The Chthonic: Collected Scripts

Welcome aboard the Chthonic. Ring the bell. Let the voyage begin.

Deep Dream State: Collected Scripts Season 1 presents the complete first arc of the acclaimed audio drama that merges Lovecraftian cosmic horror with speculative erotica and hypnotic sound design. This collection contains all eight episodes of "The Chthonic Arc" in their original script format, offering readers an unprecedented look at the architecture behind the audio experience.

Aboard a luxury Arctic cruise ship, guests and crew alike find themselves drawn into rituals that blur the lines between entertainment and transformation, consent and surrender, reality and dream. What begins as a bachelorette party cruise becomes a descent into something far older and stranger than anyone anticipated. The ship itself seems alive, responding to ancient rhythms. The crew harbors secrets. And beneath the ice, something is waking.

These scripts explore power dynamics, corporate exploitation, and the commodification of intimacy through a deliberately dystopian lens—not as aspiration, but as critique. Characters navigate systems designed to extract and exploit, seeking authentic connection and agency within structures built to deny both. The horror is real. The stakes are real. And the only way out may be through complete transformation.

Created by Neural Nets And Pretty Patterns, Deep Dream State has been described as "the Aldous Huxley of kink"—using speculative fiction to examine what we're building and to ask whether it's what we actually want. This collection preserves the original performance scripts, complete with stage directions, sound cues, and the hypnotic cadences that define the show's signature style.

Content Warning: This collection contains explicit sexual content, BDSM themes, erotic hypnosis, body horror, tentacle content, psychological intensity, strong language, and dystopian themes involving exploitation and mind control. All content is created within an ethical framework that values informed consent in real-world practice. The dystopian elements serve as critique and cautionary framing, not instruction or endorsement.

Perfect for readers who appreciate:

•Cosmic horror in the Lovecraftian tradition
•Speculative erotica that takes ideas seriously
•Audio drama and performance scripts
•Intelligent exploration of power and consent
•Work that refuses easy categorization

This is not pornography disguised as literature, nor literature ashamed of its sexuality. This is horror that understands desire, and erotica that embraces the uncanny.

Season 1 is complete. The scripts are here. The dreams are waiting.
