Litcast Of Doom

We're back and better than ever with a brand new debut, THE HEREAFTER BYTES by Vincent Scott!  Is there anything better than a thought-provoking sci-fi murder mystery?  (Yes, actually - a FUNNY thought-provoking sci-fi murder mystery!)  Also featured: murder puppies, arrow aces (wink wink nudge nudge), and a couple callbacks to my years in grad school writing a master's thesis!

We're back and better than ever! When a small-town librarian witnesses a murder, he reacts in the oddest possible way: an out-of-body experience. We're talking OUT OF BODY by Jeffrey Ford, set for publication on May 26th! Also featured: throwing down some money for the swear jar, exposition on feelings for The Hunger Games, the ever-pressing question of how you want to be mourned, and much more!
