Imagine Game of Thrones merged with Witcher but with a horror spin. Aethuran Dark Saga has often been branded a dramatized audiobook as the richness of the world portrayed puts it miles ahead of many other podcasts. This show takes no prisoners and immerses the listener in a dismal gritty world drenched in blood and filled with wailings of its inhabitants. It's as gripping as it is unforgiving, written and acted with true passion and attention to detail, which is going to make your heart grow with compassion towards the characters, only to shatter it to pieces a minute later. In this world, evil is more frequently rewarded than good deeds and not a single person is exempt from suffering a gruesome death. If you're into dark fantasy, this is probably the best show out there for you to check -. From Myst(tribesmedia editor)
