About this listen

In a future shaped by the escalating tensions of the Cold War, society has retreated underground to escape the relentless threat of atomic and ionic bombs, living in a world free from the prying eyes of satellites. While most embrace this subterranean life, Gusterson stands out as a quirky oddball, choosing to remain topside. His creativity becomes a valuable resource for the less imaginative moles below, who eagerly seek his innovative ideas. However, one of his concepts, despite his dire warnings, spirals into a horrifying reality, manifesting as the terrifying TICKLER‚Aîa creature that wields the power to control minds. Join us for a chilling journey into this dystopian nightmare, first published in Galaxy magazine in 1961, narrated by Phil Chenevert.
