PseudoPod 1004: Madame Painte: For Sale
“This?” the man behind the counter says. “Why, this is Madame Painte.” The figure is short, a foot and a half tall, and squat, about the same dimensions across, composed of what might be porcelain.

At the moment, I’m regrettably not reading Edgar Allan Poe whilst having cappuccinos and croissants in a dimly-lit quaint café on a cobblestone street in Prague during a snowstorm, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well.”

We go to Grandmère’s house to ride the unicorns. We only go once or twice a year, and it’s never enough. Riding the unicorns is the most fun a person could have, and I don’t know why we can’t do it…

I paused, out of breath. The Void had taken all my frustrated screaming and absorbed it.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. "You must have heard all this before, countless times."
'only you,' said the Void, 'scream your frustration like you do'
I took a deep breath to resume, then smiled.
"Thanks."

There were once dozens of newsstand magazines devoted to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and "weird tales." Those dozens eventually shrank to three: Analog, Asimov's, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.

Where would you rather be?
1. haunted mansion on the moor
2. castle ruins on the shore
3. night flight to Zanzibar
4. traveling through the stars

Does anyone remember the horror movie Rubber?
You know the one about a car tire rolling around exploding people?
So, were we okay in the early 2000s?
Why did we all watch that?
What a weird time for horror... a tire. Godsakes! Stupid!
Unrelated, I tripped over an old tire today and face-planted.

We have so many stories that are awesome this year!
Be patient with us. Y'all made our job impossibly hard.

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find
