Fantastic!!!

I was hooked from the first episode. The writing, the voice acting, the storytelling, the drama, are all part of what makes this podcast great. Harlan Guthrie has crafted a masterpiece of horror, and intrigue.

A creative endeavor of cosmic horror

I began Malevolent in 2023 during a binge of getting into other horror podcasts. It made me read the King In Yellow and annotate it, it made me create fanart, and it made me cry during certain moments with how much it resonated with me. Harlan Guthrie is a wonderful, creative, passionate, and all in all the most ambitious person to have made this astounding and terrifying podcast. He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, and he makes me insane when I try to predict what will happen next. Please give Malevolent a listen, it will be so worth it.

this podcast makes my brain explode (in a good way)

I wasn't sure what I was getting into starting this podcast, but it blew me away and quickly become one of my favorites I've listened to! The voice acting and sound design are amazing and pull you right into the scene. The characters feel so real and complex, and you really feel for them when they succeed or fail at something. I loved seasons 3 and 4, and am planning to do a re-listen now that I'm caught up. So looking forward to how the story continues! Oh, and Arthur and John is my beloved little blorbos, I love them and their relationship so much!!
