    The False Prophet by David Drake is a short story by David Drake set in the waning days of the Roman Empire. It features his recurring classical Roman-era characters, Vettius (a ruthless soldier) and Dama (a witty merchant). The narrative follows the duo as they encounter a charlatan who is not quite what his loyal followers believe him to be, blending adventure and mystery with supernatural or science-fictional elements. The story is a centerpiece of Drake's Vettius and Dama mini-trilogy, which also includes Black Iron and The Shortest Way.

    Dragon the Book is a short story by David Drake. A wizard pursues a book held in the arms of a rival, long dead. But everything has its price; greed for power acts as a blindfold to the actual cost.

    The Cloak is a short story by Robert Bloch, first published in the magazine Unknown in May 1939. The narrative follows a man named Henderson who purchases an authentic-looking cloak for a Halloween party, only to find that it transforms him into a vampire-like creature with an irresistible urge to drink blood.

    Winged Death | H.P. Lovecraft | Podcast
    May 1 2026
    "Winged Death" is a 1934 horror short story by H.P. Lovecraft (he was a ghost writer for Hazel Heald, who received partial credit for this story), featuring a scientist's revenge plot using poisonous African flies, which ties into the Cthulhu Mythos through ancient ruins and malevolent entities, blending colonial-era horror with supernatural elements. The story begins with the discovery of a corpse in a South African hotel, with clues pointing to a journal detailing a doctor's plan to kill a rival using disease-carrying insects, leading to a supernatural climax where the doctor becomes a victim of his own creation.
