This is a wonderful collection of creepy and suspenseful short stories. Each episode is a self contained unsettling tale, tied together with an overarching storyline throughout the seasons.

I would absolutely recommend to anyone who likes horror, suspense, the paranormal. Everyone really. You should listen to this.

Although the stories range from mild ick to visceral horror, you are pretty much guaranteed to find something in here that'll keep you up at night. (Except for #13, Alone, which made me cry so hard it worried my girlfriend.)
I know there are a lot of recurring plot threads in here, but I forget names as soon as I hear them, so until about halfway in, I experienced the installments as standalones with no connective tissue to speak of. Then I fell in love with Martin Blackwood and have not known peace since.
