I Perform "The Christmas Abomination" by Heather Shaw & Tim Pratt

Way back in 2010, I got picked to narrate the holiday story "The Christmas Mummy" by Tim Pratt and Heather Shaw.  It was one of the first projects I got tapped to perform by myself, and despite my then-inferior sound quality, it became a perennial favorite of discerning listeners everywhere.*  Also, the story was pretty great.


Well, here we are a seven year later, with every cell in my body now different than it was, and I got asked to voice the sequel, "The Christmas Abomination from Beyond the Back of the Stars."  Short title, but sweet. 

It picks up a couple of years after the first story, and brings back all the characters** for an amusing island get-together over the holidays.  Everyone's involved in a ritual to either summon or placate an ancient evil from a dark place between worlds, including the delightful-to-perform Doctor Moriarty.**

I was happy to come back to do this story, and I can only hope that this one becomes somebody's tradition like the first one.  Maybe Heather and Tim will collaborate on another of these someday.  Stranger things have happened.

You can find it at THIS LINK.

*It's the story I get the most compliments on, which leads me to think it's the one the most people have heard my narration of.

**I had to go back and make note of how I voiced each of these characters, then attempt to replicate them a year or two down the road.

***I really ought to upload my attempt(s) to pronounce "Peshtirimobdybelig."  It should entertain somebody other than me.
