Last night,
Gary A. Braunbeck won a Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction for his short story "We Now Pause for Station Identification."
The following are segments of a video I took of Gary reading his story at the 2004 Stoker convention in NYC.
Part One Part Two Part Three The dead have come back to life and the world as we know it has come to an end. A lone talk-radio DJ is trapped in his broadcast booth, low on food and water, and dangling at the end of his sanity. All he has left is the sound of his own voice and the fading hope that there's actually someone still alive out there to hear him ....
Warning: if you're disturbed by f-bombs or zombie imagery, don't watch.
I also put up
an MP3 of the entire reading; it's 26:33 in length, and the file is 9.1MB.
If you enjoy the audio/video, please consider
ordering a copy of the chapbook if you have not done so already -- big thanks go out to those who've already got their copies.
