  • Spooky yet cool

    I got into horror podcasts last year and I have enjoyed the genre ever since, during December I discovered this podcast, and it was spine chillingly good. I recommend this podcast for listening to during solo gaming sessions.

  • Long time listener

    I’ve listened to this podcast for a while and am a huge lover of horror. The stories are well written and very well told. But this last episode was on another level. Great story. Well sequenced I saw the entire thing in my head as it was told.

  • Awsome to AI

    This used to be a very good show, one of my favorites. Then I noticed the pattern. It all sounds like an AI story. Listen for the constant describing words, weird openings, and the way the people in the stories act off. Please, do not support these stories
