did what needed to be done, because I'm no coward

[spiraling-vastly]

If the spoopy unsettling podcast doesn't have at least one reference to sus/weird meat or a cannibalism metaphor (or actual cannibalism) it it really a queer horror podcast????

I made the top one and then remembered David so had to add him.

Man do I have a type or what?

My daughter did not exist before last night.

Audio is from the (excellent) podcast I am in Eskew, episode 22, written by Jon Ware and Munna Hussen, voiced by Jon Ware. They also make the (excellent) podcast The Silt Verses and you can find them on tumblr at @thesiltverses!

Art is by me (Emma). I am me, for the time being.

Sometimes when l tell people I like horror podcasts they go "oh, same, I love true crime!!" and I just have to nod along, because there is no way to explain to them that we exist in entirely separate worlds and also that my opinion of them just went down by like 15%

My wife is walking towards me across the dancefloor, and as she passes, the hollow dancers wither, their ribcages folding in upon themselves, bowing in deflation.

Allegra’s face is cut with blood-black lines, etched squares and streets.

Her face is a jigsaw. Her face is a map.

Her eyes are doorways.

Humour me for a second-

Imagine that you and a podcast protagonist of your choice are on a road trip- but you're lost, going in circles, stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no supplies and no signal.

However, there is an old paper map in the car, which your blorbo can interpret for you whilst you keep your eyes on the road.

So, with all that being said...

[alivehouse]

surely a top david ward moment of all time

The city gave me a daughter, and I turned away.
