Most authors pick a favorite monster and stay loyal to it. Not for one of the most talented writers, D.E. Dietz. She wrote three different ones in a single Halloween season. Out of the 10 episodes in MagicWave’s #MWWickedHunt series, she penned Episode 3, Episode 8 and Episode 10, giving us a manipulative vampire lord, a sultry siren and Frankenstein’s monster with his bride. Each one flips a classic creature into something far more seductive than legends allow.

If you’re wondering which of her episodes to start with, or you just want to know what goes on behind the scripts, this guide walks through all three. We’ve also pulled in some of Dietz’s own words from her Reddit post, because she’s every bit as entertaining as her characters.

One Author, Three Very Different Monsters

Each of Dietz’s episodes has a different mood and a different kind of heat, but they share the same instincts. The creatures are dangerous, the dialogue is witty, and every one of them is far more interested in your reaction than in simply taking what they want. Since the full series has 10 episodes by several writers, her three stand out as a fun mini tour of gothic monster romance.

Dietz is the first to admit how much fun she’s having. In her post, she describes the move from novels to audio roleplay scripts this way:

“So, apparently, writing books wasn’t enough for me. I decided I needed to get into a little more trouble.”

That playful energy runs through every story. The banter is quick, the characters are self-aware, and the stories never take themselves so seriously that you forget to enjoy them.


Episode 3: The Vampire Lord’s Bargain

A rainy estate, a glass greenhouse and an ancient lord with impeccable manners and a very specific request. He doesn’t want your life. He wants one little bite and he’d like to negotiate for it. This story leans into the classic gothic archetype, the reclusive aristocrat with a lethal reputation. He jokes about sunlight ruining his complexion, waves off the garlic myths and acts entirely too confident for a man who is, technically, offering a trade.

The hook for many listeners is the venom. It works as a supernatural aphrodisiac that melts fear and pride into pure heat, which gives the story a guilt free kind of surrender. The thunderstorm beating on the glass roof adds a cozy but dangerous backdrop, and the audio captures every detail of the bite itself. HowlVA balances aristocratic poise with a low, rumbling dominance, which is exactly what the role needs.

Dietz had a field day with the premise:

“Because when a vampire offers you a deal involving his mouth and your neck, I’m sure he has absolutely NO ulterior motives.”

She also admits she loves writing a vampire “who knows exactly what he wants and isn’t above using a little manipulation to get it.” Then she heard the finished performance:

“And then HowlVA got his hands on the script. Good LORD.”


Episode 8: Singing You Into Submission

Sirens are meant to drag people under. This one hauls you out of black water, breathes air back into your lungs and then decides, very slowly, what a rescue is worth. The story starts on a misty shore, with a cliff fall behind you and a creature below ready for rescue. As she claims.

What sets it apart is the way the old siren myth gets turned on its head. Traditional sirens were shipwreck bait, the sort of thing you’d plug your ears against. Modern monster romance keeps the voice and the hunger but adds the beauty of consent. This siren swaps your pain for something warmer, steps back to ask what you actually want and refuses to confuse gratitude with consent. It ends with real aftercare, which is a lovely and fairly rare touch in audio erotica. Valentina Vallay’s smooth, hypnotic delivery makes the humming, the praise and the teasing feel like they’re happening right under your skin.

Dietz has strong opinions about this particular monster:

“And can we just acknowledge that sirens are seriously underrated when it comes to sexy, terrifying supernatural creatures?”

She goes on to ask why everyone talks about vampires and werewolves when a creature “who can lure you in with her voice and make you forget every ounce of common sense you possess” is sitting right there. Her verdict? “COME ON.” We have no counterargument.


Episode 10: Between the Monster and His Bride

Now for the gothic finale of the whole series. A clocktower, nine districts of running behind you and two very curious creatures waiting at the top. The Creation is protective, restrained and quietly aching to be seen as more than his stitches. The Bride is playful, bold and openly envious of your unmarked skin. You’re stuck right between them, with a gate that won’t open until you’ve answered one simple question: stay, or go?

This is the most tender threesome of the whole series. The story puts a lot of weight on consent, checking in before every touch and promising that the gate opens the moment you ask. The sound design is a treat too, with turning gears, tolling bells, crackling static and a platform that shudders in time with the clock. There’s jealousy, obsession and a twist at the very end that reframes the whole town. We won’t spoil it, but it makes a fitting close to the entire Halloween series.

It’s also a standout for dual performances. Boons and Nevermore play off each other beautifully, trading teasing lines and finishing each other’s sentences, and the stereo performances make it feel like you’re standing in the middle of the room. Dietz loves this kind of setup:

“I love writing scenes where characters have to interact with more than one personality, especially when those personalities have their own motives and issues with each other.”

