    Summation 014 - Blind Shemmy

    In this episode, people gamble their sanity and their body parts in Jack Dann's "Blind Shemmy." The dog wanted to be in on the recording, so the barks and scratching sounds aren't coming from me. Sources: https://jackdann.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dann

    Summation 013 - Golden Gate

    In R.A. Lafferty's story, "Golden Gate," the main character revels each night in a bar more magical than the Moulin Rouge and Cheers put together, all the while plotting a murder.

    Summation 012 - The Sidon in the Mirror

    The oppressive heat of the surface of a frozen story simmers under the surface of Connie Willis' "The Sidon in the Mirror."

    Summation 010 - Multiples

    In this episode, we examine Robert Silverberg's story "Multiples" an allegory for the LGBTQ movement that I'm not sure quite works. This episode is the first one I've published that is late. It won't be the last. Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Silverberg http://www.robert-silverberg.com/

    Summation 009 - Full Chicken Richness

    In this episode, we learn how enigmatic the ingredients label on a can of soup really can be in Avram Davidson's "Full Chicken Richness." I had to read some transliterated Russian dialogue, so full apologies to everyone who speaks Russian. Next time: Robert Silverberg's "Multiples."
