Consternation of Monsters: The Podcast

 Eric Fritzius

A podcast adaptation of stories from the fiction collection A Consternation of Monsters, by Eric Fritzius. A consternation, as you should remember from grade school, is the collective noun for monsters. It is therefore a fitting title for a collection of short stories that each contain monsters of various sorts and shades. In these tales, a creature of make-believe proves difficult to disbelieve, a trickster-god takes an unkindly interest in witnesses, eldritch horrors can be summoned using a quilt, frustrated wolves face dangerous prey, the angel of death wears a plaid sport coat, wise old women are to be feared and heeded, the corpses of legends can be perilous to have around, Elvis remains the once and future king of rock & roll, and where one of the most powerful and potentially destructive objects in the world is a fork. This podcast will adapt selected stories from this book, which can be found at misterherman.com and can now be found as an unabridged audio book via Audible.com.
