I'm all about the tentacular horror @escapepod.org
Happy endweek, sapients and germs! This time we've got for you a fresh Escape Pod original, "Rupert Weard and the Case of the Adamant Annihilist" by Rob Gillham. And with tentacular horrors showing up in the first sentence, you know it's gotta be something.
Escape Pod 947: Rupert Weard and the Case of the Adamant Annihilist
Rupert Weard leapt into the drawing room, escaping a hallway dense with impossibly angled, tentacular horrors trying to sell him insurance. “Ye gods, it’s bedlam out there,” he said.
