an insatiable hunger for cats
Proving that the Internet contains something for almost everyone, the guys over at Bizzarocast have kindly put a reading up of my short story, "An Insatiable Hunger For Cats". It's Episode 45 of their on-going mission to make people's ears turn inside out and their eyes question the reality of all they see.
The tale begins like this:
My hunger for cats started when I was young.
That need, I guess you could call it a taste for things feline, stayed with me
through my teens and now, years later, it’s still a part of me, no matter how
many people disapproved along the way or tried to beat it out of me – like my
father for instance, who took to walloping me regular, so that I got to
thinking he liked doing that almost as much as I liked sniffing after
cats.

Readings can make or break a piece of fiction, and I think Chris brings a great "waster" drawl to the piece that's just perfect for the story. And it's a darn sight more listenable to with his voice than anything my flat Yorkshire vowels could produce.
The story starts about 25 minutes into the cast, for non-regulars of the podcast who just want the fiction. And you can download it for free from I-Tunes. Or support the guys by making a donation to their site by clicking on the appropriately titled Donate button.
