    “

    What stood out for me, aside from the perfect blend of comedy/fantasy/horror, was the furious pacing and rapid-fire dialogue. The script moves with precision, increasing the stakes and laughs at a feverishly entertaining clip. A lot of fun all around!

    A tight little audio drama that mixes humor and suspense in ways that heighten both.
