Sparks - Horror Serial Audio Book

”These are the files sent to me by client 347. After asking him to write, for homework, what triggered his desire to seek help in psychotherapy, he emailed me these recordings. I have listened through them a few times, and am still forming my own opinion. Once you’ve had chance to listen to it all, I would be glad to hear what you make of it. It’s… unusual. You’ll probably want to go through it more than once, and, if I can make a recommendation: don’t listen alone in the dark. I look forward to hearing from you.” Sparks is a horror podcast told in a late-night confessional style. A ’found footage’ story that explores anxiety, generational trauma, and fate versus free will. Plus some other things, but no spoilers here.
