Hey everyone, welcome to Sudapod the Weekly Horror Podcast.

I'm Alistair, your host, and this week's story comes to us from the magnificent ACY's.

AC, much like Tricia last week is one of those authors

whose work all demands attention and is a frequent flyer in these parts. We'll put the link to their

official escape artist's page in the show notes.

Go click listen, discover just how amazing they are.

Your reader for this week is, well, me.

or co-running escape artists think he's professionally enthusiastic about genre fiction on the internet at places like Tour dot-con,

Barnes and Noble, The Guardian, uncanny magazine, SciFi Now, and his own blog, The Man of Words.

He's an any nominated tabletop RPG writer for his work on Doctor Who adventures in time and space.

His other RPG writing includes Star Trek The Laundry Files, Primeval, Victoriana, All Flesh Must Be Eden, N. E. W.

Chill, and the recently completed after the war, co-created with Jason Peter.

Basically, he has a playbook for any variety of invasion you could name.

He lives in the UK with the love of his life and their ever expanding herd of microphones.
