Darkplace is my favourite TV show ever made so I had to get this, in audiobook, narrated by the man himself. I feel that really enhanced the experience - Holness is unironically a good narrator, even when doing The Voice, and he has great comedic delivery. And it definitely helped that he's capable of writing incredibly good horror when he isn't trying to be bad (Possum). 

The first story in particular made me laugh a lot, and he did a good job of capturing a lot of what made the show so good. This kind of ridiculous, intentionally bad writing is best consumed in doses rather than binged though, which I'll take in mind when I listen to the sequel because after I while I started to feel like I was going insane.

Good stuff. Love this guy.

All things warned about are written in an intentionally overly-exaggerated comedic fashion
