The New Weird discussion

First, let me welcome all the new members. I hope you enjoy your stay and get loads of New Weird suggestions.

Next, I recently discovered Pod-Cast (probably way behind the rest of you on this), but the three below might be of interest to everyone.

So far, I've been impressed by the quality of the fiction and the readers. The few times I was less than impressed I still got my moneys worth as it's all free.

Throw a few of those on your iPod and check them out on your next commute.

Podiobooks is good, but it's often a chore to find something worthwhile since there doesn't seem to be any quality control.

Hall of Mirrors by Mike Bennett is also a lot of fun. The stories aren't always the most original, but he scores points for execution and showmanship.

I've uploaded a new podcast reading of "The Cat, the Rat & the Beetle"...a short psychological horror piece in the tradition of Poe.
