My recent dive into the world of audio books has lead me to my other interest - short stories.
Lightspeed Magazine has been in my circle of magazines since it launched in 2010. John Joseph Adams is the editor and anthologist who has been making quite a splash in the world of short fiction.
The Magazine has always been an interesting hybrid, half the issue is available online for free. For the complete issue you only have to drop $3.99 which is a real bargain.
They also podcast the free stories which is something I really appreciate.
I have often thought it would be a cool idea to go back into the archives of Analog or some other, now-defunct pulp magazine and podcast the stories.
But what about this story?
It's about a down-on-his-luck undead teenaged boy who is trying to earn a little bit of rent money for his down-on-her-luck mother.
He decides to leverage his "undead-ness" to do so.
It really was an interesting idea. It was also touching and deeply rooted in humanity.
It was a good read.
Lightspeed Magazine November 2016 issue.
