This is already up here, but transcoded into MP3.

The version marked as stereo is a direct download (minus This is Audible) at 128kbps downloaded with Libation. This version is for playing on stereo speakers or if you don’t hold with mucking around with the audio

The version marked (XF) has had cross-feed applied, making the sound-stage wider and from the front when listened to with headphones. If you are listening via Windows computer you need to disable Spatial sound or any enhancements like iTunes sound enhancer. With this particular story I find it really helps sell the stalked-by-distant-monsters vibe when the monsters actually sound off in the distance. I tightened-up the inter-episode gaps so it sounds like a movie rather than eight individual episodes and re-encoded it using maximum bitrate FDK VBR 5

I also removed the horrible diagonal yellow “only from Audible” tramp-stamp artwork.

In Buck Lake, Colorado, the resident dog catcher, Collins, is on the verge of retirement. But something strange lurks in the woods, about to ruin his plans….

After 30 years, Collins is ready to be done with small-town animal control. His replacement, Blair, is a Gen Z vet student who hates mansplaining; they don’t get along. But on the eve of his retirement, Collins gets a call that changes everything.

There’s been a report of a vicious wild dog on the loose. Collins and Blair head to a remote family farm to check it out. But instead of finding one wayward mutt, they’re attacked by an entire pack of bloodthirsty creatures. Are they animals? Aliens? Or something more sinister?

Collins and Blair have never seen eye to eye, but they’ll have to learn to work together if they want to survive the night. The future of Buck Lake depends on it.

Catchers is a small-town horror tale with all the charm of a classic ‘80s creature-feature, updated for the modern era. Billy Gardell (Bob Hearts Abishola) stars as Collins alongside Herizen Guardiola (American Gods) as Blair.

With hair-raising twists and a diverse cast of characters, Catchers has something to send shivers down every horror lover’s spine.
