I recorded my hosting track for this episode before the latest revelations. That might be a good thing – I daresay I would have been rather more vitriolic. Go easy on yourselves: this is an excellent and important story, but it’s also challenging. If you need space, take it 🖤

My favourite thing about my job is all of it. But a big part of it is reading, and talking about, staggeringly smart pieces of fiction like this one.
My short story was on @pseudopod.org over the weekend! pseudopod.org/2024/07/05/p...

*deep breath* HERE GOES: "people who write dark fiction are inherently evil" and "people who write dark fiction are inherently nice and soft" are the exact same mistake and if you don't stop conflating creative output with morality you render yourself unable to see the missing stairs

So many. Mom’s in the hospital, I’ll just call my brother and we’ll visit. Hey, there’s this interesting biological sample from the arctic…. What a nice little country house for sale. It even has a garden that backs up onto a stream behind it.

Instead of scaring your neighbors with fireworks this year, why not scare them the old fashioned way? Grow out your antlers and fangs, cultivate a thunderous beard of moss, haunt the night, and become a terrifying creature of legend and lore.

You don't have to wait until Halloween to dress up as a mummy. You can just do that now and wrap yourself in bandages and wander around and vomit swarms of scarabs on people. You don't need October for that. You can turn their blood to black ichor with fell magicks in July. You're an adult, it's ok.

I listened to this at 2am, in bed by myself with the house creaking whilst settling. I didn't sleep until half an hour after it ended. Sublime.

If you enjoy sand, going to the beach, or golf...you're going to LOVE this amazing Rom-Com! (disclosure: It's NOT a Rom-Com (like, AT ALL)) It's still a neat story, though!!

This is an excellent story and an excellent performance by Trendane Sparks! Several small twists that really make this story fun

Pride in the UK isn't just one month. It's usually from the start of May through to the end August. But I am in firm favour of July being Wrath Month. This definitely needs to become a universal thing.

Little things can have big impacts on your life. A single butterfly's wings can change weather half a world away. A little knowledge of dark magic can change all of your rivals into newts and ferns.
