What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I re-listen to every season and reread the book once a year. I love the way the world is slowly revealed and the creepy vibes. The voice acting is top notch! Love love love it

Mochi anne · Nov 2024

I love stepping into this world over and over again and noticing things I missed and how the stories are connected. The stories are beautiful. Truly an experience like no other. I just finished season 7 again and it makes me cry every time. It feels like a warm hug, a welcome home. I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Personally, my favorite seasons are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and I can’t wait for 9. The book (you feel it just below the ribs) adds so much to the world. I hope you enjoy.

Megan Maruzo · Oct 2024

Simply a masterful show that again shows the unique nature of audio fiction. It's the slowest of slow burns with lots of connective parts, and one I found immensely satisfying.

I’m still Evo Terra · Sep 2024

PLEASE, if you’re reading this listen to season 1, but don’t let her voice put you to sleep, because there is a plot. Season 1 is an impeccable piece of media that truly changed me. It will rip your heart out and gently sew it back together. Nothing is what it seems. Season 2 is also really great, similarly a slow progression. The other seasons are fine, but the first two are gems.
