In 2018, famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes. Detective Sam Bailey is tasked with piecing together what happened to Anna Sheridan from the seemingly impossible encounters she recorded, but as the scattered pieces of the puzzle come together, Bailey discovers that the picture is even stranger – and more dangerous – than it seemed.

  • no direction

    The story has lots of potential, but doesn't seem to have any direction. Sometimes the characters seem found in. And I'm not sure I understand why it was important for the lead actor to use an entire episode to come out as transgender. people listen to fiction because it's fiction not because they want to hear about identities. Suspension of belief is difficult when we know too much about what's going on behind the scenes.

  • 🏜Horrific Fiction Classic

    Brilliant claustrophobic horror podcast; stellar writing; disturbing BGM. The actress playing Anna is actually quite good, despite the negative comments - she does monologue acting, with nothing to work with, not even a mouse or a small stream flowing beside her in the mines... considering how difficult monologue acting is, I thought she did a terrific job - but to those who disagree I can only say that YES - It would be great if Homestead could’ve hired Meryl Streep to play Anna, but she demand... more

  • Almost Awesome

    Alternate title: LGBTQ Scooby-Doo. This show has so many fantastic elements. It has an overarching mystery peppered with interconnected creepy pastas. It’s Stranger Things meets The Twilight Zone. Very fun when it’s fun. Unfortunately a large portion of the time, it’s just characters whining to themselves about their post-teen angst. Those episodes are about as engaging as an emo kid’s diary. But it does sort of have a “dust yourself off and do hard things” message despite that.
