Interactive horror stories at their greatest.

I came here after watching Dom Allen’s stint as Keeper on No Rolls Barred, because I watched that three times and wanted more, and found a treasure trove of scary stories mixed with dry humour. The fact that they just get straight to the story and don’t spend half the podcast discussing their personal lives is an added bonus. Recommended.
