Personal Highlights The Silt Verses: Chapter 23 - I'd Howl, I'd Scream, In Victory. The line that stuck with me the most from this episode is 'There’s nothing we can make that can’t be turned against us.', and I think that's such a brilliant way of summarising so much of the world of The Silt … Continue reading Audio Fiction Sunday 24th July 2022

Personal Highlights 2298: S2 E23 - Memory Awake. It's the season finale, and I have so many questions! The season's story comes full circle, as Wally answers a question that Profile 13 didn't even realise they had at the beginning of their story. It's a satisfying end, yet leaves enough questions unanswered about The Network … Continue reading Audio Fiction Sunday 15th May 2022

Personal Highlights 2298: S2 E05 - Square One. I'm fascinated by this new insight into The Network, and the dystopian society the Profiles live in. Profile 13's way of talking about their experiences and what they know about Profile 24 is just cryptic enough to create a lot of intrigue about the system they live … Continue reading Audio Fiction Sunday 9th January 2022

I’ve never been someone who chooses to actively seek out horror TV shows/films, and looking back now, at least some of that was … Continue reading Ghosts in Fiction Podcasts

Personal Highlights Great & Terrible: Worse Than Death. The last couple of lines from this episode have been on my mind all week. That shocking realisation, which serves as the episode's cliffhanger, which is delivered in just enough of an ambiguous way that you need to take a second to process the meaning of Jane's … Continue reading Audio Fiction Sunday 5th September 2021
