Thirteen

Just started this. I’m at the beginning and have listened to several. Really enjoying the pace of each. Love listening to the end for the special little cast “fact”😊

Loved this story!

So many horror fiction drama podcasts follow a formula of “main character stumbles upon something sinister. Shortly thereafter main character finds themselves unable to escape horrible death. Add lots of squelching sounds, and that’s a wrap.” I’ve only listened to one episode of 13 so far, but it did an incredible job of building suspense, building out conflict within the characters’ personalities (beyond just a “big bad”). And that is what a lot of the horror-drama-fiction podcasts are missing. A hint of character development, take the time to tell your story by building some suspense and motivation. Instead of just generic dude walks into a haunted restaurant, orders the thing the creepy waitress warns him against ordering, then is brutally flayed by the insane asylum escaped chef who then serves random generic dude to his family as the chef’s special the following night. I just made that up, and maybe I should try to sell my story to one of the lesser podcasts!!! Anyway,…rambled on a lot. But well done!

Pulls you right in…the dialogue was believable as was the sad and engrossing story of human nature. I highly recommend you listen for yourself! No spoilers from me!
