Hits every mark it aims for

The podcast seems to aim to hit the stride of an older style gothic horror. It manages the whole of it, the drama, the tension, the abrupt ending all alongside a quality voice cast. A good use of time as well, the story feels a pinch over-short, but doesn’t bloat itself to fit a prescribed run time.
