Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast, episode 370. The Drabble

Cast is a weekly audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by

strange authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

Lovecraft Month concludes this week

with an original commission story by Carolyn M. Yoakum called The Little Mermaid of Insmith.

What a fantastic month that's been folks, bringing you brand new travel cast generated fiction

with your critical and much appreciated

donation money and what a fantastic story to close out on and what a close to a

close we have in store after this week's story we've got a special and hilarious musical

number written and get this performed by Carolyn herself. She's actually got a

great voice. You know how I like to write and throw in my own music a lot of the times

and instances like this, the last story of Lovecraft Month here on the Travelcast? Carolyn totally

stepped up and stole the Stygian

stage this year folks and I'm happy to let her do it.

This is the first time in Drabblecast and hell

episode, but also an elder got-turn song.

I'm sure you can't wait.
