Summary
Welcome, to a Dark Minisode.
Our first minisode of the season finds a listener looking for a quiet life in Keswick, the Lake District, but that life is slowly overshadowed by a series of deeply disturbing events that begin in a renovated garden workshop. What starts as an ordinary discovery in an old outbuilding soon gives way to experiences that challenge one woman’s firmly grounded view of the world, with her three dogs seeming to sense the danger long before she can understand it herself.
Stay safe,
Kevin.
