Customer Reviews
Wonderful Story And Production
The excellent audio production of Spectre of The Sea really impressed me. The overarhing story is engaging while managing to frame the shorter stories within. I binged upon the episodes existing as of October 2023 and definitely hope for more.

Through evocative description and excellent sound effects, this podcast truly made me feel transported in time and space - and sent shivers down my spine!
