Summer has arrived and here at Pseudopod we have a full compliment of stories for your battered, scorched ears. Dead and unwholesome things in the water and on the beach; amazing and terrible transmutations in small communities; the tyranny of objects and puppets and awful history, sexual perversion and violence... and the end of the world a few times over. So don't forget: "The sun is coming / The dragon flies / His breath will drown / This world with astral fire"
This week on Pseudopod....In the heat of the Summer, a call reverberates across Reelfoot Lake...
It's "Fishhead" by Irvin S. Cobb from 1913, read for you by... someone...

I don't usually do my Pseudopod promo postings in this group because we do new horror fiction, but I figured this week's episode, a comedic-horror tribute to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Telltale Heart" - might be of interest (and in two weeks, we'll be having our 250th episode, and anniversary episodes are reserved for classic stories, so I'll probably post on that as well):
