Really great stories, acting, and production value. Very timely for Halloween The latest episode, "The most dangerous side hustle", is a great modern twist on the haunted house

The background music on many of the stories just does NOT match the story and is too loud and distracting. The stories and narration seem to be good but the music just demands to take center stage and often times upstages (not in a good way) the story itself. Please change, lower the volume of, or better yet, just get rid of the music playing in the background altogether.

I keep coming back in hopes of the return to the prior content quality (see prev review below). Just finished listening to, “The Most Dangerous Side Hustle” and I genuinely feel like those were 35+ mins of my life that I’ll never get back. Brutal honesty - the story was almost comically lame. If the intention was to be campy, it missed the mark. The voice acting was unfortunate and overdone. Being close to Halloween, I’ll give this pod a bit more time to get it together before I permanently unfollow. 4 stars because this pod was superb but recently seemed to decline in quality. The more recent episodes have themes which are quite obtuse and meandering. The recent plots seem disconnected from the characters themselves…it is dangerously bordering on self-indulgent. Sticking with it in hopes it returns to its former glory.

"The most dangerous side tussle" was a perfect kickofff to spooky season!!! Thank you

Most awesome stories with seriously professional narration !! Definitely a Fan and this will be the new podcast I'll be introducing to my Podcast listeners Club (yes like 'old school book club' except now we all listen to a podcasts) .. trust me so much more fun!

REVIEW OF 2024 CONTENT: Quality has taken a massive nosedive! Feels much more like a quickly produced horror anothology than the deep, well-produced, thought-provoking content it used to be. The episodes promoting their new horror erotica podcast are also disgusting - not only is mixing horror/gore with sexual content a terrible idea for your brain, but the cutoff in the episode is pretty far into the sex scene. The episode “Tell Me What You Like” is solely about a woman’s issues with her boyfriend during sex, so even though the episode isn’t explicit persay, it is still solely about sex and is therefore NSFW and shouldn’t have been posted here. Pretty close to unsubbing and not listening anymore. PRE-2024 REVIEW: These are some of the best stories! So engaging and well done, beautiful and meloncholy, where the true horror is sadness lol Love love the voice actors (especially Brooke), and can’t get enough! Just keep in mind to have your phone on hand so you can skip the 5-10 min of ads and announcements at the beginning and you’re good! Also some of the earlier eps are very quiet, so if you listen at work like me it’ll be hard to hear the older eps - you’ll need both earbuds in for those ones.

Fall of 98 was a really good listen. I usually don’t like religious dramas bc it’s triggering but I related to every detail in the story bc I experienced that evangelistic Christianity too growing up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Your podcast is in a class of its own!!! Excellent !!! I absolutely love each story!!

I’ve been gone from this pod for a little over a year. I remembered it, looking forward to more spooky, well crafted stories with moody music. I started with the newest stories and am 4 in… what happened? ☹️

I joined the Patreon because this show was so different, so intelligent, so atmospheric, and so professionally voiced. This Grim Reaper episode was schlock. I figured it out 2 minutes in. No offense to Mr. DuFort, but he is perfect for Creepy, and totally unsuited for this broadcast. If this continues, I’ll be dropping my Patreon and looking for something new to support

Getting tired of everything being lgbtq+ though.

What happened to part two? NOOOOOOOOOOO!

There are quite a few horror/suspense podcasts and most don’t live up to the hype. This one goes above and beyond. The stories are unique and well developed. The voices, sound quality, and soundtrack are all first rate.

Everything is super anti Christian, pro gay; gets old.

Thanks a lot man for making it so I can’t even listen. Why are you doing that with your voice you little pedo

This wasn’t quite what I expected, the stories really take their time developing context and characters, it’s really unique I feel like among horror podcasts.

What’s with the whispering soft narrator? Gets super annoying after awhile.

I enjoy paranormal and horror style podcasts like the antiaquarium of sinister happens and this podcast was recommended. I’m only about 10 episodes in (March 2021, as of writing this) and just listened to The Long Weekend. Each story is thrilling and suspenseful but you never quite know what your going to get. That’s what makes this podcast so different. Highly recommend and I’ve been recommending it to friends.

What not to love about a good story. The narrators are awesome and story the stories are absolutely captivating. It’s a must hear podcast.

Love these narrators!

I highly recommend this podcast. If you try it and love it, consider the ad-free paid Patreon version with extra episodes - it's worth EVERY PENNY for fans of horror fiction podcasts!

Absolutely love this atmospheric and character-driven horror podcast! I always look forward to new episodes!

I really don’t like this podcast anymore. It’s just so stupid.

I hardly leave reviews but I needed to for this …. Episode 1 had me and by the end of episode 2 I was hooked . Very well put together and can’t wait to keep listening .

