Let’s get right to it. Drabblecast is awesome. I know, I’m always saying that. This series of spoken word flash fiction, self described "strange stories for strange listeners; such as yourself", now has a separate feed, a proverbial B-Sides (RSS) of stories that are simply too amazing and out there for the already totally bonkers Drabblecast main-feed (RSS).
I am proud to say that my story "The Elves Hate You," is now a part of the B-sides feed. Now, you can either add the B-sides to your regular schedule of downloaded podcasts, or if you have a media player that doesn’t do the Mac-proprietary *.m4a format, then you can simply open the webpage here, and your browser will probably start playing Norm Sherman’s amazing performance of the story automatically.
There’s a lot to recommend this particular performance. Norm Sherman always does a great job of adding extra production value and sound effects to his stories, and his imitation of an elf’s musical laugh is itself worth the fifteen minutes or so of time investment this story represents.
Also, Jan Dennison made this totally awesome, and eerily accurate picture to illustrated the story.
This is actually the third publication of "The Elves Hate You." You can still get it as a PDF in the Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine Best of Horror Anthology. So if you like "The Elves Hate You" and you think to yourself, "if only I had the extended version of "The Elves Hate You", with almost 50% more jokes," then that wish is only one short paypal transaction away.
