  • Grandpa's Boy by Tim Law

    Grandpa's Boy by Tim Law
    2024/11/13
    A sweet little boy takes after his grandfather. How is anything but sweet.

    Tim Law has loved to write from a very young age, but has only recently discovered the joy of being published. He is happily married to a wonderful girl, a proud father of three humans, and a reluctant father figure to four cats. He writes fantasy, science fiction, general, detective, humour, and a lot of weird stuff that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. He encourages everyone to give writing a go. Some of his stranger stories can be found here on the Kaidankai, but if you want to read more try his blog.

    Ep. 285: The Ironworker by Denise Longrie
    2024/10/23
    Today's story is a perfect example of how ghost stories reveal our humanity. There's obsession and revenge, love and generosity, fear and forgiveness.

    Denise Longrie’s work has appeared in Spank the Carp, Bright Flash Literary Review, and Danse Macabre. She has self-published a nonfiction guide to pre-1900 speculative fiction. She is (…still) working by the flickering light of a Jacob’s ladder on a sequel treating twentieth-century pulp science fiction. In a previous life, she worked as a pharmacy technician.

  • The Monster in the Dungeon by L. N. Hunter

    The Monster in the Dungeon by L. N. Hunter
    2024/10/09
    A homemade Ouija board has more than a few quixotic messages for a group of teens.

    L.N. Hunter’s comic fantasy novel, ‘The Feather and the Lamp,’ sits alongside works in anthologies such as ‘The Monsters Next Door’ and ‘Best of British Science Fiction 2022’ as well as Short Édition’s ‘Short Circuit’ and the ‘Horrifying Tales of Wonder’ podcast. There have also been papers in the IEEE ‘Transactions on Neural Networks,’ which are probably somewhat less relevant and definitely less fun. When not writing, L.N. unwinds in a disorganised home in rural Cambridgeshire, UK, along with two cats and a soulmate.

    The Screechers by Laila Amado
    2024/10/02
    Amado guides us through a woman’s inner turmoil, offers glimpses into a troubled marriage, and coils us into a reality in which we have no control.

    Laila Amado is a migrating writer of speculative and literary fiction. She writes in her second language. She has recently exchanged her fourth country of residence for the fifth, and can now be found staring at the North Sea, instead of the Mediterranean. The sea, occasionally, stares back. Her speculative stories have appeared in Daily Science Fiction, Tales to Terrify, Three Lobed Burning Eye, as well as in various anthologies.
