EscapePod. Episode 1028 What Any Dead Thing Wants by Amy Ogden, Part 3 of 3. Hello and welcome to EscapePod, your weekly science fiction podcast. I am your host this week, Tina

Connolly, and I am here to bring you the third and final part of What Any Dead Thing Once

by Amy Ogden.

Again, this is part three, so if you are here for the first time, go time travel back two weeks and start there, okay?

The story first appeared in Psycho Pump.

Amy Ogden is an American werewolf in the Netherlands.

What Any Dead Thing wants is her second Nabila finalist work.

Her first was her debut novella's son-daughters, sea daughters.

Her other short fiction has previously appeared in publications such as Strange Horizons, Clark's World, and Beneaths Seaseless Skies.

And her fantasy novella Starstruck recently came out from Psychopomp.

She would make for a very annoying ghost.

Your narrator this week is Isaac Harwood.

Scientists by day, the evenings and weekends are her family,

but Isaac still finds the time for plenty of tabletop RPGs and other such delightfully nerdy nonsense.

Stories have always been a strong passion of Isaacs, and bringing them to life with writing and voice acting is his privilege and honor.

Your audio producer this week is the marvelous summer books.

Content notes, in this story, you will again find some swearing as well as some destruction

of galactic ecosystems.

So get ready to binge on your buttersweet stash because it's story time. What Any Dead Thing Wants by Amy Ogden. Read by Isaac Harwood.

stripping off all his clothes.

Alone, he opts for an irresponsibly long hot shower.
