RECENT REVIEWS:
Great stories and great performances!! Just can’t wait for more and MORE episodes!
One of the best podcasts out there right now! The story and storytelling are fantastic!!!
Love this podcast but I like following the transcripts and sometimes paragraphs are missing. I can’t always understand some words. No big deal and well worth it.
Great thrilling podcast episodes keep you on the edge of your seat
These are great stories and great production. I’ve been listening for hours today.
With PrincessPeach, hahahahaha! Great review, I concur. And I think Lazytitan may need spell check. My review • This show SLAPS. So imaginative in reworking classic slasher themes. Absolutely hilarious as well, which is a great bonus. Show has a crystal clear pov. Keep it coming!
Love this podcast amazing stories that are very well told! I look forward to the new release every week!
I was starving for a thriller, dark, drama type podcast and this exceeded expectations 😱😱. Keep up the amazing work!!!!
So well done!
The best adult, horror pod on the inter-webs! Can’t get enough!
The stories are unique, the writing flows naturally, and the voice acting and sound editing is top tier. The care put into every aspect of this podcast is so apparent. I look forward to every new release and I love replaying old episodes. Highly recommend!
Great story for gender fluid people. I id’ w straight characters so this is not my kind of podcast.
Voice acting and sound design is superb. A lot of horror podcasts are just people reading stories, but this podcast includes sound effects and well-timed spooky music. 5 stars!
I really enjoy these stories. Almost like a Twilight Zone meets Pulp Fiction 😊. Great acting. I listen to a lot of these as I commute a lot for work, and these actors are really good. I can feel the scenes as I’m listening. Characters are great. Only downside, and not awful, but I can hear the same voices in the stories. So takes me a minute to detach a character from a previous story.
I love this show! It feels like a safe space.
I LOVE this podcast. Stories so far are compelling and varied, the acting is great, every episode is like a treat for your twisted mind. Highly recommend!
In addition to immersive (and horror-inducing) scripts, the soundscape is superb! They employ varying audio effects that really put you in the moment. Love them!
Sooo spooky. Not for the sub-mature horror fan. Very well developed, acted, produced, and written. Creeped me the eff out. Way better, more professional than what others in the genre have to offer. Still feeling weird…
Just wow. From the story to the sound design, a genius at work.
One of the best fiction podcasts available. Highly recommended great content excellent writing and all star voice actors
The voice acting is absolutely amazing and I feel fully immersed with every story. This podcast genuinely sends chills down my spine. Each story is so different and I'm excited to see each new episode because no two are alike. These stories are so different from any other podcast I've listened to so I can never tell what's going to happen next. Keeps me on the edge of my seat
I really liked this podcast. The stories are interesting, the acting well done, and the background sounds realistic. Unfortunately they went NSFW about 5 episodes in. Wish they’d move away from the sex scenes and raunchy behavior. Can’t listen at work or while doing housework anymore.
I heard about this show from horror hill and downloaded it but hadn’t listened to it right away. I just binged all the episodes tonight and wow what an intense show. I liked every episode except one bc the actress was being annoying. The sound effects were top notch, stories were good and actors overall were phenomenal. It looks like the episodes don’t come out often which is a shame but I plan on donating so hopefully they will put out more often. I highly recommend this podcast
This show has been a favorite! I love audio dramas. Please keep up the amazing work. 5 stars!
Been waiting for a show like this my whole life. Best fictional horror podcast on earth
Great podcast, the acting, the sound is great the story telling is great also. Need more episodes now!!!!
This show is so Good! The episodes do not come out quick enough! I need more!! This show is dark, thrilling, and episodic, with shorts that are what I call "THINKERS." They keep me on the edge of my seat throughout and always have me contemplating the episode even after it ends.
I really love this show. I’m a new listener and listened to all in like aaaa day? Then was fortunate enough to have the monthly ep come out like a few days later. I’ve been itching for more!!!! I realllly loved Joyhaven, it’s less sexual than the others 🤣
This podcast is literally like a mash up of black mirror and silent hill 😱! Tune in, it’s definitely worth a listen 💯👍
Advice After Dark was a banger!!! What a great story👍👍
I found this podcast accidentally and holy moly am I happy I did. Amazing stories! Awesome voice acting! Everything about this podcast IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!! Listen to all of them 😊
I WANT MORE NOW!!!!
LOVE this!!! Wish there was more to binge!
This is GOOD!! Great writing, great voice acting, great production. Bingeing all episodes!
Love this Podcast
I came here as Fever Dreams : Pulp Collection suggested and I am so happy I did. The voice acting and production are amazing. My only downside is that I only have a few episodes to listen to!
I listen to Podcast while I work and they often become background noise just to pass the time. This Podcast had my full attention for every single episode. The disappointment I felt when I realized that I had listened to all the available episodes was surprising. Great stories, looking forward to hearing more.
One of the best audio dramas/series I’ve heard. So well produced and the cast is amazing. Wish we could get full series based off of the episodes
Excellent production, top notch. Phenomenal stories leave me wanting more episodes
Top level of editing and sound design/ quality
Great episodes. Well written, acted, and directed is the least I can say about this series. Do yourself a solid and give it a listen.
Today had one heck of an episode. Thrilling and chilling.
I love this podcast. Every story is unique and different and enthralling.
Can’t believe I only found this show now Incredible episode- I’m a fan now
Such an amazing radio drama styled podcast. You will get pulled in. The Audio and writing are all top notch. I can’t wait for what is to come. My new favourite!
I’m liking what I’ve heard so far
I am so glad I stumbled onto it. Hopefully, there will be more seasons.
This is a podcast filled with exciting, surprising thrillers and top notch voice acting and audio effects. It does a great job of putting you in the story. Highest recommendation.
The stories are amazing, and the voice acting and sound design are excellent. Can’t wait for more episodes.
I binged all 3 ep’s in a row and can’t wait for new ones. Great voice talent and stories. Fave new podcast.
