This was so creative! Gotta love the inherent terror of ancient creatures that lurk in the depth

Jack Bird

This was so good! Both the writing and the performance

Liz M

Loved it!

Heather MacKenzie

I could legit listen to Sue Sims read anything creepy. She's just that good!

David Litvak

thanks, didn't realize that the cumulative genetic memory of the earliest seaborne multicellular animals hated humans *this fucking much*, that's a lovely new version of thalassophobia to properly fear, HOW WONDERFUL <3

oh my GOD this story. Oh the ending shift, from the abstract to the specific. The details of the whales slipping between her teeth. (I mean. We know that female sharks are the largest). I ADORED this one holy crap. (also a plug for: sharks are our friends, even if we fear them, we should protect them, they're important, etc etc)

Super thankful I didn't try to listen before bed. *Thalassophobia intensifies*

That was amazing! Sue's narration was perfect

Christian Friis Jensen

Sue Sims deserves all the awards for the sheer drama she brings to this reading. Absolutely amazing! Takes an already great piece of writing and just elevates it to an incredible extent.

Brandon Barnes

This is genuine perfection??? Oh my gosh?? Give Sue an award
