About this listen

In this scripted comedy/sci-fi Audible Original, a quick-witted young blogger turned investigator, Cassie (Sophie McShera) travels to the sleepy English countryside, only to discover a paranormal threat beyond humanity’s worst nightmares.

Following a strange event, frustrated British paranormal researcher, Cassie Chambers is thrown together with uptight American, Glen Hedley (Adam James), an agent for a shady government organization. This mis-matched duo soon discover, not only do they have a mystery to uncover, but also they’re humanity’s only defense against malign ultra-terrestrials from a different dimension. With interfering locals, obstructive bosses and a fanatical cult getting in the way, and only Cassie’s best friend Amanda (Mandeep Dhillon) as reliable help, Cassie & Glen must figure out why this unique enemy is here and turn it back before it’s too late - for all of us.

Also starring:

Mandeep Dhillon as Amanda

Amit Shah as Barry

Javone Prince as The Clockmaker

Nina Wadia as The Anchoress

    The adventure begins when Cassie and Amanda unearth a recording of mysterious happenings in a rural English village. After checking out the local hospitality (some good, some decidedly bad) Cassie finds herself in the kind of paranormal encounter she’s always dreamed of, alongside a mysterious government agent, Glen. However, Cassie’s excitement soon turns into a fight for her life.

    Back in the village, Cassie’s encounters of the previous night bring her face to face with an enraged local, who believes she’s a dark agent of a global conspiracy. Glen is determined to keep Cassie away from the evidence she stumbles across, but Cassie has other ideas. Meanwhile, the creatures Glen and Cassie encountered hatch a plan and Amanda embarks on a trip with a passenger who is not what she seems.

    Cassie and Glen try to contain the fallout of their argument – with further arguments. Unsurprisingly, this plan proves less than effective and something terrifying gains a foothold in our world. Amanda and her ‘friend’ wreak havoc in a motorway service station, leaving Amanda dependent on her breaking and entering skills. Cassie & Glen’s plight only gets worse when a new visitor arrives at the pub.

I was surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. Good fun, and plenty of much needed silliness. Can we have a sequel please?

Clever, funny and original. Great writing and great performances and effects. Best audio sci-fi comedy since Nebulous. I will also be purchasing Maclean's book The Apparition Phase based on the ideas and the script of this show. Please make more!

Wonderful! Best sci-fi comedy since Nebulous.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. It could be given to teens as well so I will reuse it. some sound effects are a little home made etc but look past this to the drama unfolding. a little like the ild TV series about strange things happening.
