  • Summary

  • In this scripted comedy/sci-fi Audible Original, a quick-witted young blogger turned investigator, Cassie (Sophie McShera) travels to the sleepy English countryside, only to discover a paranormal threat beyond humanity’s worst nightmares. 

    Following a strange event, frustrated British paranormal researcher, Cassie Chambers is thrown together with uptight American, Glen Hedley (Adam James), an agent for a shady government organization. This mis-matched duo soon discover, not only do they have a mystery to uncover, but also they’re humanity’s only defense against malign ultra-terrestrials from a different dimension. With interfering locals, obstructive bosses and a fanatical cult getting in the way, and only Cassie’s best friend Amanda (Mandeep Dhillon) as reliable help, Cassie & Glen must figure out why this unique enemy is here and turn it back before it’s too late - for all of us.

    Cassie and Glen try to contain the fallout of their argument – with further arguments. Unsurprisingly, this plan proves less than effective and something terrifying gains a foothold in our world.

Cassie & Glen’s plight only gets worse when a new visitor arrives at the pub.

Great fun sci-fi horror comedy

I'll admit that I binged all 8 parts on my daily commute and my husband had to listen to the last half of the last episode with me because I couldn't wait till next week to hear it.
Great fun and I hope there will be a season 2. It reminded me of what the latest iteration of Doctor Who could have been like with a better writer. I'm hooked.

Good fun

I was surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. Good fun, and plenty of much needed silliness. Can we have a sequel please?

Wonderful! Best sci-fi comedy since Nebulous.

Clever, funny and original. Great writing and great performances and effects. Best audio sci-fi comedy since Nebulous. I will also be purchasing Maclean's book The Apparition Phase based on the ideas and the script of this show. Please make more!

Don't need to be sci-fi fan to enjoy - Recommended

I'm glad I discovered this quirky offbeat comedy. Normally those words are meant to imply limited appeal. I actually enjoyed this because it has those qualities. Plot and performances are first class. The protagonist is 18 but you don't have to be Gen Z to enjoy it. I'm a pensioner yet am urging everyone I know to listen. My only complaint is it's not being promoted more.

Great story for the most part

the story in places just felt a bit disjointed but it still felt like I wanted to finish the book. the actors made it feel like it was worth the listen to.
