Prelude To A Scream - Episode 08

Episode 08 of Prelude To A Scream features "Relic" written by Michael Kelly, Mark Leslie and Carol Weekes. "Relic" was originally published in a limited edition chapbook in 2007 and sold exclusively at Bakka-Phoenix bookstore in Toronto, ON.

"Relic: How to Get Ahead in Retail" takes place at BP books, Canada's oldest science fiction bookstore and involves the discovery of an ancient evil book lurking on the shelves. A tongue-in-cheek tale, this collaborative effort by Michael, Carol and I was written specifically for a joint book signing we were doing in the summer of 2007.

This episode is the longest episode of PTAS yet -- clocking in at about 36 minutes -- and here's why. You don't just get the story and then me talking about collaborating with other writers, but there's also a special excerpt from the Pod of Horror podcast -- specifically, the clip is Norm Rubenstein's review of the highly anticipated collaborative novel Ouroboros by Michael Kelly and Carol Weekes.
