Artist Accepted for PseudoPod Sunday

The email came yesterday: ­We’re very happy to say we’d like to accept “The Artist” to run at PseudoPod!You can expect the contract in a separate email from our Contracts Administrator (usually within 2-4 weeks).

The story, “The Artist” (see August 27 2014, et al.) is one about a special sort of art — indeed PSEUDOPOD editors Shawn Garrett and Alex Hofelich suggested a title change for audio purposes to “Some Say Art Deals With the Unexpected,” which I okayed — and originally appeared in the anthology SPLATTERLANDS (Grey Matter Press, 2013). A, shall we say, “unexpected” art. But, what kind might that be. . . ?

Let us just say that anthology title might offer a hint.

While as for PSEUDOPOD, to quote their original call: PseudoPod is a genre magazine in audio form. We’re looking for horror . . . dark, weird fiction. We run the spectrum from grim realism or crime drama, to magic-realism, to blatantly supernatural dark fantasy. We publish highly literary stories reminiscent of Poe or Lovecraft as well as vulgar shock-value pulp fiction. . . . Well, you get the idea.
