About this listen
A soliloquy from a ghost annoyed by a haunted-house tour coming through her home; a demonic viewfinder that’s indebted to M.R. James; and a bloodthirsty Ayn Rand wielding a chainsaw.
The Gospels of Extinction is a mix of horror, humor, and speculative fiction–all leavened with literary yeast. It’s a short-story collection debut indebted to the great American tradition of the incredible and sometimes terrifying prospects of a New World.
The other stories include a backyard portal to a past of utter American genocide; the disappearing world closing in around the mind of an Alzheimer’s patient; graverobbing Ernest Hemingway; the undiscovered gene linking all serial killers throughout human history; a Thanksgiving gone cannibalistic; a “slasher” story with a social-justice twist; a phone call from the longest distance of all… beyond the grave; and the intergenerational afterlife inheritance from a Mesoamerican death cult. Some of these are brief flash pieces; others are a bit longer.
All are little worlds brought to life through the words of Seth Augenstein. They’re sequenced to keep the listener going long past bedtime—and into the realm of that twilight strangeness before the darkness shuts everything out.
