PseudoPod 701: Technicolor | PseudoPod Come on, say it out loud with me: “And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” Look at that sentence. Who says Edgar Allan Poe was a lousy stylist?

Some short stories in conversation with each other #horrorsky #horrorReads #shortstories

John Langan's Technicolor pairs well with The Masque of the Red Death

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage.
A woman answers the door.
We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! 
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness
Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman,
the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them.
Do not cry mother. 
I am a writer now.

American Archive of Public Broadcasting A collaboration between GBH and the Library of Congress with a long-term vision to preserve and make accessible significant historical content created by public media.

This is great!

The American Archive of Public Broadcasting, to their eternal glory, have digitized more than 7,000 public radio and television programs from 1940 to the present.

It's a treasure trove of historic newsreels, interviews, speeches, and more.

This scene only works on film and ratchets the tension very uncomfortably.

Yeah the "ate his liver" line is actually more heady in the book, but the film version SOUNDS great.

I'll follow up with a specific point for Silence of the Lambs. That scene where the SWAT team is carefully setting up and getting into place and ringing the doorbell. Cut to the doorbell notification for Buffalo Bill and him opening the door to Clarice while the SWAT happens elsewhere.

Talked my book club into reading Silk and Sinew this month. Such a good anthology.

Apropos of nothing:
I know I can't buy every book I want to buy, so I focus on short fiction. New collection by @amalelmohtar.com or @thomasha.bsky.social ? Sign me up. Year's best anthology? Cool themed anthology? I'm there.

I love ISFSB so much. I even annoy the moderators on a regular basis by adding books and mess up formatting in at least one field per book 😅

Also Sarah's collections are always amazing. I look forward to putting each one on my shelf. Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea was one of my two standout fave collections for 2019. (The other was Matt Cardin's To Rouse Leviathan)

Love this! That's a major reason why PseudoPod does our anthology and collection showcase each year. Just in horror, there's 75 to 100 books each year for each category that could use assistance with getting more eyes on them.
