What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This series was a great surprise. One of the best modern adaptations I’ve read or otherwise, listened to. The character development and freshness of the story made this a podcast I was truly enthralled with. The only bad part was it being finished.

This was riveting. The Lovecraft style of drawing out menace interminably not only works in the podcast format, it is arguably improved by it. And Alun Armstrong and Adam Godley?! Yes, please!

Felt so lucky when I found this series. I love a good audio fiction but so many of them struggle with writing, or acting, or anything else. This is so good all the way through. Miss it!!

katsuery · Oct 2025

Love this! Just when I thought I had ran out of excellent concepts that are well written and produced and paced and interesting.. here was another solid win from the BBC Radio 4 channel and the crew who created this.
