This week's story, The New Mother by Lucy Clifford.

Hello everyone, welcome to Pseudopodod the weekly horror podcast I'm

Alistet your host and I'm joined this week by our audio production engineer

Chelsea Davis and also by this story from Lucy Clifford. Lucy married the

mathematician and philosopher William Kingsden Clifford, in 1875.

After his death in 1879, she earned a prominent piece in English literary life as a novelist and later as a dramatist.

Her best-known story, Mrs Keith's Crime, 1885, was well away several other volumes.

She also wrote several collections, including the last touches and other stories, and

mere stories, and a play, a woman alone.

She is perhaps most often remembered, however, as the author of the any-house stories,

moral and otherwise, a collection of stories she had written for her children.

And this is where this week's story comes to us from.

The new mother may seem familiar, as you can draw lines straight from here to Gaiman's

Coraline and scary stories to tell in the dark. She'll see. Taking us

there is the extraordinary Eliza Cham. Eliza is a writer and occasional narrator of

speculative fiction. She has narrated for Cast of Wonders and Starship sofa and Sudapod,

and finds it endlessly amusing that people finds her Scottish accent soothing.

She has her own work featured in podcast with Artemis Rising this year and also in Fantasy magazine.

Mathilla Review and Tales to Terrify.
