Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast, episode 464.

The Drabblecast is an audio fiction podcast magazine that brings strange stories by strange authors to strange listeners, such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

This week we've got a really creepy one for you, folks, so hold on.

We bring you a Drabblecast original story called The Followers Revel by Jonathan Louise Duckworth.

Jonathan's a completely normal, entirely human

person with the right number of heads and everything. He received his MFA from Florida International

University. His speculative fiction work appears in pseudopod, beneath ceaseless skies, Southwest

Review, Flash Fiction Online, and elsewhere. He's a PhD student at the University of North Texas,

where he serves as the interviews editor at American Literary Review,

and he's also an active HWA member.

So without further ado, we bring you

The Followers Revel by Jonathan Louise Duckworth.

up the slope.
