3 Spooky Radio Stories
November 1, 2012 § 5 Comments
Because Halloween should last all autumn, don’t you think?
I’m mourning the end of October by sharing what was a pretty exciting Halloween present for me, to have three–not 1 but 3!–short stories of mine read by actors and performed for the radio on OSU’s Writers Talk, for its 4th annual Halloween show. Plus, at the end, an interview with RL Stine! LITTLE KNOWN FACT: RL Stine was an OSU alum like myself, and was known, both there and in his days at MAD Magazine, as “Jovial Bob Stine.”
The first, a longer short story, is called “Good Creatures, Small Things,” and is chock full of strange creatures in the Appalachian woods, and–sorry, narrative purists–it goes backwards. Fun!
The last two (about halfway in) are short-shorts: “Her Honeymoon,” featuring a jealous telekinetic lover, and “The Nursemaids,” a study in infant vampirism and its effects on matrimony.

Cate this is SO AWESOME. Just downloaded and can’t wait to listen!
Thanks! I’d love to know what you think. Hope your new job is treating you well!
I just listened to this today. All three stories are awesome, but “Good Creatures, Small Things” is my favorite. I love how you structured it, and how it build tension. I look forward to reading more of your work as it come out,
Jennifer, thank you so much! I’m just thrilled someone listened to it–your nice comments are the icing on the cake.
I love radio drama. Wish it would make a comeback in a big way.
