“This show is amazing! I am so happy that it is a mostly feminine cast as I get really sick of all the male dominated horror fiction out there. Very well written! But you left us on a cliff hanger! Come back to us with the next season!”

“Started out very good! But by episode 14 I felt like I was losing the thread and I didn’t care. Read someone else stopped at episode 22 so figured it’s not worth the slog. Pacing is very important.”

“The premise of the story being told is interesting, but it moves way too slow and seems to drag at times. I find myself losing interest and not caring what happens to the characters.”

“A great premise, but the episodes get weaker as you go, which makes me think the creators were creating the story as they went instead of starting with the end in mind. In other words, good idea, poor execution.”

“Thank you and thank you for a story and a clever approach that presumes we have at least a fair degree of intelligence. Just discovered Mabel and am very impressed and pleased. Going to feel it out a bit more before I commit by Patreon (have made that mistake before) but so far really good.”

“Made the mistake of listening to the first episode on the anniversary of my grandma’s death so that was kind of a bummer would not recommend you do that probably great any other day of the year
I’ll probably try it again later but right now it’s just a real bummer”

“This is a show I can finish and immediately return to episode one of. Yes that’s partially because I’m so confused that I learn more and discover more each time, but it’s also the atmosphere, the goosebumps, the absolute humanity of it all. This podcast is a companion to me and I love it for that.”

“I loved the first season, but I’m starting to think the plot won’t be moving forward anytime soon - kind of hard to follow and the best way to describe it is that there’s nothing for me to hold on to.
It’s becoming harder and harder to pay attention.
All that said, the first handful of...”Read full review »

“This is a small jewel. Mostly it’s a one-actor show with a really haunting, original script. It’s not goofy or silly, no action hero figures, just a spooky other-worldly mystery, and a meditation on female friendship. Love the acting. Thank you for this podcast!”

“I really was hopeful with this podcast. It lost me. I have no idea what is going on (I stopped at ep. 18). The plot doesn’t go anywhere. The narrator (“Ana”) needed a better actress. Honestly I just got frustrated with it so decided to find a different podcast. Not for everyone I guess.”
