This episode is sponsored by The Far Reaches, a collection of science fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart.

When I was growing up, I remember being fascinated with all things sci-fi.

So when I got the chance to tell you all about The Far Reaches, I embraced those fun memories and cryogenically froze myself so I could live in the future.

It wasn't the first time I'd completely misread a situation.

Now I have all these giant bug aliens after me.

Do better than me.

And instead of locking yourself in an older refrigerator, which may have brought me to the future,

or may have caused enough oxygen deprivation for me to just think I'm in the future,

go to www.amazon.co.uk slash creep and check out The Far Reaches for yourself.

These are stories to take you out of this world.

Look outward, be on the stars with six stories from the best-selling visionary authors, Veronica Roth,

James S. A. Corey, John Scalzi, and Leckie, Rebecca Ronorce, and Niddy Acora IV.

Download one story or read the whole collection.

The collection is available at www.amazon.co.uk slash creep.

That's www.amazon.co.uk slash creep, and Amazon Prime Members,

or those with a Kindle Unlimited subscription can listen and read at no additional cost.

Hey everyone, before I get to this week's story, just a couple of things to mention.

First, we're only a week away from the 31 days of horror.

That's 31 straight days of listener requested and listener written stories.

Hours and hours and hours of stories to help everyone get in the mood for Halloween.

It's been a lot of work.

I hope you enjoy it.
