod over to say hello. “I'm surprised you don't have some kind of stable hand to care for the horses,” says Farfalla. She has seen the maid occasionally groom and saddle a horse when Donald Carnifex travels for business. The children give one another a strange look. “What is it?” asks Farfalla, noticing.“There used to be Charlie,” begins Frannie.“Frannie, shush! Mama said we don't talk about Charlie!” hisses Felix.“What happened to Charlie?” asks Farfalla, both confused and concerned.“He went into the woods,” replies Frannie, earning herself an elbow to the ribs courtesy of Felix.“What's wrong with the woods?” asks Farfalla.“We're not allowed to go into the woods,” answers Felix, with a tone that says the conversation is closed.“Why not?” asks Farfalla, tiring of the tedious fashion in which the bits of information are being pulled from the children.“Because of the vanishings,” says Frannie, earning herself a glare this time.“Vanishings?!” Farfalla exclaims. Why hasn't she heard about this yet?“People who go into the woods don't come out. Papa says it's druid magic. He says the druid lady who lives in the woods makes people disappear,”“Well now you've done it, Frannie! Mama said we weren't to worry Miss Skye with these things! Nurse Betsey will be so angr-“ Felix stops himself then. “Felix why would Nurse Betsey be angry with you?” asks Farfalla. Felix gives a shrug and looks down at the ground, kicking the dirt with his feet. “Does she get angry with you often?” she tries. The boy nods, and Frannie follows suit. Farfalla crouches down to their eye level and lifts their faces up with her hands. “Next time she gets angry with you, will you please let me know?” she asks. The children nod silently. “Great. Now then, how about you show me all those shells and rocks you collected at the beach?” she says, grabbing the children by the hand and walking back toward the house.The children chatter on about their discoveries as if they'd never mentioned the vanishings or the woods, but in Farfalla's mind she can't help but replay the conversation. Her mind shifts to the boy on the beach. “I know you,” he had said. “I've seen you before, at the edge of the woods…”Thank you so much for listening.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla fell into the role assigned to her by the villagers, and gained a reputation as The Skye Lark Bell.In today's episode we read the chapter 18 – Pocaid – in which Farfalla becomes close with the Carnifex children, Frannie and Felix.Today's podcast partner is The Activity Continues, also a member of the Boopod Network of true crime and paranormal podcasts.

Be sure to check the show notes for a link to their podcast.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.September 5th, 1798I have been here for over a year now. It was expected that I partake in the Skye Lark Festival again. The town chose to crown me the Skye Lark Belle for a second year in a row. I stood while they clapped and cheered as the crown was placed on my head, then a hush fell over the crowd as they waited for me to sing. I made them wait this time. Just for fun. I got a bit of a thrill out of it, the power to hold them captive.The villagers have taken to calling me Skye. After several weeks I realized I never told anyone my real name. No one has ever heard the name Farfalla, it's like Farfalla doesn't exist here. It's like I'm a completely different person here, in this place, in this time.After the night I sang to Lissie, and her apparent healing, word spread around the town of Pòcaid and the surrounding area faster than a bolt of lightning. I have been called to “perform” countless times since then. Each time, the person I am being called to perform for seems to feel better after I sing for them. I don't understand it. I am not a Selkie, or a Witch, or any other sort of mystical being. But while ever the people of Pòcaid feel I have some sort of power over them, I will continue to do their bidding. They reward me with and endless stream of gifts; flowers, clothing, jewelry, I even have my very own cottage at the back of Carnifex House. Ah yes, I hadn't told you that part yet, had I!I finally made my way to Carnifex House. It's a lovely stone house with rolling fields behind it that gradually lead down to the beach. James and Elisabeth would have loved it. We would have been endlessly happy here…I befriended the Carnifex family, without telling them of my connection to them, of course. Donald and Isabella Carnifex, James' great-grandparents, are lovely people. They have two small children: Felix and Fran. Felix will eventually sire George Archibald, who is, though rather indirectly, somewhat responsible for my being here. But I don't hold that against him. We play hide and seek nearly every day, and skip rocks into the sea. Fran, on the other hand, prefers to spend her days quietly sketching, or sewing. She has drawn pictures of me, always with the ocean in the background, and of course my silver crown of vines and twigs. I spend all my spare time with the children, they help heal my heart. I wonder what Elisabeth does with her days…~~~~~~“Skye! Skye!” Fran's little voice barely makes it through the thick wooden door of the caretaker's cottage. With the typical impatience of a child her age she bangs her little fists against the door in rapid succession. Finally, she hears footsteps coming on the other side and quiets down, excitedly shifting from foot to foot.