Why this must be read/listened to:


Jane Davitt wrote this for spook_me, The Spook Me Multi-Fandom Halloween Ficathon

Dodie's reading of this story is clear and expressive, and she draws you into the mystery as things get weirder and weirder for Jim and Blair. This story made me shiver with tension as Jim tries to balance what his skeptical mind is telling him with what his senses are reporting, and as the danger comes ever closer and closer to impacting Jim and Blair on a much more personal level.

One of the benefits of listening to this podfic,for me was that I couldn't just skim it to get to the part where all is revealed. It became a richer experience that way, as I savored what was happening in the moment. Also, I enjoyed the story while still doing necessary things, such as chores or driving, although I'm sure I paused a few times while doing dishes or dusting to just listen to this very well written story in a nicely done podfic format.

I so agree with you - I loved this one! I only discovered it by accident a week or so ago, and really enjoyed listening in odd moments and late at night. It's totally worth a little messing about to download it - can you tell messing about downloading stuff is not my favourite occupation? *g*

Oooooh, late at night. Pretty creepy stuff. Dodie is one of the first people to do podficcing, and she's been an inspiration to a lot of folks, me included.

She did an incredible job and I have to say I scared myself writing this one :-)

She did. I had wanted to rec this last time I did Crack Van, but the audio archive was hacked at the time. It was a chilling story and Dodie's podficcing of it just made it that much better for me.
