Welcome to Sudapod, the weekly horror podcast. We will show you fear in a handful of syllables.

Go forward at your own risk.

Sudapod, episode 779, October 15th, 2021. This week's story, Towel Brushbone by Audrey

R. Hollis. A quick word before we continue, this week's story, and in particular this week's

outro, resonate with and discuss a couple of new stories, which our UK listeners will be familiar with,

and which are pretty distressing. If issues of discrimination against women and abuse of all sorts,

are ones you are not comfortable listening to, this is not an episode for you. And I mean that

with absolute respect to everyone involved in the production of it, we would all much rather have

you entertainingly frightened than genuinely traumatized by one of our episodes. So please,

if you think this one isn't for you, we don't take it personally, step away and we'll see you next time.

This story comes to us from Audrey R. Hollis, and was originally published in the Iron Horse

Literary Review in January of this year, that being 2021. Audrey R. Hollis is an MFA candidate

at Purdue University and alumni of Clarion 2018. Her fiction has appeared in Lady Churchill's Rose

Bud wristlet, strangerisings and catapult among other places. She was a winner of the AWP Intro

Journals Award and a Neil Award for Creative Writing. She lives in Lafayette, Indiana with her

spouse and cat. You can follow her on Twitter and at Audrey R. Hollis. Your reader for this week

is Ibera Mancass, so get ready, because as I said at the top of the episode, more so even the

unusual, we have a story for you, and we promise you it's true.

altitude sick and irritated by the spotty signal. We keep refreshing our phones,