“Fran, what in the world is going on?!” asks Farfalla, opening the door so the girl can come in.“Papa came back from the mainland today, and he brought us a surprise!” says the girl, holding up a paper-wrapped package tied with string.“I see,” smiles Farfalla. The child's excitement is endearing. “What is it?” she asks.“Well, Felix thinks it's just rocks, and that Papa is playing tricks on us, but I think it might be sweets!” she says, her cheeks turning pink with joy.“Where is Felix?” asks Farfalla, glancing out the window.“He went down to the beach to open his package, he says that way he can throw the rocks straight into the ocean,” Fran rolls her eyes in exasperation in a way that makes her look much older than her six years.“What are you waiting for then, dig in!” laughs Farfalla. Fran doesn't wait for her to ask twice, before anyone can utter another word the string has been slipped off and the torn paper is on the floor. “I knew it! He's brought us back some tablet!” shouts Fran, barely able to contain herself.Farfalla is hit with a memory she'd put to the back of her mind. The night she and James had spent in Glasgow, after their romantic dinner they went for a walk, and he slipped into a gift shop, coming out with his hands behind his back. “Pick a hand!” he had said. She chose the left. He whipped his arm around and handed her a piece of candy tucked into a small white paper cup. The candy had melted on her tongue and washed her mouth in sweet, sugary, creamy flavour. “Scottish tablet!” he had said before she could ask, proud of himself for aptly choosing his gift to her.“Shall we have some?” comes Fran's little voice from her seat at the table.“Yes, yes, of course,” stumbles Farfalla, shaking her head back to the present. She fishes a knife out of the kitchen drawer and cuts two small squares from the brick. The flavour is exactly as she remembers, and she closes her eyes to savour it. A knock on the door startles them both. “Come in!” calls Farfalla. Nurse Betsey, Felix and Fran's nanny, comes charging through the door.“Frances Annabel Carnifex, I told you not to bother Miss Skye!” she says in her usual stern tone. “I'm so sorry about this, we'll be on our way,” she adds, turning toward Farfalla. “Come now, Fran! I still need to find your brother, who knows where he's run off to. I turn my back for one second… ” She doesn't give Farfalla a chance to interject, and ushers the child from the kitchen table. Fran waves a sheepish goodbye to Farfalla as Nurse Betsey herds her out the door. Farfalla folds the paper around what is left of the tablet and tucks it into the pantry, she'll bring it back up to the main house tonight when she goes for dinner. The Carnifex family is quite wealthy, having secured business connections of the mainland. They facilitate the export of various goods from island. They have a cook, a maid, and of course Nurse Betsey. When they offered for Farfalla to live in the caretaker's cottage they insisted she also dine with them every evening. Farfalla is very cognizant of her good fortune. Her status as The Skye Lark Belle, or a Selkie as most villagers seem to believe, has secured her a rather lavish lifestyle. Everywhere she goes she is greeted with a “G'day Miss Skye!”. The villagers have provided her with the most stylish dresses, the coziest wool blankets, pillows made of down rather than feathers or straw, and the softest leather boots. They regularly feed her meals that most only get to enjoy on special occasion. They shower her with flowers, jewellery, and other gifts. All she has to do in return, is sing to their loved ones when they are unwell. The one thing no one has provided is friendship. The closest thing Farfalla has to it is her relationship with Fran and Felix, but they are children. Farfalla finds herself denied the adult companionship she craves. The villagers show her respect, admiration, and a semblance of kindness, but below it all there is fear. It's different than the outward fear the people of Pocket harboured toward her; this fear is kept below the surface. Thank you so much for listening.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla was crowned the first Skye Lark Belle at the very first edition of the Lark Festival of Skye.In today's episode we read the chapter 17 – A Childhood Dream Come True – in which Farfalla embraces her new role as The Skye Lark Belle.Today's podcast partner is fellow Boopod Network member The Haunted UK.

