Ketchup

My short story “Snack Food,” a sly little tomato surprise originally published in Tales of the Unanticipated #24, has just been released as a podcast by the crew at Clone Pod.

This is one of those rare stories for which I can pinpoint exactly where I came up with the idea — in the SuperCuts in the Madonna Plaza in San Luis Obispo on the central California coast. Don’t you hate making small talk with somebody who’s got their hands in your hair? (Unless it's your lover, I mean.) It’s even worse when someone has their fingers in your mouth or your eyeballs, but chatting with a barber about inane things is not my favorite chore. Instead, I think weird thoughts!

Bruce McDonald does a nice job narrating the piece, and I encourage everyone to go give “Snack Food” a listen. It’s fun, it’s free, and, yes, it’s freaky. ;)

Their web site is right here.
