Podcast Stories

So... A while ago, I discovered this Podcast on iTunes called Pseudopod. It's incredible - it reads you horror stories written by small-time authors. The stories are really well written, and most of them actually make my heart skip beats. Sure, some of them you go, 'Huh? That's not horror.'

But I heard (I keep wanting to say read... but I didn't, really) this one, called Mira, by Michael James McFarland, and I actually didn't want to go to bed afterward, simply because it was sooooo scary.

The host, Alistair, has the sexiest voice, too. He has a gorgeous accent, and I keep wishing he would actually read a story, but he never does. At least, not that I've heard.

They get a wide variety of people to read; musicians, other authors, lecturers, teachers, etc. etc. They all have really nice voices - soothing to listen to, even when the words they're saying make you shiver and your breath hitch.

But Pseudopod is awesome. I listen to one or two stories before bed each night - keeps my dreams interesting.

I highly recommend it. However, mature 'readers' only. Includes: sex, violence, racism, swearing and graphic descriptions of all the above. Incredible.
