The Madame Psychosis show (ix)
‘The leukodermatic. The xanthodantic. The maxillofacially swollen. Those with distorted orbits of all kinds. Get out from under the sun’s cove-lighting is what this says. Come in from the spectral rain.’ Madame Psychosis’s broadcast accent is not Boston. […] Her voice itself is sparely modulated and strangely empty, as if she were speaking from inside a small box.
Context
Madame Psychosis reading the U.H.I.D. come-on over the air while Mario listens crouched at the HmH speaker: spectral weather for people who live as specters, delivered in a voice "strangely empty, as if she were speaking from inside a small box" — about as close to coffin-acoustics as a radio description gets. The theme's benign middle register: a presence in the room with no body attached.
