SudaPod, episode 989, August 15th, 2025.

This week's story, dimorphism by Jesse and York, narrated by Marie Lestrange.

Hosted by Alster Stewart, audio by Chelsea Davis.

Content warnings galore this week, folks, including animal harm across multiple species,

Welcome to Sudapod, the weekly horror podcast. I'm Alistair, your host, and this week's story comes to us from Jesse Ann York.

Jesse and York's stories have been featured at several professional rate horror markets,

including Us, Bastarian, Cemetery Gates media, love letters to Poe, and more.

Her first two stories, faces of the shadow and women of the mere, were mentioned as standouts in the summation section of the best horror of the year, Volume 13, and her two most recent short

stories, Dymorphism, and Mother of the Wind, were mentioned as standouts on the summation

section of the best horror of the year, Volume 16. Her creative work is represented by Elizabeth Copse, the founding agent of Copse

literary. Dymorphism first appeared in seasons of severance, an anthology collection hybrid

published by Gates Media in 2023. The short story features reoccurring characters who appear throughout the rest of York's

mini collection within seasons of severance.

York's interconnected short stories are primarily set in rural Middle Tennessee,

where she grew up as a child playing in the creeks and caves.

Your narrator this week is Marie Lestrange.

Dr. Marie Lestrange is an artist, musician and author with a particular interest in historical horror.
