What is Small Town Spooky?

(Starred review) "I loved it! Renee’s approach from multiple angles was interesting from start to finish. Including geography was really helpful as someone who has been to the area and isn’t from Canada. Her commentary was witty and entertaining and her voice was perfect for the mood and tone she presented with the episode! This was a lovely opener. I can’t wait to hear more!"
