PSEUDOPOD returns
Hello all - PSEUDOPOD continues to supply a weekly short horror story for free, in audio form, by a full range of authors (Classic, Modern, Current & New) - every week, a new tentacle. Was there an episode of PSEUDOPOD you particularly loved this past year? Did something scare/engage/bother/impress you? PLEASE consider nominating that episode for a 2014 PARSEC Award (eligible stories featured such luminaries as Thomas Ligotti and Joe R. Lansdale!) The list of potential nominees is below (it covers episodes run from May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014 - so for those of you who like to spoil your own surprises, you can find out what are next 3 episodes are!). I cannot tell from the PARSEC pages below if people can nominate more than one episode (you can certainly nominate in more than one category) - I imagine so because nominations are pared down by the committee. (Unfortunately, due to character limits, I can't provide links to each of these episodes - most can be found in this page's Pseudopod thread proper, as well as at PSEUDOPOD or from our Wikipedia entry PSEUDOPOD itself is eligible for:
