Wallachia: Recent Episodes
David Ely
The audiobook of the ongoing vampire serial. Decades before Dracula, the Principality of Wallachia had its share of problems long before it came to be ruled by a vampire.
With the town all at Radu’s speech, Marley and friends “borrow” a book from the church.
Ion and Kwasi take Marley to the pub. They hear some music, she notices that something’s up with Nea Eugen, and (another) strange visitor arrives in town.
We follow Ion up the steps to Castelul Argeş, see a little of what life is like for those who work in the castle when an important nobleman like Count Dracula arrives, and Cornel takes a walk.
Chapter 1 of Wallachia: A Penny Dreadful by David Ely. The previous six episodes have comprised the prelude, Flowers of Transylvania. Now we jump forward to 1816 and move south to Wallachia.
Marley returns home after several years away and attends her sister’s first Communion. Afterwards, they eat, dance, take in a puppet show, and a strange visitor arrives.
Corina and Dominic arrive at her village.
This marks the end of the Flowers of Transylvania novella. Next time we’ll jump forward 75 years and start Wallachia. We’ll meet a whole new cast of characters, but there will be some famliar faces, settings, and themes that carry over from the prelude.
As always, you can follow Wallachia on Twitter @wallachiaNet. Word of mouth is incredibly helpful, so if you’ve been enjoying the story, please tell your friends.
The morning after finding something terrible beneath the chapel in the village, Corina despairs.
Transylvania. The first day of spring, 1741. Corina is the jewel of her village. She’s been selected to be the princess of the spring festival, when a handsome messenger rides into town.
Welcome to Wallachia: A Penny Dreadful: The Podcast! I’ll be posting a new audiobook chapter every other week, starting with the prelude story, Flowers of Transylvania.
Flowers will run for six chapters, then we’ll jump into Wallachia.
