I've always wanted an audio podcast of fantastical shorts stories and now we have it. I've hand curated a selection of amazing short stories from emerging writers, mixed with classical tales. They focus on the fantastical (of course), absurd, outlandish, and fun both near and far in time and space. All read by either me (Judah Mahay) or the occasional guest reader.

    "Peyton Trent, Son of God" by Devin DeMarco

    "Peyton Trent, Son of God" by Devin DeMarco

    A new story by Devin DeMarco entitled Peyton Trent, Son of God narrated by guest actor Lorien Reese.



    Short Bio:



    Devin DeMarco is from a small town in upstate New York that you've never heard of.  Or maybe you have.  She doesn't know your life.  Anyway, she recently earned her MFA in Creative Writing and Literature from Stony Brook University.  She also writes fiction that's sometimes really weird, and sometimes only lowkey weird.  Her story Happy Birthday, Beatrice appeared in The Southampton Review.  It was about a dead cat.  Her own cat, in contrast, will never die.

    "In His Own Image" by Jeffrey Landgraf

    "In His Own Image" by Jeffrey Landgraf

    Episode 7 features the story "In His Own Image" by Jeffrey Landgraf. A twisted look into the mind of the self-aware created self.



    Short Bio:



    Dr. Jeffrey Landgraf is a physicist who employs paradox to find the perspective from which false things that are true, the common is ridiculous, and the ridiculous makes plain and simple sense.

    "The Red Dragon of Wales" by William Elliot Griffis

    "The Red Dragon of Wales" by William Elliot Griffis

    This is another throwback to a classic tale. I can't help but keep in the realm of the Arthurian Legends, but The Red Dragon of Wales comes from William Elliot Griffis and is part of a larger collection of fairy tales.

    "Bumps" by Matthew Hall

    Here we have "Bumps" by Matthew Hall. If anyone is interested in a twist of reality and a look at the end of things with a thrill, please listen to this story.



    Short Bio:



    Matthew Hall, beard aficionado and semi-pro eccentric, tries to find time to write in between meetings at the office.  He writes to dispel the ennui endemic in his daily life of accountancy and to explore worlds without spreadsheets and deadlines.
