“Less is Morgue” A Praeps Collective Production
Less is Morgue is an award-winning comedy fiction podcast that’s equal parts hilariously offbeat and unexpectedly heartfelt. At its core are two unlikely co-hosts: Riley, a paranoid and somewhat abrasive ghoul, and Evelyn, a bubbly ghost whose life ended in spectacularly ironic fashion at a Nickelback concert in 2004.

Set in an alternate version of Tallahassee, Florida, where monsters roam freely and the paranormal is perfectly ordinary, the show delivers a wild mix of absurdist horror-comedy and heartfelt storytelling. Each episode introduces a parade of delightfully eccentric characters—from zombies and vampires to otherworldly entities—all while exploring surprisingly relatable themes. Beneath the layers of chaos and dark humor, Less is Morgue weaves…
