RECENT REVIEWS:
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 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.

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.
More! More! Love this style of story telling.
I listened to my first show, The Ride, and I can not contain my excitement for the next show!! The sound was epic! The actors were phenomenal! And the story was engaging, entertaining, and thrilling! I am a huge fan of Campfire Radio and want to shout out to them a big thanks because I never would have found this podcast otherwise. Thank you for all that you do! This podcast makes for a great date night by the fire or listening from anywhere at anytime. I especially thank you for making my 45 minute commute something I look forward to rather than dread! Huge applause!!
Beautiful for the ears. Great stories.
The writing is so good you’re enthralled and held by the plot and conversations. Original story lines. More please!!!

GREAT SHORT STORIES. Can't wait for more 💙💙💙
The acting, production values and stories are all pretty incredible. Really looking forward to hearing more!

Incredible sound design, excellent performances. If you see me lingering in the car after arriving home, I’m finishing a new episode.
;) - nicely put together, great sound and performances. Great work Jeff!
Good thing I didn´t jump forward on the recommendation for this show on another feed! Absolutely thrilling to listen to and extremely great production all over (by ONE guy!)
Addicted and only 2 episodes
I heard your guys preview on another podcast and just that had my jaw on the FLOOR!! This is sooo good I’m so excited for more episodes!! You guys really know what you’re doing and how to cater to a specific audience that usually doesn’t get much! Thank you to the whole team for being so talented.
Jeff is an audio wizard, so to see him take that and magnify that for his own projects is thrilling to behold. This series is going to be revolutionary!
