Text reading: The Peculiarities of Hunger. Written by Woody Dismukes, edited by Isabella Kestermann, narrated by Sam Cavalcanti, and produced by Grayson Norman. The full audio story is on the website: https://www.khoreomag.com/fiction/the-peculiarities-of-hunger/

Text reading a quote from the short story The Body is a Cage Opened Only By Fire: "How could my mother explain to them that to free the soul the body must be burned, even in pieces? That if one is haunted, like my grandmother and mother were, she must carve away The Darkness, even if that includes carving away her own flesh?"

Text reading a quote from the short story Skin and Hide: "Animals, tens of thousands of them, lifted their heads like they’d been called, a divine summons, it drove them mad in an instant, they threw themselves to the ground, writhing as they tried to shed themselves of the skins that itched them. And shed they did. Within hours, they’d cocooned up, only to emerge the next day as part-human, part-animal freaks."

Text reading a quote from the short story Her Right Arm: "He wakes up with the arm nestling next to his body like a cat. He’s surprised the arm retains a certain warmth; he’s no student of the medical sciences, but he’d have expected a severed limb to be cold, no matter how preternaturally alive. The discrepancy pleases him; after all, he’s always been proud of his capacity to be happy about being proven wrong."

Text reading a quote from the short story The North: "Here’s what we know about the Northerners. They came in tall black ships that moved against the wind. They were pale and furless and spoke a language that sounded like breaking glass. They came when our cities were at their mightiest and plundered them and razed them to the ground."

Text reading a quote from the short story The Trick to Taking Over the World: "You’re not a bona fide prophet yet, but somewhere, in the back of their mind, somehow . . . there’s that little tingle."
