Toronto Gothic
‘Toronto Gothic' is a series of theatre-of-the-mind audio dramas of horror, the thrilling, the erotic (& the thread that binds the three) set in the city of Toronto.
But it’s also gentle storytelling, of whimsy, & the things that make this city so sweet & delightful (so it’s a little something for everyone)

Adelaide
“You’ve awoken in a building, on the ground floor lobby, bloodied, boarded up from the outside, falling apart in the dark, with no memory of who you are, the dark passageways breathing with dissonance, all elevators at ground floor waiting, possessing in equal parts, a desire to investigate & to escape.”

A Quick Word
As I’m sure you’ve seen elsewhere on the site (specifically at Emergency Fundraiser for Salim — VMH) my brother Salim has Stage 4 Liver Cirrhosis. Without a liver transplant soon, he will die.
He’s been on the waiting list for almost two years. His work has now moved him to long-term disability and that affects his benefits as well for very expensive medication. The financial strain on him is only exacerbating his condition.
We’ve been running a fundraiser for him, but it’s going pretty slow lately. We’ve also set up a campaign to help find him a living liver donor, but there are layers of bureaucracy that make it challenging to receive a transplant from a living donor in this country.
The fundraiser is for his rent, food & medication but more, it’s to buy us enough time to find him that living liver donor to save his life. If we can cover his expenses for the next two months, I can spend more time searching for a living liver donor to not only help him, but raise awareness for many others in our country who are in need of a transplant to save their lives (& how someone can help by being a living donor)
I know it’s hard out there. I know of the financial uncertainty of things. But if everyone reading this donated $25 or more to him, it buys him that time for me to find him that living liver donor and we save his life.