She also notes, with some amusement, that Frankenstein’s monster having relationship problems is “not exactly new,” but she “certainly had fun adding to them.”

Boons who voiced The Bride shared:

I think it was a fun opportunity to portray Bride as something a bit vulnerable and not just crazed, adding some sensuality to her and playing opposite a devoted partner gave a halloween script a really fun twist. I don't know that she would naturally have a smooth, rich voice given how she was created, but I decided that's what she sounded like in her own head at least, and maybe to Frankenstein's Monster too.

What It’s Like Writing for Audio

If you’ve ever wondered how a novelist adapts to scripts, Dietz explains it well. In a book, she can describe everything. In audio, the whole story has to be carried by sound:

“With an audio script, I have to think more about how something sounds. Will that line feel natural when someone says it out loud? Does the conversation flow?”

She also points out that she’s flexing a different creative muscle, thinking about “pacing, dialogue, sound cues, and how to make a scene work when the listener can’t actually see what’s happening.” That perspective explains why her stories land so well in headphones. Every scene is built around what you can hear, from the greenhouse thunderstorm to the siren’s hum to the clocktower bell.

Her favorite part of the process is hearing it performed. She describes sitting there thinking, “Holy crap. I wrote that.” Then she adds, “And yes, sometimes I laugh at my own dialogue. Don’t judge me.”

Which Dietz Episode Should You Listen to First?

  • Pick The Vampire Lord’s Bargain (Episode 3) if you love classic gothic tropes, a dramatic negotiation and a dominant who is far too pleased with himself.

  • Pick Singing You Into Submission (Episode 8) if you want sapphic monster romance, slow burn sensation play and real aftercare.

  • Pick Between the Monster and His Bride (Episode 10) if you’re after a gothic threesome, stereo voices and a twist ending.

If you can’t choose, you’re in good company. Dietz herself says, “I refuse to choose between my monsters. That just seems rude.”

Meet the Voices Behind the Monsters

A great script only goes so far in audio. It takes the right voice to turn a line on the page into something that gives you goosebumps, and each of Dietz’s three episodes found different performers.

  • HowlVA as the Vampire Lord (Episode 3)

        HowlVA plays the ancient lord of the estate with the kind of polished, old world poise you’d expect from someone who has had centuries to perfect his manners. Every line is polite, measured and just a little smug, which makes the shift into a deep, rumbling dominance even more effective. He’s equally at home delivering playful banter about sunlight and garlic and then dropping into heavy, strained breathing once the venom takes hold. The result is a vampire who sounds both refined and dangerously hungry. Dietz crafts a story that leans heavily into the sensual side of horror. By focusing on the intimate connection between predator and prey, Dietz creates a compelling narrative where fear is expertly melted down into pure, undeniable pleasure. She shared:

      Writing this script was a blast because I love a good vampire story, especially when the vampire knows exactly what he wants and isn't above using a little manipulation to get it.

        Dietz adores hearing the final product and was really happy with HowlVA's performance:

      Hearing someone actually perform the lines you've written is such a strange and wonderful experience. I know what I pictured when I wrote the character, but listening to someone give him a voice and personality is something else entirely.

      I may have grinned like an idiot.

      Okay, I absolutely did.


  • Valentina Vallay as the Siren (Episode 8)

        Valentina Vallay brings a smooth, hypnotizing quality to the siren that suits the role perfectly. Her voice is calm and steady while she’s pulling you out of the water and healing your bruises, then turns teasing, commanding and finally wonderfully breathless as the story heats up. The humming is a highlight, since it carries so much of the episode’s magic and sounds like it’s vibrating right against your skin. The praise, the check-ins and the aftercare all feel warm and sincere, which is a big reason the siren comes across as a gentle dominant instead of a threat. Dietz praises Valentina's performance, noting "I love that a female voice actor got to bring this particular character to life."


  • Boons and Nevermore as the Creation and His Bride (Episode 10)

        The clocktower finale is a true duet, and it works because Boons and Nevermore feel like a real couple. Boons gives the Creation a low, restrained voice that sounds like it’s holding something back, with quiet sincerity in the moments where he talks about being seen for more than his stitches. Nevermore’s Bride is playful, bold and openly curious, with a teasing laugh and a vulnerable edge that surfaces when she talks about envying unmarked skin. When they overlap, interrupt each other and trade lines from opposite sides, the stereo performances put you right in the middle of the platform, between the gears and the static. It’s the kind of chemistry that can’t be faked.
