This episode’s reading carries content warnings for children in perilous situations and description of injuries. The reading is 10:30 long.

This time around, it’s my pleasure to welcome Foz Meadows (@fozmeadows)! Foz reads an excerpt from his trunked novella, “Blood Penance,” which leads us into a great conversation about idea magpies, internet purity culture, horror, and kink.