Be sure to check the show notes for a link to their podcast.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.August 1st, 1797As a child, I wanted nothing more than to be The Skye Lark Belle. I remember the sound of Mama's voice as she read from the brown leather-bound book with the gold etching on the on the cover. I remember sitting by the fire with Paloma, each with a cup of hot cocoa and a blanket. I remember imagining in my head the images that went with the words Mama was reading. A beautiful woman with long red hair, just like mine, walking out of the ocean in her long white dress. The people on the beach were spell-bound by her beauty. They brought her to the Lark Festival and put her on a stage where she sang for everyone, and they all fell in love with her, and crowned her the Belle of the Lark Festival of Skye. I wanted it all. I wished for it with every fiber of my being. The adoration, the gifts, the crown. I sat and wished for it every single day, sitting on that big rock in the middle of mirror pond.I didn't know then that it was a true story. I didn't know then that it was based on my very own life. Who would ever have believed that?! I didn't know then that the old adage, be careful what you wish for, would ever ring so true? I have paid dearly for that wish. I will never see Elisabeth again, she won't be born for over 130 years. I will never know what happened to James. I will never see Mama, Papa, or Paloma again, and they will never know what happened to me. They'll never guess that my entire story is written in a book that bought in a small overseas bookshop and gifted to Mama years ago.We all thought it was just a story. But it's real.Very, very real.~~~~~~Farfalla landed on the beach only a few days ago and has been asleep for most of that time. After being crowned at the lark festival she walked through the field in a daze, shying away as people came to her one after the other, touching her hair, asking her to sing, asking her what it is like being a sea creature. Finally, the old woman had shooed them away and collected her husband from the ale tent so he could drive them home to a small house at the end of a long dirt road. They give her two helpings of boiled fish and potato stew, then a cup of oats with milk and honey, before showing her to her room. Farfalla lets herself sink into the straw bed, the hearty meal having filled her stomach, and falls into a deep, dreamless sleep.“Rise and shine!” comes a voice from the doorway. Farfalla groggily sits up turns to let her legs dangle off the edge of the bed, her feet resting on the rough wood floor. The old woman from the cart walks into the room carrying a tray. “I've brought ye some oats n' berries, and a tall glass of milk. That'll put ye right, you'll see,” she says cheerfully as she places the tray on the bed next to Farfalla.“Thank you Mrs. Sutherland,” says Farfalla.“Please, call me Agnes, we're practically family now,” replies the old woman with a chuckle.Farfalla bristles at the mention of family. Farfalla rubs her eyes and looks down at a tin cup filled with wild roses sitting on the nightstand next to the bed. She leans over to smell them, and the scent brings her back to Meadow Lane the day she made her own crown of vines and twigs. She had placed a wild rose in it. She feels a pang of sadness hit her in the gut. Blinking back tears, she scans the room, and lets out a gasp. Every possible surface is covered with a makeshift vase filled with wildflowers; bluebells, daisies, clover, violets, marigolds, forget-me-nots… “They're from the villagers” Agnes explains, “They're happy you have chosen Pòcaid as your home.”Pòcaid. The name sounds familiar. Farfalla lets it roll around in her head for a moment, then it clicks. Pòcaid is the name of the village she and James were going to. Carnifex House must be nearby!“I've altered one of my dresses for you,” Agnes' voice cuts through Farfalla's thoughts, “it'll be perfect for your performance tonight,” she says.Farfalla's brow furrows. “Performance?” she asks.“Yes, the Brackenridge girl is ill again, Margaret is convinced the healing powers of a Selkie will make it right. I've promised her you will come over tonight, to sing,” replies. Farfalla opens her mouth to protest but thinks better of it. Agnes' tone left no room for discussion.Farfalla finishes her breakfast and spends most of the day helping Agnes around the house while John tends to the fields. They eat and early supper together and Agnes sends Farfalla to her room to get ready. Farfalla struggles with the dress, the complex layers of undergarments very unfamiliar to her. Once she's relatively confident everything is in its place she heads to the kitchen.