Deep Dream State is a full-cast dystopian sci-fi and desire horror audio drama by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. As the originating work of desire horror, it locates the uncanny inside wanting itself. While conventional horror positions you against a threat, desire horror implicates you in it. The horror emerges from recognition: the realization of why characters stay, and why surrender feels li... more

  • Seriously Nothing Like It!

    Truly unique podcast, with very original story lines. The perfect dark romance wrapped in a little satin bow. Enough spice to leave you satisfied, but not too much to the point it drowns out the story. It’s a perfect balance and Neural nails it every. Single. Time. You genuinely feel things for the characters, and every episode leaves you wanting more, and more, and more, as you drift off down the rabbit hole. Listen. Do it. You know you want to.

  • Very Unique and Brilliantly Orchestrated

    A favorite guilty pleasure of mine. Audio erotica is a lost fine art, and Neural Nets is bringing it back with full-cast dialog hotness in every single episode. If you enjoy fine adult audio drama with a sci-fi/fantasy/horror flare with as much quality acting as there is erotic fanfare, then look no further. You are home, and home is warm, wet, and inviting.

  • I’m obsessed

    This latest arc (arc 3 Sitri Center) has me hooked. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. This is unabashedly queer smut that passes the Bechdel test. What planet did this come from?
