Cast Macabre runs a wide range of stories from all around the world. Some have classic supernatural tropes, others just take the every day to the extreme, some make you laugh, others shudder, but they're all delightfully dark in some way, and all high quality. We've run stories by new and upcoming authours, as well as established writers, such as Tim Pratt, and the Bram Stoker awarding-winning poet, Marge Simon.

Past narrators include, Norm Sherman, Alasdair Stuart, Rish Outfield, and Julie Hoverson

So, I made a new website, which I couldn't afford to maintain, and I have only just managed to get around to getting the old website back and remove the redirect! I only managed to put out one episode on the new site, and here it is. The date of this post doesn't match when this episode was originally put out. I'll look into making sure the iTunes feed is functional. While I have no plans to resurrect this podcast from the dead, at least now the archives are reopened! I am due to discuss future plans soon with my crew over at Cast of Wonders. Narrated by Bob Eccles Click to play or download the MP3.

Read by Barry J. Northern Click to play or download the MP3. Show Notes For Neil Gaiman and Mike Carlos Edward Morris is a 2005 British Science Fiction Association Award nominee, also nominated for the 2009 Rhysling Award. To date, he has sold 74 short stories worldwide, including sales to Interzone(#200, 'Imagine'), Pseudopod (#106, 'Jihad Over Innsmouth') , and most recently Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year #2 ("Lotophagi.") He's a three-year veteran panelist at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and the Oregon Science Fiction Convention. "Sinners In The Hands of An Angry God" is a story-poem after the style of many of the poems in Neil Gaiman's SMOKE & MIRRORS. John Shirley gave him the idea when he mentioned British Petroleum and a certain Elder God in the same Facebook post. He called this one "a good idea" when he read it. I hope you agree.
