There's a new special short series podcast dropping today - August 1st - at
"Supernatural Fairy Tales" - and it's a Steampunk retelling of a Grimm's fairy tale - by me!
Dorlana Vann was kind enough to invite me to write a short story for her site and it's turned into an exciting mini-production, being presented in five weekly parts during the month of August in both text and as a podcast.
The title of the story is:
"Cages: A Steampunk Retelling of Grimm's Jorinde & Joringel in V Parts with Epilogue"
(gotta love those old-fashioned lengthy titles!)
and has a definite Neo-Victorian feel.
You can go listen (and/or read)
HERE. In case you're not familiar with the fairy tale you can read it
HERE (and thank you to Heidi at
SurLaLune for making this a readily available online reference for me to check when I didn't have my complete Grimm's handy!)
I also managed to secure permission from Steampunk band
Abney Park to use some of their music in the podcast, one song in particular being perfect thematically. Many thanks to them for their generosity in sharing their fabulous music. You can check out their website
HERE.
I'll also be making a PDF of the complete story available for free download and distribution at the end of the series, so watch out for that.
Lots of steampunk fairy tale goodness coming your way!
Enjoy.
Thanks again to Dorlana Vann for this opportunity. You can follow her on Twitter and get all the latest Supernatural Fairy Tale updates HERE.
