The amount of love I have for Carpenter is indescribable. I cannot wait to find out more about the Trawler Man and Faulkners Backstory and the mystery of this amazing, creepy world.

brilliant amazing showstopping spectacular never the same, you get it. absolutely LOVE the world building in this show. i've just finished listening and this is the show that's spurred me to review again, just because i wanted to say how much i love it. not a single letdown. slayed.

This is one of the best shows I have listened to, and one of the few that has genuinely horrified me. The characters are fantastic, well-acted, and well-written, but really, it's the world that drew me in and held me. It's... awful. Wonderful. Deeply fascinating. What would a world be like if gods were active, ubiquitous, hungry, powerful, and possibly not even truly sapient? The absolute uncaring nature of the gods in this, and the way that shapes civilization is explored deeply, without info dumping at the audience. The writers take away any polite fictions, and dig in to just how badly something like this could (would?) go, given human nature, even accounting for the existence of good people. I've seen magic framed as divine power before. And I've seen divine power framed as a natural resource. But the way this show looks at the gods themselves is something I've not come across, and it's executed wonderfully. If you like horror, and are willing to actually be horrified, listen.
