Sudeapod, episode 983 for July 4th, 2025.

Graveworms by Molly Tanzer.

Narrated by the Word Hall and Preston Buttons, hosted by Kat Day, audio production by Chelsea Davis.

Hey everyone, hope you're doing okay.

I'm Kat, Deputy Editor at Sudapod, your host for this week,

and I'm excited to tell you that for this week we have Graveworms by Molly Tanzer.

This story first appeared in Casilda's song,

Tales inspired by Robert W. Chambers' King in Yellow Mythos, an anthology, edited by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.

Molly Tanza is the award-winning author of five novels, two collections and many works of short fiction.

Her novella, and side-by-side they

wonder, will be out in May 26 from Tor.com. She lives close to Boulder, Colorado, with her

many houseplants. Find her on Blue Sky at mollytanzer.blusky.com. The word whore and pressin buttons hosted,

Air Out My Shorts for a 10-year stint.

The duo narrated unvetted works of listener-submitted short fiction,

often absentmindedly, always drunkenly,

and completely unencumbered by any relevant credentials, from 2005 through 2015.

Rumours of a reboot of this offbeat Canadian classic have been greatly exaggerated.

Now, before we go any further, a small heads-up, As the first publication information suggests, this story references Robert Chambers,

The King in Yellow, and as such alludes to delusions and mental illness.

If that's difficult for you, give this one a miss.

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