Customer Reviews
Brilliant Horror Podcast
Terrifying happenings set in a surreal Ontario township - a Canadian version of Derry, Maine - and the anthology presentation is made that much more fun by knowing that the tales are inter-connected in some way. A wonderful and original podcast that needs to be discovered by more in the horror community.
The one and ONLY bad thing about “Dark River” is that you cannot find it when you Search for it unless you add “spooky small town” after the words “Dark River”.
This podcast is way too good to be undone by a stupid Apple bug... Maybe remove the colon after”Dark River” in the title section and that might fix the problem? Keep up the excellent storytelling... this is a truly great series (✌️💀👍).
I tried
I gave it two episodes, but I couldn’t get into it. Neither scary nor thrilling.
