If you like, check out last week's Tales To Terrify podcast, where you can hear me perform the story "The Sin Eater's Chrysalis" by Matt Hollingsworth.
It tells the story of a lonely, bitter man who, like his father before him, is able to consume the sins of the recently-dead so that they can go to Heaven, using some pretty disgusting supernatural methods. But every consumption takes its mental and spiritual toll on the sin-eater, so he determines that nobody will follow in his footsteps. It's a dark one, more so than . . . gee, any story in memory I've been asked to do, and way more so than anything I've written. Sound fun?
I suppose this could be considered a cursed production, because I recorded and edited the story, sent it in, and only heard back the next year to learn that the podcast didn't have my audio. Not a huge deal, since I always keep my file until the show is released . . . except this time, apparently. Not sure why I had deleted it, because now we were both a bit scragged.* Even so, I sat down and re-recorded the story, transferred it, and re-edited the sucker. This is the ONLY time I've ever done this, in the, what, fifteen years I've put in narrating stories for podcasts.
Was it worth it? Go TO THIS LINK to find out.
*Of course, about a month later, I did find the original recording on my back-up SD Card, though far, far too late.
