Dead Belt: True Tales of the Gasping Frontier is a list of audio transcripts for the space-folk horror anthology podcast of skillful and desperate scavengers picking over the remains of the junked starships caught in the gravity of the supermassive black hole, SAG-A. Here, you'll hear the tales of strange happenings on the fringe of settled space...the kind of thing the Terran Concordiat don't much want you to know: Close encounters, weird happenings, narrow escapes, and lonesome deaths far beyond the stars we know. Drawing on old mariner's tales from the oceans of Earth, filk tradition, and the superstition and ghost stories of the American West, Dead Belt is written for those that know that when we push out among the darkness between the stars, sometimes it pushes right on back.

Soon, Constance will have to flee her home and the path she will take to save her kingdom, might lead to places far more terrible than she had ever imagined.
