  • Summary

  • Listen to Sour Hall from 25th January, with a new episode releasing daily.

    When George inherits her family farm it’s supposed to be a new start for her and her partner Ash, an escape from the chaotic pace of Manchester life and the traumatic incident that’s casting a shadow over their relationship.

    George embraces country living and a burgeoning dairy business but a lonely Ash can’t settle – the farm is isolated and the villagers’ stares make clear their feelings about the inter-racial lesbian couple in their midst.

    And then there is the strange banging coming from the milking shed which George won’t let her enter.... Ash is sure she can hear George whispering to someone or something inside....

    A presence haunts the farm, one that feeds on fear itself, and it’s hungry. To survive, Ash and George must face past traumas and embrace the things that go bump in the night, or risk being destroyed by them.

    Recorded in partial 360 degree sound on location in Yorkshire, this truly terrifying Audible Original stars Lucy Fallon as George and Pearl Mackie as Ash and is best enjoyed when listened to with headphones. This new podcast is a dramatic adaptation of the critically-acclaimed Sour Hall, one of the short stories written by Naomi Booth for Hag

    Please note: Sour Hall contains strong language, adult themes and scenes of a violent nature which some listener’s may find upsetting. In particular the series references sexual violence, and miscarriage. Much of this is explored via the lens of supernatural horror, but listener discretion is advised. More detail on potentially triggering content can be found by clicking 'details' on each episode in the app. And for the best listening experience, wear headphones.

    This original podcast is 6 episodes in total. New episodes will arrive in your Library daily over six days from 25 January, 2021

Meh

I'm sure this is someone's cup of tea but not mine. Not scary, ending is meh, and I found it quite contrived. Big Doctor Who fan so really wanted to love the performances but they were quite hammy in places. Wanted to love it but but couldn't sadly.

good

it was good but not good enough, I mean, its a nice topic, but the end unfolds too quickly and doesn't totally sustain the story.
