    Episode 6: The Hat.

    There is a garden at the top of the mountain. Nothing that grows there ought to, and it is very good at helping you forget who rode up beside you. Inside, two strangers follow a woman who could not care less, close enough to keep her in sight and far enough to keep their secrets.

    Downstairs, in a cold room, a man holds a bowl he has carried for eleven years and finally hears what he has been praying to. Somewhere above them, a crown waits to be sold, and the people who want it most have started calling it something smaller. Some things you carry up the mountain. Some you hand to the wrong keeper for years. Tonight, a few people take theirs back. Told in two voices. Come in. The garden will hold your coat.

    Contains strong language and mature themes.

    Episode 5 - The Record
    2026/10/15
    Vera Osskind of the Hopetown Gazette came up Carbowee Mountain to cover an auction. Wealthy eccentrics, a hotel nobody will discuss on the record, a society piece with a little blood in the margins. She has sources in three kingdoms, an invitation she doesn’t remember earning, and a notebook that has never once lied to her. Then the tramway stops in the worst storm the cable has ever seen. A detective, a vizier, and a woman in emerald satin wake up arguing. An old surgeon lays out his instruments and says nothing at all. And Vera does what she always does. She writes it down. The trouble with the Mors Delectamenti Hotel is that it reads over your shoulder. And sooner or later, it starts writing back.

    The Mors Delectamenti Hotel is Season 3 of the Excuse Us universe: a 1933 horror audio drama told one guest at a time. Contains mature themes, language, and graphic content. Listener discretion advised.

    The Cover (Side A)
    You might have heard eight tapes. You have never heard this reel. In a room with no number at the top of the Mors Delectamenti Hotel, a captive knight sits across the table from a reel-to-reel recorder that talks back. It calls itself Lou Phillips. It used to work in radio. It has notes, and the first one is brutal: too sane, burn it, nobody climbs a mountain for sane. Side A takes you behind the first four tapes: the burned takes, the talk between takes, and the long, strange business of manufacturing a summons in a voice that isn't quite his own. There's a bartender who tells the same joke wrong on purpose, a Manager who hums a lullaby older than the building's ledgers, and an invitation on cream stock requesting the pleasure of his company. At brunch. Everything records. Whether it happened is a mixing decision. Side B picks up with Track Five.

    THE MORS DELECTAMENTI HOTEL — Episode Two: "The Vizier" A man who has spent thirty years deciding which version of events is permitted to survive is now making a record of his own. By choice, he insists. On a device he carried up the mountain himself. Izlanor Leohanart, Royal Vizier to the Principality of Vintenshad, ascends Carbowee Mountain in a private carriage, stripped of his wards at the gate, permitted to keep only a book and a recorder. He has been to this hotel before. He knows what stands on the summit. He knows what is appointed to occur beneath it tonight. And he is climbing anyway, because the only alternative is to remain at a gate in the cold and say aloud the reason he cannot. Three weeks ago, a knight of the Cerulean Academy played him a recording of a young man's voice and studied his face to learn what it would do. The knight recorded what he saw as a confession. Let him. The second guest checks in. The vizier does not remain at gates. The hotel has been expecting him — it remembers all its guests, especially the ones who insist they are only here on business of the crown.

  • THE HAWK OF VINTENSHAD — A Special Episode

    THE HAWK OF VINTENSHAD — A Special Episode
    2026/07/07
    THE HAWK OF VINTENSHAD — A Special Episode In 1961, a folklorist named Emeric Sallow published the only study ever written of the folk culture of Vintenshad: the proverbs, fables, hymns, and nursery songs of a small mountain principality that taught its children to be still beneath the bird. The book was withdrawn by its publisher within eleven months. No reason was ever given. Sallow returned to the region in 1962 to complete his fieldwork and was never seen again. This is that book, read aloud, reproduced as found. Listeners of The Mors Delectamenti Hotel may notice that the tales of Vintenshad are peopled, over and over, by the same small company of figures: a stranger who comes to watch, a counsellor with a soft voice, a second son sent away, a house on a hill that asks so little of its guests. Sallow noticed it too. The name changes. The hawk does not.

    THE MORS DELECTAMENTI HOTEL — Episode One: "The Arrival"
    Excuse Us, Season Three Short (Spotify/Apple): June 15th, 1933. Nadine Luttrell — disgraced detective, exile, father to a daughter he has never held — takes a cable car up a bad mountain because a stranger's voice on a recording asked him to come and get him now. At the top waits the Mors Delectamenti: a hotel on Carbowee Mountain that curates its guests, pours a drink the colour of old garnets, and does not intend to let anyone leave. A doctor unmakes himself between one breath and the next. An inspector predicts a return that sounds too much like a memory. And beneath the Blood Moon, a cult called the Voraxi prepares to open a dead man's door. Nadine has a pardon he wants, a mission he chose, and no idea yet that the door he walks through tonight is one he will one day open himself. Lena. Ewan. The mission. In that order.
