8pod 003 "About Your Recent Stories" By Greer Woodward 

Read by Scott Gabriel            uploaded  07/22/08

     "I am not here for your convenience. I am not here for you to lift me out of the shadows, only to clothe me in silver wings, the scales of a fish, and a serpent’s tail. I am not here to breathe fire at your command, or to be darkly beautiful as I fly before the sun, or for you to permit a fool to eat my heart.'

     "I am not here to serve you."

     Taken from the December 2007 issue of Susurrus, Greer Woodward's horror piece is about a man's attempt to channel an angy, sinister force.

8pod 001 "Mogadishu" by James Swingle

read by Scott Gabriel             uploaded 07/07/08

     "Phillip wasn’t thinking of Mogadishu when he saw Karen’s long legs swing out from her booth at The Flowerpot Diner.  In fact, at no point in this story does he think of Mogadishu.  The list of things Phillip doesn’t think of in this story is long—long as Karen’s legs—and includes Mogadishu, Feng Shui, Hill Stations, falafel, cuts in overseas staffing by news organizations, Residential Schools, buffalo, the Khyber Pass, smallpox, paisley, salmon and the Bikini Atoll."

Further meaning: Your rights for your stories remain intact, but more people get to hear about you (because they get to say "hey, check this out" to their friends and we promise not to sue them for it).

 

To Submit

    The stories we choose will be among those published in susurrus: the literature of madness (and occasionally Atomjack). So follow the guidelines for those.
