Pleading post on behalf of Tales to Terrify
Because the splendid weekly horror-fiction podcast Tales to Terrify has at least 4,000 weekly listeners — I am one of them — I cannot help but think that there must be some overlap between the readers of this site and TtT’s listeners. If so, I have some bad news which I wish to convey, if you haven’t heard it already. The podcast is in financial crisis. Podcast founder Tony C. Smith is essentially financing it out if his own pocket at this point, and he can’t do this indefinitely. Unless it gets a financial boost from listeners, Tony estimates that it will have to shut down in about ten weeks.
It would be a great shame if we lost Tales to Terrify. Over the past few years they’ve done many fine narrations of first-rate fiction. It was given a solid foundation by the late Larry Santoro, and it continues to be strong under its new host Stephen Kilpatrick. Like so many of the finest things on the Internet it is free to all; there’s no paywall and as far as I can tell no external advertising. But that means that TtT depends on individual donors — people like you and me — to keep up and running.
Let’s not let Tales to Terrify die. If you are a listener, please consider going over to the main Tales to Terrify page and clicking on one of the links on the right-hand side of the page. You can make a one-time donation or — what might be far more helpful still — can become a monthly subscriber.
I thank you.

Single panel. A row of tubes in the lab, the ones which, at minimum, contained the brains of Amy, Faith, and Grace, all now similarly empty save for a cluster of bubbles.
Caption: It is too late for everyone, gentlemen.
Caption: A new kind of mind is taking over.

PAGE 26 (Four panels)
Panel One: Macneil, standing behind the tray we’ve just seen in the previous panel, looking down at it.
Caption: And we think that knowing why would be the key to preventing future attacks. Saving lives, Dr. Montclair.
Panel Two: Hope, looking down at one of the panels on one of the pedestals, focusing on it intensely (she really doesn’t want to look at anything else in the room).
Hope: I see this is very serious, but I don’t understand why you’ve come to me. Isn’t this a FBI or a CDC matter? Or something for the military?
Panel Three: Another view looking down at Xu and Hope from “within the cylinder.”
Dr. Xu: It’s the brains, Dr. Montclair. They’re active. They appear to be thinking. And remembering. And feeling…
Panel Four: Xu and Macneil side by side. Xu is leaning forward slightly, his hands outstretched, as if in a gesture of supplication. Macneil stands straight and looks tough and stoical.
Dr. Xu: If we could just know what they thinking, it might be a vital clue…
Macneil: We might be able to prevent future attacks…

PAGE 23 (Four panels)
Panel One: Hope facing Macneil and Xu.
Hope: Look, gentlemen, if you’re looking for help investigating a surgically-inspired serial killer I have to tell you, it’s really not my field…
Macneil: Not a killer, exactly, Dr. Montclair.
Panel Two: Dr. Xu, gently touching Hope’s sleeve, directing Hope’s attention to something.
Dr. Xu: Perhaps this will be easiest to understand if you would direct your attention to one of those monitors…
Panel Three: Hope bending forward, looking down at a screen on one of the pedestals. She’s frowning at what she is seeing.
Hope: It’s…no, this can’t be right…not for this brain.
Panel Four: Close-up of the screen. It’s a “brain scan,” showing a human brain, but with different regions of the brain “lit-up” with bright patches of color.
Caption: This brain is teeming with activity.

Squick or Squee 2014: Liquification lab raid
Halloween approaches, and it’s time again for that annual Erotic Mad Science tradition known as Squick or Squee week, in which old Dr. Faustus reaches into his art commission budget and invites artists to produce work that might be…controversial.
Our first entry this year is from one of the first artists ever commissioned to make works here, 3D artist Niceman. Following a suggestion I put to him, Niceman has created a lab in which a scientist is working on people liquifying technology, perhaps as a way of putting people into a stable stasis for form deep space travel. Unfortunately, criminals have gotten wind of what she’s up to and resolved to steal the technology, in the process liquifying one of her assistants as a warning as to what might happen to her if she fails to be cooperative.
The liquification process deserves a detail close-up, which Niceman has provided.
