Customer Reviews
Creeps me out like a H P Lovecraft story...
Really good production quality and a spooky listen. I like to put on headphones late at night and listen in the dark to get maximum creepy. Fun to be entertained like the old radio days.
Listen to This, Now
Ali da Silva is the Garrison Keillor of Dark Literature, and Fireside Mystery Theater its A Prairie Home Companion. Fantastic and tantalizing and oh, that voice!
Childhood Fears
Well done, funny, a little creepy; but that's the point, right? Highly recommended
