EPISODE 45: “Two Dwarves and Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs” by Eric Cline




Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine's Fiction Podcast show

Summary: May second is this year’s date for the Mystery Writers of America’s annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards banquet. This month’s podcast is a tip of the hat to Poe, and to the MWA. In “Two Dwarves and Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs” author Eric Cline has reworked a classic Poe story from the point of view of one of its central characters. The tale appeared in EQMM’s June 2011 issue, in the Department of First Stories. Since that fine debut, Eric Cline has sold several more of his imaginative tales. He reads his story for this episode in our podcast series with dramatic flair. http://www.cruelcline.blogspot.com/
