Feature: A Last Kiss for Lazarus Winters (A Saint Darwin’s Spiritual) by D.K.Thompson
Drabble: The Forecast Calls for Death by Monsieur Moustache
Genre: Drabblecast Fantasy Horror
Monday, January 18th, 2016

I was born again on New Year’s Eve, full of broken promises, and slick and sticky with two kinds of blood. One of them was a ghost’s. That didn’t surprise me, though. I’ve seen my share of ghost blood.
I’d spent most of my life working with spirits and principalities — tracking ghosts, and making demands of them. That’s what people hired me for. But I wasn’t one of Darwin’s spiritualists, though I’d read his Origin of the Spirits and wore the goggles he’d fashioned. No, the spiritualists aided the spirits, providing a bridge between the living and the dead to help care for them. Me? I took all of Charlie Darwin’s studies and tools, and crossed those bridges to make certain demands of ghosts. I was a spiritual extortionist.

I love St Darwin's. It's an amazing world where pretty much anything can, and does happen. I for one am waiting for the big eBook compendium of St D stories... No Pressure, Mr T.
I loved the build up of this piece, and the fight between ghosts, humans who can vanish at will and humans who can't was beautifully done.
Where can I get one of those blindfolds, BTW?

Fantastic story, well read!
Not that it matters terribly, but I've always heard the biblical names attempted in the middle as Shadrach (SHAD-rack), Meshach (MEE-shack), and Abednego (uh-bed-NEE-go).

I loved this story, and the narration was excellent. It really added to the piece.
Something about this story bugged me. I couldn't figure out what. Then it hit me: this is a sequel to St. Darwin's Spirituals, which ran as a special Halloween episode of Escape Pod (episode 264, Oct 2010). So, if anyone wants to hear another story in this setting, here it is. I really enjoyed this one as well.
