7TH SON: OBSIDIAN (2008)

In 2008, J.C. Hutchins invited the most prominent storytellers in podcast fiction — and 7th Son fans across the globe — to contribute to 7th Son: Obsidian, an innovative audio and video fiction anthology set in the 7th Son universe.

Obsidian, an innovative “in world” addition to the 7th Son trilogy, tells the tale of the nationwide blackout seen briefly in 7th Son: Destruction. More than 100 authors and fans contributed content to this project. Obsidian was a history-making experience; it was the first time in podcast fiction where the lines between author and audience were fundamentally blurred in this way.

While these tales of survival were crafted as stand-alone stories, J.C. Hutchins recommends listening to the 7th Son trilogy in its entirety before experiencing Obsidian.
