Fishhead and Another Dark Story | Nightshade Diary Podcast




LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

Fishhead is a 1913 horror short story by American author Irvin S. Cobb, set in the bayous of Reelfoot Lake, about a monstrous, outcast man-fish hybrid and his violent conflict with two local men, noted for its gruesome atmosphere and influence on H.P. Lovecraft. It's considered a classic of weird fiction, praised by Lovecraft himself for its "banefully effective" portrayal of "unnatural affinities" between the creature and the lake's fish.

X Marks the Pedwalk" by Fritz Leiber is a futuristic science fiction story that explores the tensions and violent conflicts between two factions: pedestrians and motorists in a society where the two groups live in starkly divided urban environments. The narrative comically exposes the increasing absurdity in their society's norms and expectations. Host - M.P.
