    Excellent long nite listen
    This was a beautiful show. Too bad only one season. I just finished the season again and I’ll do it again next year.

    2nd Season Please!
    This is far and away the favorite podcast of my wife and I. We revisit it every holiday season with the final episode on Christmas night. If ever a 2nd season should come to pass, please find a way for Malcolm McDowell to return. I would listen to him read the ingredients of a cereal box.

    Love this series
    Please pleas bring it back! I love the revival of the old Christmas tradition of telling scary stories by the fireside. This was done so well. I listen to it every year now. I’d love a session 2!

    Superb writing 👍🏻
    I know I am a little bit late to the game but I just found this show when I started getting back into podcast. And honestly it’s rare for me to ever consume any form of media that isn’t about true stories. Usually I find fiction shows as something that’s a waste of my time and brain space. But I decided to give something different a try and I have always enjoyed Lore and the written is Next level so I figured give one of his shows the chance to change my having. And let me just say… this entire show is amazing but I just listened to episode 5: You again. And the writing was perfection. Honestly it brought me to tears. And through a whole slew of other emotions. When something does that to me I have to give it the praise it deserves.

    Masterful storytelling
    Each story pulls you in, and I find myself on the edge of my seat. Love this series!! Very sad that there wasn’t a season 2. Please bring it back in 2024 and beyond.

    A different kind of ghost story
    This was truly wonderful to listen to! Ghosts represent different things in different types of stories. Sometimes grief, anger, or regret. Sometimes memories. But this one was really hitting on sadness, melancholy, and being tired/wanting rest it was really beautiful and worth listening to, and towards the end, when the framing device comes back into prominence, it really ties together/wraps up everything. Beautiful and satisfying. Worth listening to again.

    They/their/them
    I don’t listen to podcasts that play the pronoun game.
  • UbeyLord
    So Good!
    Binge-worthy! A heartfelt love letter to the afterlife and its uncertainties.
  • K67cfa
    Masterful!
    I haven’t felt so comforted, horrified and obsessed at the same time with a podcast in a long time. Every story has different nuance to the human experience that are masterfully woven and delivered. Amazing job!!!!
  • ~Sjr~!!!
    Amazing!!
    If you love this show as well try listening to him on 13 days of Halloween!
  • Amy6374
    Miss this!
    I hope season two is coming out. I absolutely fell in love with this.
  • Phmack
    So Good!!
    I cannot find another immersive fiction series that can compare! I hope there will be a season 2!!
  • KareBear1004
    Goosebumps. Unnerving and Intriguing.
    I binged every episode of this series during a work day, and my goodness. I wasn’t able to enjoy the 3D audio but the stories alone will unnerve you and have you wanting more. Gorgeously performed.
  • Sagebrush Ghost
    Beautiful and Spooky
    I loved this series so much! Honestly one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Gave me the chills while I cleaned out an airstream in 80 degree weather. And the last episode was so special.
  • ms villanova
    Story
    Second time listening to the whole thing over again! Can’t wait for a new season!
  • Soft Whisper
    Not immediately captivating
    The production sounds great. However, the story was not enough to draw me in. I’m not sure why the second guest told such a detailed story to people he didn’t know a couple of minutes into the first episode.
  • Beats4sale
    Terrible
    Lost me in the first 5 mins.
  • sbelle1992
    Love it. Can’t wait for season 2
    This is my 2nd run through & I absolutely love it. This form of storytelling is my recently discovered favorite.
  • KaiKeiks808
    Scary & Cozy
    Excellent storytelling and crisp sounds. A must listen each year for the holidays!
  • AMHAMH23
    Great series
    I love the series. Each story was unique and a great companion for my evening commute. The voice actors were engaging and the stories were compelling in different ways. Sort of sad to have finished it but I will treat myself to a second listen soon.
  • Sepharad1
    Bloated, dialogue.
    Q: “who are you?” A: “I was a nocturnal traveler” Our Traveler was beneath a “Goblin moon” This is more a series of gas filled speeches than any sort of conversation among individuals. No thank you.
  • mmmddss17
    Fantastic!
    I thoroughly enjoyed every story and the entire concept. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up several times. Malcolm McDowell’s voice was perfect. Also, loved the theme music.
  • Sandaker1
    Horrible
    It’s like the author is trying to hard. The story didn’t flow for me. And in didn’t really like the vice actors.
  • Cat140140
    Awesome but be warned
    Don’t listens with headphones if your cooking the warning is no joke I though I had set the sleeve of my shirt on fire for 2 seconds but awesome podcast
  • MrsBarron

