In the midst of the Great Depression, a Los Angeles detective lands a case that seems too good to be true. But his client is connected to a big-budget motion picture, "The Blood Red Sphinx" and the odd mystic behind the production. Can one man make a stand against a web of Hollywood intrigues, or is the world doomed by rising shadows?

NOTE: This will be our first DART episode that does NOT contain a CD of the audio. Customers can choose either a download of the audio with props sent via post, or just a download of the audio drama (no props). There is no CD version of The Blood Red Sphinx. 

SECOND NOTE: The Blood Red Sphinx is a traditional Dark Adventure show - it is NOT interactive; you just turn it on and listen. It is longer than most episodes as it whisks you into the gritty underbelly of Tinseltown during the Great Depression.

FAQ

Q: Why isn't this episode on CD?

A: The Blood Red Sphinx will be over 90 minutes long, which means it is too big to fit on a CD. But it's not quite long enough to justify a second CD.

Q: Are you abandoning physical media forever?

A: We have made no such decision, but even this episode still comes with physical media. In fact, we're adding extra props for The Blood Red Sphinx.

Q:  Does the HPLHS make use of AI in creating this or other DART shows?

A: All Dark Adventure Radio Theatre shows are created without the use of artificial intelligence. We do not use such tools for writing, performances, music or illustration. We engage the services actual human beings for all of these jobs.
