A signal passes through the cold night air like a mugger, silent and menacing. It creeps into your home, poisoning your radio against you with a story of romance and heartbreak, innocence lost, and unspeakable horror. The date on the calendar is as vague as the morality of this City, but one thing is certain: bad things are in store for one luckless gumshoe. This is Blake Skye: Private Eye.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blake Skye: Private Eye is a film noir inspired cosmic horror audio drama created by SJ Ryker, which centers around a private detective who takes a job that is more than he bargained for. It is heavily inspired by audio dramas of the time, as well as creators like Raymond Chandler and H. P. Lovecraft (without the horrible bigotry), and centers around themes of horror, mystery, drama, and romance. The podcast is also LGBTQIA+ friendly.The podcast is free to listen to, updates the last Sunday of every month, and can be found at their website or any of these outlets. |

Came Back Wrong |

comment |
Came Back Wrong: The few characters that have died and come back to life have had this happen to them. Characters that have made deals with Char Garrum, one of the Infinite Names, especially have this happen to them, as the consciousness from the body they steal from the Mirror Forest is still dominant. Blake has been subjected to the after effects of the Rites of Char Garrum fourteen times, and has had some personality issues. August, in a more extreme example, has had major personality fluxes that have persisted for longer than Blake's, despite only having died three times. |

Self-Destruct Mechanism: Downplayed. The previous owner of the Tantalus Theatre rigged explosives in the attic, which ended up proving useful in Episode 9. |

The Power of Language |

The Power of Language: Not only are many of the characters in the cast linguistics researchers, but dangerous power is wielded through the use of an ancient language. |

Killed Off for Real |
| | Blake Skye Private Eye (Podcast) / int_cda501da |
comment |
Killed Off for Real: Most characters that have died on the show fall into this trope. This gets zig-zagged for characters under the Rites of Char Garrum, or that have made deals with any of the Infinite Names. |

Blue-Collar Warlock |
| | Blake Skye Private Eye (Podcast) / int_d4c64fb7 |
comment |
Blue-Collar Warlock: Because the setting is a dirty city set in the Ambiguous 1930s/1940s, the spellcasters in the series are all otherwise normal people. Elenore Kostanski and later, Blake Skye himself are the two prime examples of this trope, being working-class, street-smart people who harness the language of V'roth to cast spells and incantations. |

Curbstomp Battle: In Episode 7, members of the O'Shae gang are sent to the Elephant's Heart to disrupt the operations of the Esoteric Order. Unfortunately, the Order had the Rat-King waiting there, and it slaughtered everyone Mickey sent and absorbed one of Mickey's men, eventually using his voice and memories against Blake and the others. |

Bad-Guy Bar: One of the two bars in the podcast, the Elephant's Heart, is where the antagonists gather. Elenore tells Blake in Episode 2 that August would often take her there to unwind after translating Sumerian funerary rites with his good friends, who are later revealed to be August's fellow members of the sinister Esoteric Order. |