  • Like a bug I love the light
    Captivating

  • Chickpea 1335
    A sensory delight! Victorian Ghost Stories with a modern twist!!
    Amazing as always. This series captures the imagination and sends you on an adventure with feel of sitting around the fire and telling ghosts stories. Love it!
  • Khelben2
    Creepy Tradition to Continue
    Malcolm McDowell was pitch perfect here. Will likely revisit these 12 stories next year as they were very well done & perfectly creepy
  • Erivershill
    Captivating
    This was a great listen! The stories were so enthralling, and the sound so immersive. Each character was so impressive. One of my favorites was the taxi driver. Malcom McDowell was a gem! His voice is one in a million. Highly recommend if you love storytelling.
  • Ariana. Gonz
    Clicking noise
    Is that the sound of fire cracking? What’s with the clicking/tapping? I can’t get past it. I tried. It could be so wonderful if not for the clicking or tapping sound? What is it??!! I made it to episode 4 and I couldn’t get past the first minute or so because of it. 😢
  • Nonnie Dawn
    If you’re expecting scary ghost stories…..
    Then this isn’t for you. Full of mystery, love, hope, dreams, everything good stories are made of. Just a bit of scary…. Loved this!!
  • labnerd89
    Awesome
    Malcolm McDowell is fabulous!!!!!
  • Bone - Head
    Chilling as a Winter’s Night
    What a chilling and enthralling series of ghost stories! Perfect to listen to on a dark, cold winter’s night. Can’t wait to listen to them once more when Christmas rolls around again.
  • Amanda81!
    Awesome
    Everything they do is amazing...I find myself wishing they'd do these for all of the holidays 😍
  • ScribeLife22
    Superb
    This podcast is the perfect Christmas ghost story podcast. It absolutely enthralled me.
  • JohnGodwin4
    So good!
    I was listening to this alone on a dark and stormy morning at work. I jumped at every little sound the building made! This is so good, it’s so well written! I wish it was longer!
  • bkkbkbbk
    E.A.Poe would love this!

  • J.-lave
    Love it!!
    I’m a big fan of 13 days of Halloween so I’m not sure how I missed this but I’m so glad I found it! Only one episode in, and it’s compelling
  • Cbeaudzik
    Riveting
    Dramatic storytelling that drew me in from the start!
  • kelcifersdragons
    Love it
    I wish this podcast was longer. I loved hearing the different stories.
  • Ptop5
    This podcast is priceless.
    This podcast is priceless. It is compelling, because the performances are so well done. The sound effects draw you in. I could go on forever, but it is best I shut up, and you listen for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
  • MrsTheJones
    Binged It!
    Seriously spectacular! The voice actors, backstories and ambient music was truly incredible-well done!
  • Tensjunkie
    Great series!
    The audio is incredible! Episode 4 was so spooky, I just out of my seat at work. Can’t wait to finish!
  • Dr. Dash 0922
    Profound
    Some episodes are better than others but the last one was nothing less than profound.
  • Ravenhead52
    Of course. Ruined at the end
    Was great until one of the last episodes till there just had to be a woke episode. Podcast needs to go to Florida where woke goes to die
  • leland
    Could have been Better
    I enjoyed Malcom McDowels performance but I felt the ending fell flat. I applaud the hard work it took to produce this podcast but in the end I was not crazy about it. Annabelle should have been among the living.
  • Birchleaf2001
    The best
    Absolutely the best short series of stories I’ve ever heard, they are sad & happy, wow, looking forward to next year.
