На перший погляд цей твір це максимально звичайна історія про Доктора — є шотландське село і є монстр що тероризує це село, а між ними підліток, що проживає втрату сестри. Але! Якщо почати сприймати монстра, як сублімацію та репрезентацію переживань підлітка, метафору його стану під час проходження пубертату десь в шотландській глибинці та самозвинуваченні в смерті сестри.Ось тоді історія починає грати абсолютно іншими фарбами. І головне — в цьому сприйнятті дійсно є сенс, що витікає з сюжету. Додатково мені сподобався трохи специфічний гумор автор. Тож дуже вас прошу послухайте цю історію, проте будьте обережні — тут є згадки трупів птахів та описи деяких деформацій тих самих трупів. Тож якщо це є для вас триґером то майте на увазі. AND HERE IS MY FAVOURITE STORY!!! At first glance, this work is a completely ordinary story about the Doctor — there's a Scottish village and there's a monster that terrorizes this village, and between them a teenager, who is living through the loss of his sister. But! If you start to perceive the monster as a sublimation and representation of the teenager's experiences, a metaphor for his state during puberty somewhere in the depths of Scotland and his self-blame in his sister's death. That’s when the story begins to play in absolutely different colours. And importantly — this perception really makes sense, which stems from the plot. Additionally, I liked the somewhat specific humour of the author. So I really ask you to listen to this story, but be careful — there are mentions of bird corpses and descriptions of some deformations of those same corpses. So if this is a trigger for you, bear that in mind. (Translation generated by AI, so mistakes are possible).

The creeping sense of dread in the grey Scottish town is the most effective element of this story. Alongside Jacob Dudman’s excellent two hander between himself as the ninth Doctor and himself as a Scottish teenager. The excellent production and performance is home to an “okay” story. It’s slow and not particularly eventful, but has a real sense of place about it. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 2 12 September 2024 · 115 words Review by dema1020 3 After enjoying The World Tree rather thoroughly, I checked out The Lichyrwick Abomination not long after the former had come out in an eager move to see if these other memorial shorts were as strong. The answer being, at least in this case, no, this particular audio is not nearly as good as The World Tree, but still pretty worthwhile and impressive. It's a great example of how mood and tone can go a long way. I enjoyed the thoughtful take on this horror/monster story overall, even if I don't think it quite stands out as a story beyond being a decent take on a character and a bit of a fun with spookiness. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 3 26 June 2024 · 42 words Review by eleanorvancecoded 2 arrival 2016 and psychogeography an incredible sense of place developed here. that drab grey scottish seaside town was so clear in my mind’s eye. the doctor didn’t get to do much here, but that’s pretty much my only criticism. perfect setting for nine eleanorvancecoded View profile Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
