Harper McKenzie wakes to the worse possible day: her 18-year-old son has vanished from her Manhattan apartment without trace.

Worse, no-one knows what she’s talking about.

No-one thinks she had a son.

Ever.

Has she lost her grip on reality?

Or has the world shifted in a terrifying and unpredictable way?

The Effect is a taut psychological thriller that challenges everything we thought was real, as Harper’s quest to find her son pushes her to the very edge of reason.

3.7/5

For a short story in podcast form it really is well done and well paced. There’s a lot of scenes packed into the short time frame. And you’re never really lost or confused about anything. You can jump right into the story without having too many questions.

The sound affects making it like an audio movie was cool and made you feel like you were there and in it. I think this works well with short stories. A full on novel with sound affects could potentially be a little tiresome.

I have it at a 3 because the ending is only alright and kind of leaves you wishing there was another epi or two to close it all out. Not the ending I wanted but you do subtly, kind of, get the feel for the end halfway through which is well done.

Overall worth the listen.
