I thought I would start my podcast series recommendations off with one that defies easy description: Mabel. After this any other series should be easy to fit into my template.
Mabel
Written by Becca De La Rosa and Mabel Martin
Narrated by: Becca De La Rosa
Genre: Fantasy, Gothic Mystery, F/F romance
Length: ~20 Min
Transcript/Text version: Mabel Podcast: Transcripts
My Synopsis: Did you ever wonder what would happen if Gothic horror could be done with fae and lead by Latin women in love? Probably not, but even if you did you probably wouldn't have come up with Anna Limon leaving voicemail for the estranged daughter of her elderly client who lives in the prerequisite possibly interdimensional "House On A Hill" all good Gothic horror needs.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut
Sex: Some kissing
Violence/Blood & Gore: a woman is beaten for defying the king under the hill; descriptions of dead bodies; a character tears out some of their own bones for a spell; a character has thorny vines wrap around them to keep them exposed to the elements all night; body horror
Drug/Alcohol Use: Some drinking of alcohol to calm down after a distressing event; do sketchy potions count as drugs or self harm?
Other: a major character has some mental health issues (possibly due to fae influence) and was abused (not sexually) as a child; women being held against their will; suicide; missing persons;
If anyone has anything I could add or describe better let me know!

Date: 2019-03-15 11:50 am (UTC)From:I love how it avoids any simple explanation or fitting neatly in any box. The house both cage and protector (and possibly Sally's payment for giving up Luna?). Anna appears at first blush to be a simple observer/last sane man character but the plot doesn't force her to change her character just reveals it's depth. Mabel the beloved but estranged granddaughter missing yet (spoiler & spoiler). I am doing a relisten and am falling back in love with it. I just need to remember to look at the big picture because the small can be frustrating.
