Pictures of a Lavender House - Picture One: The House

A young queer writer named Mae decides to spend some time alone at a B&B to escape her writer’s block, and finds herself increasingly ensnared in the otherworldly house. Every little thing is a curiosity, but are the unusual things about the house simply unusual, or are they more?

In each chapter, Mae explores another facet of the house, writing poems and momentary essays in an attempt to find purpose.

Written by Bex Brzostoski for the Aster Podcasting Network, 2020, and coproduced with the University of San Francisco College Players.

This episode features the voice talents of: Janelle Malonzo as Mae, Kelsea Villanueva as Cherry, Dylan Vodzak as Laverna, Eli Ramos as Doubleday, and Gabriella Brzostoski as Gary the cat.