I came here from the Olive Hill podcast (which I loved) and I’m really enjoying this. I’m a licensed massage therapist and I listen while massaging to make the day pass by and to keep my mind on something. One of my all time favorite podcasts is Borrasca with Cole Sprouse and Ian sounds just like him!! Sometimes I forget I’m not listening to Cole! Keep up the good work. Whitney

Amazing production and great storytelling!! Love it! Found you thru scare me to sleep thanks Shelby!!

If youre here to be spooked, you're out of luck past the first 2 episodes. If youre here to jerk off, you might find the overwhelmingly christian backdrop of most episodes a mood killer. This podcast doesnt know who it is or what it wants to be and listeners suffer for their lack of development. Me, i came here for horror not softcore porn and midwest church anxiety. What a fool i was.

I’ve only just finished the 3rd episode but I’m writing this review because the names they chose for the two boys who took the girls to prom are mine and my brothers names and I thought that was hilarious! Im throughly enjoying the story telling and will be listening to more!

This show was recommended to me by my wife. She knows that I appreciate horror but that I don’t always care for jump scares and gratuitous amounts of violence. I checked out Thirteen and it was incredible; it’s the exact genre of horror I didn’t know I’d been looking for. I ran to tell my wife about an episode and suddenly, I remembered: my wife died 13 years ago—long before this podcast was ever established.

I look forward to this every month!

This podcast is hit or miss with more misses than hits as it continues. I find the narrator with the southern accent to be irritating and I’m from the south 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love the stories….. except the ones narrated by the girl who did shrieking willow

My favorites are the ones written by Ian but theyre all wonderful and creepy.

I love this podcast! The stories are immersive and story tellers do a great job!

I love this show, I’ve heard every episode. But Ian, this episode got me!!!! All the feels. Love you guys. Thanks for the great content.

The background music ruins the series. Some have commented that it get better so I listened to a recent episode - nope - music is still terribly distracting.

Found this show through Scare you to Sleep pod. It is soooooo good! I’m binging from the beginning. The recordings are really really low volume. Hoping as I catch up to newer episodes the volume has increased.

Found this through OGOA and Im enjoying it very much! Incredibly well produced and very good stories.

This podcast is perfect, except that there aren't nearly enough episodes 🥹 the music is subtle and adds so much to each story, and I'm not even a fan of music in my horror fiction. I've listened to some of these over and over. They're always creepy without being the kind of eldritch horror that keeps me awake. Ps. Can y'all have Bridgett narrate more stories? Something about the Appalachian accent is just so soothing!

Started good but quickly devolved into a trashy romance novel. I like sex as much as anyone else but geez guys cmon. It was a creepy ghost podcast that turned into soft core sex in every show.

The beginning background music can be way too loud and distracting, it sounds off. Takes you out of the story. Gets better as the stories unfold.

So far so good! I love these stories! “The last phone booth in my town rings at 1am” is my fav so far!

First off, I love this podcast. The 3 creators and voice actors are legitimately good at what they’re doing. The concept is pretty unique in the genre and if I scored this off personal enjoyment, it would be 5 stars. The problem is some of the stories are not good. There’s a substantial portion of the stories that are written by fan submission, and they are mostly not the quality of more “professionally” written ones. So a couple of episodes are a CHORE to get through. But when you hit ones like Barrier Islands or Meeting House it’s gold.

I listen to a lot of these types of podcasts. This is by far the best written and best produced of them all. Classy.

Tangled in the roots was so beautifully created and had my emotions totally invested.

Love love love this podcast especially this story!! Definitely worth the listen!!! Highly recommend to follow their stories are addictive 🤍

..creepy show! I love this one because of the quality of the stories being told, it’s creepy, strange, thought provoking, not too heavy handed which is sometimes a thing w scary podcasts. This one relies on good, effective, interesting story telling to do the heavy lifting vs gore, obvious outrage scenarios etc. I love it!! Sharing this one all around👍👍

Soooo different than true crime for a break… Some of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard and I love the way the stories leave you hanging almost but not like normal where you feel speechless like you’re dying for another sentence or two…it’s just time for the tale to end!! And each story leaves you thinking about YOUR interpretation of what happened in the end…. Love it as y’all put the listener in the old deli store, or in the parsonage, or wherever the story takes place…unbelievable!!!! Keep it up!!

I heard about this podcast from “Ghosts in the Burbs.” It is just what I was looking for. Creepy, interesting stories that keep my attention from start to finish. You get the fright without all the annoying talking that most scary podcasts have. Give it a try!!

I just found this podcast & am addicted already! I don’t know what I’ll do when I’m all caught up & have to wait a month between episodes😬 Keep up the great work!
