A new horror short story podcast is out called
Pseudopod. It is biweekly and the sister show to
Escape Pod. This weeks show is called Bag Man by
Scott Sigler. Here is a teaser:
I swallowed. I didn’t want this to happen. I knew the game. Bag Man
always called the cops and gave them a code. He gave that same code to the
victim. Even after two years of killings, the fucking cranks were still
calling 9-1-1, claiming the Bag Man had called them and that they needed
protection. His codes solved that problem. He was a damn courteous kid.
Thing was, the codes became more of a warning to the cops than a way to
separate out the sick, attention-starved loonies. The cops wanted to confirm
Bag Man’s targets - not so they could stop him, but so they could stay the
hell out of his way.
