The Body is a Blade

The Ugly Radio

Wear Headphones for this one, this episode aims to make your skin crawl. Celebrating a legacy of body-horror in fiction, we've got three segments tonight guaranteed to give your late-night listening a jolt.
An unsuspecting crew member of a starship has a battle of wits with a shape-shifter in Darrin Schultz' "A Friend Amongst Us". In Cole Hornaday's "Squamous is the Night", a group chat tells the story of an insidious home infestation and the lengths we're willing to go to eradicate a pest. Finally, a young teenager at the turn of the century longs for companionship... but she'll settle for creating her own in the spine tingling horror that is "Hortense" by Kelleen Blanchard. Plus we have music guest, Michael Lee aka Babie! Check out Michael Lee at https://soundcloud.com/babiesounds .
