It’s the holiday season, even under the acid-washed black snowfall that covers the Failed Cities. For Reverend Ethan Grant, the holidays are about balancing brief moments of joy with long nights of blood. And the night has just begun…

Nothin’ like a good hangin’ to bring folks together. ‘Frontier justice’ is what they called it back in the day. Brutal, maybe, but efficient. Those days are back, but with a twist.
Strangers just ain’t what they used to be.

Well Told Tales has a fun series that they have been running called “I Killed Awesome Man.” I’m a guest voice in episode 5. http://welltoldtales.com/2009/02/05/i-killed-awesomeman-episode-5/
“I Killed Awesome Man” is written and produced by Finn Colgan. It is the story a mild-mannered comic book shop clerk who accidentally kills his favorite superhero… then must assume his identity to save the world.
It is a fun story in the style of an old-time pulp serial. Check it out, it is a lot of fun.
Visit www.ikilledawesomeman.com for more information.
A botched deal. A quietly menacing, unholy, fatherly crime boss. A waking nightmare of small-time criminals, gothic bars, and neon churches. Johnny finds himself immersed in a dark, sinister underworld, struggling desperately to hold on as his humanity slips away.

The latest Pseudopod story, “Front Row Seats” by Scott William Carter, features Rick Stringer as the narrator. We thing Variant Frequencies fans will like this story.
FRONT ROW SEATS by Scott William Carter
Daniel lingered in his cramped office at the University of Minnesota long after the other professors in the Math department called it a day. He was still there when all the lights under all the doors winked out and the parking lot outside his window was a bleak, snow-draped emptiness. He was at his desk when old Cal Thomas from Geography shuffled past, taking his incessant coughing with him. He stayed until the equations on shifted lattices turned to squirrelly nonsense, lines and squiggles on ruled pages, until finally he felt the thing creep into his thoughts, that black starfish wrapping its prickly limbs around whatever memories he chose to dwell upon, making his ears ring and his eyes water.
