Show overview
A Voice From Darkness has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 41 episodes, alongside 22 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 6 min and 27 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 13 episodes published. Published by Jac Rhys.
