Michael and Evo: Wingin’ It!

Repeat post from the Dragon Page, but I can’t type out “fucking” over there!

Mur Lafferty and Ben Phillips have teamed up with Escape Artists, Inc. (the folks behind Escape Pod, the science fiction podcast magazine) to create Pseudopod — bringing you great original works of short horror fiction to your MP3 player of choice each and every week.

Their first offering is by none other than the master of splatter-fiction in the podosphere, Scott Sigler - author of the podiobooks Earthcore, Ancestor and Infection. This story is called Bag Man:

I swallowed. I didn’t want this to happen. I knew the game. Bag Man always called the cops and gave them a code. He gave that same code to the victim. Even after two years of killings, the fucking cranks were still calling 9-1-1, claiming the Bag Man had called them and that they needed protection. His codes solved that problem. He was a damn courteous kid.

Thing was, the codes became more of a warning to the cops than a way to separate out the sick, attention-starved loonies. The cops wanted to confirm Bag Man’s targets — not so they could stop him, but so they could stay the hell out of his way.

Get your buns ass over there and subscribe. Now. Not safe for the kiddies, obviously. Congrats to Mur, Ben and Steve on filling up yet another slot on my iPod. Guess I’ll just go to be even later now!
