Ominous Thrill has released Placentophagy, a new instalment of its Her Horrorween audio-fiction season. Written by H.V. Patterson, the October 21 episode follows Elizabeth, whose placental encapsulation business is interrupted by a pregnant visitor demanding help with a maternal curse. Robyn Buck performs the story,

with Gracie Lacey playing the visitor. Jeff Schmidt creates, produces, directs and designs the sound. The episode is part of a fifteen-story October programme built around women-authored horror, with entries spanning supernatural fiction, dark comedy, folk horror and bodily autonomy. This instalment carries explicit

warnings for reproductive loss, amputation, cannibalism and legal denial of medical care. Those details make it a choice for adult horror listeners comfortable with distressing physical material, rather than a general seasonal ghost story. The creator’s page provides the episode and links to podcast services. The wider

season continues October 23 with Kyla Tucaya Garcia’s Stella in the Belly of the Beast, followed by three more scheduled stories before Halloween. Official source. Image credit: Jeff Schmidt / Ominous Thrill; episode cover incorporates licensed iStockPhoto assets.
