Fun, absurdist humour

What happens when the x-files, instead of being investigated by Mulder and Scully, were to concentrate on the premises of a gas station run by some dude who is either too stupid or disinterested to pay them the time of day?

You get something not too dissimilar to something like Gravity Falls or the "John Dies at the End" series of books.

So what if there's a ghost that looks like a half naked cowboy in the bathroom? He's not hurting anyone. Gravity somehow reverses? Better not go outside, you might fall into the sky. It'll sort itself out. Probably

I enjoyed the silly stories in this book. Everyone in it is an idiot, but in a charming, Futurama like way. The weird and unexplainable phenomena are creative and fun.

I can recommend it, if you're into this kind of nonsense

From podcast to audiobook

I am happy that the team from the creepy podcast (ore some of them) made there partial production of this story into a full audiobook (Audio drama?).
Was waiting for that since i heard the story on the podcast.
I hope there are working on volume 2.
A really good mix of horror, mystery and comedy.

A for effort

Let me start by saying that I have all 4 volumes of this story read by Mr. Creepypasta. I love this story, so seeing that there was an audio drama seemed like a dream come true.

The problem is, that I was highly disappointed. As someone who produces Audiobooks as a hobby myself, I am surprised how I can get clearer audio with a 120 Euro mic and a microphone box made out of tissues and cardboard. The narrator sounds bored most of the time, and there is barely any emotion in his delivery. The excessive use of flanger effects and voice pitch lowering for some charakters makes it hard to understand them at times.

The voice actors sound like they are simply reading their lines, without context, while in several places there are sound effects that do not make sense. I know I come across as harsh, but when the story is written from the first person perspective, and a phone call is made, you do not put the ringing of a phone in, but the call sound you hear when it is ringing on the other end.

Same goes for the handgun used by one yof the charakters near the end. The effect used is the pumping of a pumpgun, when the gun used is a handgun.

I coukd go on and on, but the long and short of it is this: I commend the people who made this for their effort, for there was clearly some work put into it, but you can clearly see where the team and especially the editor lost their love for the project.

Nonsensical soundeffects, bored sounding VA's and narrator, but interesting choice of music and ambience sounds. Sadly that was not enough for me to overlook the flaws. If this was a free production on YouTube, like my stuff, I wouldn't even mention amy of this and move on. As is, I can not give a recommendation for this version. Voice coaching and a different recording setup might help.
