  • Good podcast; Justine Eyre REALLY STINKS

    What are you folks -thinking having Justine Eyre read? Her voice is simply, and utterly excruciating. It is not really a matter of personal taste, yinz. It’s like listening to a fork being jammed into an in-sink-erator. Please: just have a little mercy. Good content though, so 4 stars!

  • Love of my life.

    My favorite podcast. I’ve listened for years. The calm spooky ambience is deeply atmospheric and is great for first calming the nerves and then getting the blood pumping as things ratchet up. Seriously I’d be lost without Nightmare. Check out their website. They have more audios and short stories. The best anthology pod you can find. The stories are beautiful and the va are a league apart. Side note: I’m glad the mag is getting some sponsors. Here’s to hoping they put the ads at the end to not i... more
