  • Summary

  • Do not fear the dark, fear what darkness brings...


    Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness.

    As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more…

I need more.

This story is captivating and introduced me to a new genre but I can't find anything that compares to this yet.

Outstanding

This is an excellent series, especially in the tying of the blindness having to be narrated by the entity. It's perfect for an audio book; the descriptions are fabulous and the characters are portrayed perfectly. A truly enjoyable listen and hard to disconnect from it.

surprisingly great!

I was listening to old gods of Appalachia and they shared first episode or two on there. I had been caught up on old gods, so figured go back and give it a listen.

I wasn't really into it at the first episode, but something peaked my interest att he end. I don't remember what it was.. but it made me want to listen to the next episode and then the next.

very intriguing series as I don't know much Lovecraft, but it obviously is inspired by. I ended up getting caught up with this as well and that bummed me out as it takes about a month per episode it seems. understandable tho when you find out the creator does most the writing (I believe) the voices and of course the great sound editing. just a lot of thought is in creation from muffled voices, to background noise to really develop the story, and I love how instead of having narration you have a character explain to the other what is being seen while telling us as the audience what's being seen also. crazy how good that works and thought out.

Exceptional and unique!

I did not know what to expect after reading what the podcast was about but I was pleasantly surprised. The voice actors, including John, Yellow, The Butcher, and Arthur really elevate this podcast. Clearly well planned out story with lots of intriguing threads. The relationship between Arthur and John really make this story interesting. Love this and can’t wait for new episodes. I

Came for the Lovecraft, stayed for the feels!

I've been a huge fan of this podcast for more than a year. It has a great storyline, great audio performance and over all is the dynamic between the characters, it's makes them very believable.

Dark and twisty tale

This podcast is a dark and twisty first person tale about the nature of friendship and what makes us human.

The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t just listen forever

Ahhhh, I love this so much and just wish I had infinite content just like this to listen to forever. I’ve listened all the way through twice and get so excited each time there is a new episode. Really brilliant stuff! Spooky and scary and brain-worm-y in the best way.
