I've always wanted an audio podcast of fantastical shorts stories and now we have it. I've hand curated a selection of amazing short stories from emerging writers, mixed with classical tales. They focus on the fantastical (of course), absurd, outlandish, and fun both near and far in time and space. All read by either me (Judah Mahay) or the occasional guest reader.

    "Peyton Trent, Son of God" by Devin DeMarco

    A new story by Devin DeMarco entitled Peyton Trent, Son of God narrated by guest actor Lorien Reese. Short Bio: Devin DeMarco is from a small town in upstate New York that you've never heard of.  Or maybe you have.  She doesn't know your life.  Anyway, she recently earned her MFA in Creative Writing and Literature from Stony Brook University.  She also writes fiction that's sometimes really weird, and sometimes only lowkey weird.  Her story Happy Birthday, Beatrice appeared in The Southampton Review.  It was about a dead cat.  Her own cat, in contrast, will never die.

    This is another throwback to a classic tale. I can't help but keep in the realm of the Arthurian Legends, but The Red Dragon of Wales comes from William Elliot Griffis and is part of a larger collection of fairy tales. Subscribe to Aroph:
