Slow burn, but needs editing
The first half of the opening chapter showed a lot of promise, and there is an attempt at a slow burn style horror story, just not the best example of that narrative style I’ve come across. The voice acting was great, which is what you hope for with a stacked cast but don’t always get - screen acting and voice acting being so different, but this group did a great job. My biggest issue with the production is with the writing. I understand everyone has a style that they cling to; but, here it use felt sophomoric. A lot of repeated phrasing (How many times can Ruby “stab her hand into the dark”?) and an overuse of what I can only guess the author meant to be nicknames (the pale woman, the lanky man, the gaunt man, etc.) when we already know the character’s names. It just led to the narration of a scene becoming overly complicated and sometimes confusing.

Straight-up the scariest podcast I’ve listened to. Great story, top notch voice acting, and awesome sound editing. Listen with earbuds for an even more immersive experience. Love it!

Will Patton and Vincent D’Onoforio, what more can be said! They really elevate the calibre of the story telling. The story is good, lots of mystery and spookiness.

This is one of the scarest stories I've ever listened to. It's human and inhuman in all the best ways. I highly recommend it.Read full review »
