AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A frustrated male finds ill-fated solace with a shape-changing succubus. The demon manifests for intercourse in various feminine forms including a disastrous incarnation of the man's ex-girlfriend, whose plump thighs and sagging breasts are apparently not worth reinventing. But his realised fantasy life eventually proves even less desirable than unfortunate reality.

    Pseudopod is a weekly horror podcast magazine that publishes chilling short stories from some of the genre's best authors in audio format. It was first made public in 2006.

    Although Pseudopod does not publish science fiction and fantasy stories, leaving these to its sister podcasts Escape Pod (science fiction) and PodCastle (fantasy), there are no set rules on content, especially given that these genres often crossover.
