Shawn | 1168 comments Hello all

I co-edit Pseudopod - the short horror fiction podcast, where you can download - for free - a weekly reading of a piece of short horror fiction: classic, modern & contemporary! We run the wide gamut of horror fiction, pay for the stories we run and have recently had episodes featuring names such as Joe R. Lansdale, Thomas Ligotti and a host of others! I normally post the new story announcement in the SHORT STORIES folder but figured I'd drop a quick note here for those interested. Below is the posting for this week's episode:

Last Friday on Pseudopod...

Inspiration, motivation, mutilation......

It's "Self Portrait With Embellishments" by Ryan Dull, expertly read for you by Joe Calarco!