“I knew it would fit you,” gushes Agnes, fussing over the placement of the lace collar at the back of Farfalla's neck. “We should go, they'll be expecting us,” she says, nodding to John who gets up and marches out the door.They sit in a row at the front of the horse cart, Farfalla in the middle. The dark bay mare, whose name is Violet, plods along what is clearly a familiar path. They turn down a long dirt lane and pull up in front of a two-story stone house with a vast, well-manicured garden in front. “Now, Mrs. Brackenridge is expecting you,” says Agnes, as she and Farfalla step out of the cart. She reaches into the folds of her skirts and pulls out the silver vine crown. “One last thing,” she says, placing it gently on Farfalla's head. She stands back and scans her eyes up and down to ensure everything is in its place, then gives one short nod of approval. “Off you go then,” she says, gesturing toward the front door.“Ar-aren't you coming with me?” asks Farfalla, suddenly even more uncomfortable than she already was.“No, the Brackenridge family is very particular,” she says, a hint of bitterness in her voice. She waves her hand one more time and climbs back into the cart. “We'll be back to collect you in a little while,” she says as John gives Violet the signal to start walking.Farfalla walks to the front door and reaches for the door knocker, but the door swings open before she has a chance to grasp it. A tall, older man with shoulders far too wide for his slim frame nods and gestures for her to come in. Farfalla steps into the hallway and notes the beautiful stone tile and ornate wood trim of the entryway.“Our honoured guest has arrived!” calls a sing-songy voice at the end of the hall. Farfalla takes a few tentative steps in that direction and sees a woman with a beautifully designed dress and dark silken hair up in a complex twist held together by several jeweled pins. The woman extends a delicate hand with unusually long fingers toward Farfalla. “I am Margaret Brackenridge, and this is my husband Donald,” she says. Her speech is as graceful as her posture. Headmistress Tangella-Newsome would love her thinks Farfalla, her lips curving into a smile. “Please, this way. Our daughter has taken ill again. I am sure you are just the remedy for what ails her,” says Margaret Brackenridge. Farfalla finds herself unable to think of her as simply ‘Margaret'. They continue down the long hallway and up the stairs to a bedroom to the right of the landing. Inside the dimly lit room is a large four-poster bed with layers of thick blankets despite the summer heat. Farfalla can see a small, pale face peeking out from under the blankets. She walks to the bed and cautiously sits down. The little girl's eyes open, and progressively widen when she sees Farfalla. “Hullo,” says the girl, quietly.“Hello,” says Farfalla, smiling. “What's your name?”“Lissie,” she replies, and after a brief moment, “Well, really it's Elisabeth,”Faralla's heart skips a beat. Elisabeth. She can feel her hands start to tremble so she shoves them under her legs. “I know who you are,” continues the girl, her voice barely above a whisper. Farfalla looks at her quizzically. “You're the Skye Lark Belle!” at this her voice gains a little strength. “Mama says you came from the ocean, like a Selkie, and that you can make me better!”Farfalla feels her eyes get sad. She can tell the girl is stricken with some kind of degenerative illness. The best she can do is bring her some temporary comfort. “Well, what do you say we walk over to that rocking chair and I sing you a little song?” she asks. The little girl nods, and Farfalla helps her get out of bed and take a few steps over to the chair. Farfalla sits down and lifts the girl onto her lap. She rocks back and forth for a moment before she starts singing. First the old French lullaby she once sang to her own Elisabeth, then, almost unconsciously, the song of the Oak Tree. She opens her eyes as the last note echoes through the room, and looks down at the child. The girl is looking up at her wide-eyed, and there is a rosiness to her cheeks that wasn't there before.“Lissie?” Margaret Brackenridge walks across the room and looks down at her daughter. Lissie wiggles off Farfalla's lap and stands up, then takes several confident steps around the room. “Lissie, you're walking!” exclaims her mother, grabbing the girl and lifting her into her arms. “Thank you,” she says to Farfalla, her eyes filled with gratitude.“The Sutherlands have arrived,” says the tall, slim butler from the doorway.“I should be going,” says Farfalla. She leans in toward the girl, no sitting on the edge of the bed and swinging her legs back and forth. “Goodbye, Elisabeth,” she says, running a hand down the girl's cheek. She turns away quickly before they can see the tears brewing in her eyes, and scurries down the stairs and through the long hallway to the front door.“Wait!” shouts Mr. Brackenridge, running behind her. Farfalla stops in her tracks, running a finger under her eyelid to catch a tear. She turns to face the man. “How will we ever repay you?” he asks.“Oh, no need to repay me,” she says, “I'm just happy I could help.” With that, she turns and leaves.“How did it go?” asks Agnes, shifting to the middle of the seat so Farfalla can get into the cart.“She's feeling well now,” replies Farfalla, pulling the crown off her head and putting it into the back of the cart. They ride the rest of the way home in silence, and Farfalla heads straight to bed, visions of Lissie and her own Elisabeth swirling into one another as she falls asleep.Thank you so much for listening.
