THE APOCRYPHA VAULT
PODCAST
1990–1988 THE BLACK RAZOR — Recovered Draft — 71,000 words. 7.5 hours long. This is the earliest surviving version of The Black Razor Chronicles, reconstructed from dot-matrix printouts, unruly OCR, and an over enthusiastic AI. It loosely mirrors the trajectory of Books 1–4, but with different characters, events, and tone. Consider it an alternate universe—distinct, strange, and well worth hearing.
2008 — CULLEN AVEN — 168,000 words (approximately 16.5 hours). This was the cornerstone novel, establishing the foundation for the entire series. It follows the same overarching story arc as books one through four, reimagined with different twists and ending. Coming soon. Very soon.
2011 – KRISTA SMITHY & CULLEN AVEN — Based loosely on books 5–11. A substantial 155,000 words (approximately 15.75 hours). This series introduced Krista Smithy and began her fuller development. Coming soon—later than Apocrypha II, but not far behind.
