Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses, keeping you from sleep.

It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night.

Welcome, fellow denizens of the dark and macabre.

My name is Steve Gagin, and I'm a narrator and member of the slush readers cadre here at Tales to Terrify. And I'm honored to be your guide down our hemlock-strewn

portal. As you may have noticed, Drew is still missing in action, but I'm sure, giving the tenacity of our beloved hellhounds,

we should be able to dig up at least a big enough piece of him to reanimate.

Just a gentle reminder that our submission's wormhole is still open and hungry.

So shake those nightmares free of the cobwebs they're tractant, and check out our submissions tab

for complete details.

We have one story this evening which comes to us from James Cato.

James Cato is an environmental organizer and lives in Pittsburgh with his pet gecko.

Look for him in reckoning, smoke-long Quarterly, and Daily Science Fiction, among

others. Follow him on Twitter at the underscore Sourr underscore Potato. His writing is compiled on

jameskato author.com. His first collection,

becoming roadkill,

is forthcoming soon

from Redbird chapbooks.
