If you’re seeking to be truly scared, then you’ve found it in After Dark. It’s so unsettling, I’m often only able to listen to one episode at a time. These carefully curated short stories are excellent. Well done!
I never write reviews but this podcast is amazing. The narrators voice is amazing to listen to anytime of the day or night. Definitely one of my top 3 fiction series.
