Review of Eric Cota’s Sudden Chiller Audio Exposure Vol 1 & 2 on Horror-Writer.net…

Everything old has come back to the new. It is inevitable that if it is timeless, then it will return, and sometimes with a vengeance. Freakshows once thought of as a dead performance art now have feature shows on cable television. Rockabilly was thought to have died with Buddy Holly has morphed into various sub-styles of psychobilly, gothabilly, and cowpunk.  Several decades ago our grandparents hovered around the radio to listen to tales woven through a live studio complete with sound effects. Families waited to hear the latest trouble that Little Orphan Annie would get herself into while only the Shadow knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men.

Fast-forward to the current time. Eric D. Cota has resurrected the old time radio dramas into the modern age with the release of two audio collections via CD,Sudden Chillers Audio Exposure Vol. 1 and Sudden Chillers Audio Exposure Vol. 2. All stories are original horror shorts as told by the author alongside of sound effects and soundtrack. With the help of new digital audio recording and editing, Cota has singlehandedly given the storytelling community a shot in the ass with his brand of audio horror tales.

Cota offers the following advice while listening:

“To get the most out of your listening enjoyment, this should be played in the dark with headphones and should be done so alone, as these experiences are personal and different for each individual. Crank up the volume for maximum effect!! Of course it can be played for a group, but follow the simple instructions: Keep it dark, keep it loud, and keep it gruesome!!!”
