Soudapod, episode 976, Every Last Gossamer Strand by C.J. Dotson, narrated by Jess Lewis, hosted by Kat Day, with audio by Chelsea Davis.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing okay. I'm Kat, Deputy Editor Editor at Souterpod, your host for this week, and I'm excited to tell you

that for this week we have Every Last Gossamer Strand by C.J. Dotson.

This story is a Sudapod original.

C.J. Dodson possesses the statistically average number of body parts for a human being to have.

She and her husband, stepson and children, all of whom appear human, share a cabin in the woods

with more bugs and spiders than she would ever like to see.

In her limited spare time, she enjoys reading, video games, painting, baking and decorating

cakes with questionable success, and petting her puppy and five cats.

Her debut horror novel, The Cut, is now available wherever books are sold, and we've put a link in the show notes.

Find her on Blue Sky at Cj-Dotson.blusky.combe.

Jess Lewis is a trans, non-binary and pansexual writer, designer and voice actor who hails from the hollers of

Western North Carolina. They currently live in the Deep South, where they explore futures of

liberation and how to get there. When they're not imagining weird queer clify utopias, designing future tech or facilitating capacity-building workshops,

they're organising programming with their local queer community and the outer dark symposium on the greater weird.

Their work has appeared in a range of publications, including Solar Punk

Magazine, hyphen punk and collider trope. You can visit their website at www.com and

follow them on Instagram at Merry Noontide. Now, before we go any further, this story contains spiders.

Aachnophobes, be warned.

And it also alludes to emotional abuse.

So, now we have a story for you.
