https://pseudopod.org/2022/09/30/pseudopod-830-the-honey-witch/ For those of you wishing to just dip your toes into horror try this lovely sapphic romantic horror short story. If you love poetry, sensory overloaded language that makes you inhale, taste, and hear things as you listen, give this a try. A beekeeper high in hills gets a visitor and after the visitor leaves there is an accident. What seems like tragedy finds its way to love and 👇🏼

Reggie then the horrific. It didn‘t hurt that the narrator had a Kiera Knightly voice that has all those wonderful mouth sounds that happen when they speak. And the way she says hand that rhymes with wand. And it didn‘t hurt that I was eating just the red starbursts when listening to this story which really plugged me into the sumptuous language of this beekeeper character. I was on, still am, on a honey horror high after listening to this. Pick!!! 2y

Reggie @SamAnne @erzascarletbookgasm the tagged book is where the story first appeared but the link in the review will take you to where you can listen to the story. It‘s just a 30 minute listen. And it also has the transcript if you‘d rather read than listen.💛 🐝 2y
