Rish's Voice On "Elsie At 30,000 Feet" By Tim Pratt

Rish here.  Marshal Latham was kind enough to send me a story the other day, asking if I would narrate it for his Journey Into... podcast.

When I say "he was kind enough," I mean that "Elsie At 30,000 Feet" was such a good story that I felt truly honored that he picked me to narrate it.  It was an homage, of sorts, to "The Twilight Zone," and the kind of story I would write, if I were just a bit more talented than I am.

It tells of a sort of everyman, Gustavo, who gets on an airplane, and a strange woman, Elsie, sits down in the seat next to him.  She seems simply eccentric at first, but later, reveals herself to be something more sinister.

Tim Pratt wrote my favorite episode of EscapePod ever.  And the two Christmas stories I got to perform over on PodCastle (by him) are my two favorites there.  And now, well, here's a story I loved so much I wish I had it to perform for my own show(s).  But I got to voice the main character, and that's quite enough.  And Christmas came early (along with the end of the world) because Marshal also had me come on as a guest on this episode, and we talk about the story and "The Twilight Zone" (specifically, the 2019 pseudo-retelling of "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet").
