The Juniper Suite

The Juniper Suite is a semi-fictional recorded monodrama, which chronicles the story of a protagonist through their journey of love, loss, demonic possession, and pyromania.

This is a journey through a year of unraveling—from sun-drunk summer to the bitter cold of winter, from the grip of something monstrous to the tentative promise of spring. It's about the person we become when we stop caring, and the fight to find our way back.
