So this is a well weird tale to tell.
I like walking and other forms of exercise, and while i’m doing them i like to listen to various podcasts. I usually have a good pile queued up on my phone to listen to, to make sure i never run out.
While i was out walking yesterday morning the next podcast on the list started to play and it was The Path of Pins, the Path of Needles, which, it just so happens, is a Little Red Riding Hood spin off.
How Lightspeed managed to justify shoehorning a Little Red Riding Hood spin off into a Sci-Fi magazine, and then also manage to shoehorn it onto my phone to play at exactly the same time i’m having a Little Red Riding Hood reading binge, i have absolutely no idea. But it’s all pretty uncanny when you think about it: like there’s more to these fairy tales than we at first may think.
Best of all is that you can read it for free at Lightspeed magazine, or listen to the podcast like i did.
And why not sign up to Lightspeed Magazine Story Podcast while you’re here, or there, and make sure you never miss another great story?
