'Appearance' in the title of this post is metaphorical - you can't see me, but you can
hear me reading Stephen Gaskell's story "
Everyone Carries a Shadow" in the 50th episode of
Pseudopod, the weekly horror podcast.
I enjoy reading for other people, especially short stories, but I appreciate that my voice is only appropriate for some. This is my third reading for Pseudopod, and I'll be interested in the reaction this story garners. My previous two readings were Michael Stone's "
Sacred Skin" and
Eugie Foster's "
Oranges, Lemons and Thou Beside Me" - both of which were extremely creepy (the Foster was also highly disturbing).
I've also read in the past for Pseudopod's elder sibling
Escape Pod, my first being
Scott Janssens' flash story "
Paradox", and subsequently a two-hander with
Tee Morris, "
Are You Ready For the End of the World?" by
Danny Adams. But the story I had most fun with was Steve Eley's "
The Malcontent" which he asked me to read for Escape Pod's 50th episode.
(I like stories that operate on more than one level, and "The Malcontent" was one of those - lots of fun, but with deeper meaning evident as the story progressed.)
I've also read for
The Time Traveller Show, and for its offshoot
Wonder Audio, whose stories are now available for purchase from
Audible and
iTunes.
And in a fit of enthusiasm I read three chapters of Jules Verne's
A Journey to the Interior of the Earth and one chapter of Bram Stoker's
Dracula, both for
LibriVox.
