“Having now listened to all the episodes, I can say that Liz Sower is a great storyteller and an engaging host. She is able to easier convey dread and fear juxtaposed with humor throughout. Sure, there are times when she doesn’t follow her own history or continuity, but it helps to think of this...”Read full review »

“This lovely lady is just the perfect stand in for every mid 30’s -mid 40’s mom in suburbia; she is kind, fascinating, and vulnerable in just the right way. Liz is the Angela Lansbury of quiet, cozy horror.
I listen when I have boring things to do and if I didn’t have this podcast my house would...”Read full review »

“This is my favorite podcast. It totally immerses me into the fictional Wellsley where I can feel like a fly on the wall of the "neighbors" houses. Liz is giving Stephen King a run for his money. Actually, her story telling may be better! I relisten to the podcast every Halloween. I only...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to Liz Sower for a couple of months now. The stories are so good!! Her voice is so friendly!! Her tales are cosy, scary, informative, relatable, human and NOT human!!! I can’t believe how Ms Sower does not run out of great ideas, and paints a whole world in Wellesley, MA,...”Read full review »

“Good podcast, but stopped listening once I realized she’s a woke social justice warrior spreading lies and propaganda. Just keep your political opinions out of story telling. Go woke, go broke. So gross.”

“I am on my 3rd straight through listen of all the episodes.

I may not relate at all to the Wellesley way of...”Read full review »
