brilliant mysterious stories, performed masterfully.

the greatest achievement is in the atmosphere created, through eerie, detailed tales and sublimely creepy and skilled sound design, artisanally wrought for maximum disquiet and intrigue.

fantastic

This is the most unique and well written and produced podcast I have ever come across

The Best Podcast Ever

Johnny Sims is an absolute maestro in writing this interwoven piece of horror genius. I loved every single episode, loved the metaplot-which was so wonderfully clever - and really fell in with the characters, both prptagonists and antagonists alike. If you like intelligent, big mythos horror, with a wonderfully diverse cast of audio drama superstars, this is absolutely for you. I laughed, I cried, I was heartbroken, I had nightmares. It's perfect. I need to listen to all five series again right now.

Can't wait to start all of it again!
