Where Can I Find The Malevolent Audiobook Version Online?

When I was hunting for the audiobook of 'Malevolent', I initially looked on the usual big platforms like Audible, but it wasn't there. That's because it's actually an original audio drama podcast, not a traditionally published audiobook. The entire series is hosted on its own dedicated website, along with major podcast apps. You can stream all episodes for free on the official 'Malevolent' site, which is the most direct source. It's also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts; just searching 'Malevolent Podcast' brings it right up.

I appreciated that the creator, Harlan Guthrie, handles the narration and all the voices himself, and the podcast format really leans into the audio medium. The story is designed to be experienced through sound, with the protagonist Arthur Lester literally blindfolded, so the listener's perspective aligns perfectly with his. Finding it as a podcast rather than a standard audiobook makes sense for how the tension and horror are built. It's a great example of a story where the format is part of the art.

If you want to support the show directly, they have a Patreon with early access and behind-the-scenes content, which is a nice option after you've started listening. The first few episodes pulled me in immediately with their mix of Lovecraftian dread and a really compelling mystery tied to Arthur's lost memories. I ended up binging the whole thing over a couple of weekends.
