My story “Venom in the Cloud Forest” (first published in the anthology Myriad Lands Vol. 2) is this week’s featured story over at After Dinner Conversation. They’ve included a video of philosopher Nalini Jacob-Roussety discussing a core concept of my story: the risk of bringing to light a hidden, uncomfortable truth. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’m simultaneously pleased and dismayed that “Venom in the Cloud Forest” continues to be relevant.
If you’re interested in more info. about this story, I discussed it with Michelle Murray on her podcast Pages on the Tongue. If you want more of my rainforest settings, check out “Ree in the Domain of Scavengers” (Flame Tree Publishing’s Sun Rising Short Stories) and “Discount Night at the Haunted Eco Lodge” (Triangulation: Habitats and the podcast Scary Stories Whispered in the Rain).
