comment
Death by Dying is a dark comedy fiction podcast, created by Evan Gulock and Niko Gerentes, that serves as the obituary column for the charming town of Crestfall, Idaho. The Obituary Writer (voiced by Evan Gulock) finds himself deeply in over his head as he investigates a series of strange and mysterious deaths... when he is supposed to simply be writing obituaries. Along the way he encounters murderous farmers, man-eating cats, haunted bicycles, and a healthy dose of ominous shadows.The podcast finished its first season in October of 2018, which was followed by a live show at Chicago Podcast Festival 2018. The show has since released a crossover with SCP Archives and three side stories called Tales from Creastfall with the last one ending with a teaser for Season 2. Season 2 was successfully funded in April 2021 and released its first two episodes in October 2022.

Frame-Up: The first episode has two examples. First, Bernard shot her husband Wyatt Hudson and framed the Wild Man for the murder. Then her lover Marion pretends to have been tortured by Wyatt to ruin his reputation so he and Bernard can marry without upsetting the townsfolk who loved Wyatt.

comment
Downer Ending: Season one ends with Charlotte killing herself to bring back her Aunt Lillian however the Angel of Life breaks her promise to do so and when the Obituary Writer tries to bring Lillian back she refuses and Charlotte's soul runs away before she can be revived. Somewhat mitigated by the Obituary Writer vowing to bring her back but it's implied that her death has shattered him emotionally.

comment
Bathos: The primary source of comedy in the series, the sheer amount of death plaguing Creastfall would usually make the series very dark but the absurdity of everything makes it funny. Examples include ghosts manifesting as gangs of riderless bicycles to the Button Eyed Raven screaming random bleak Non Sequiturs
