Cloud 9 Anthology

The Doorway

<description>&lt;p&gt;This is unlike any audio drama you have heard before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an idyllic countryside English garden, Helen potters. No matter what happens in the world outside, her garden will always be there when Helen needs to hide away. With her flowers, and her trees, and the bees in the back that know exactly what she did.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignorance is bliss, right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;A psychological audio thriller. Unsettling. Gripping. Scary. Strap yourself in: this is a listening experience like no other… (we recommend headphones for this one)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Garden is Part 5 in our science-fiction anthology, Cloud 9.
