Glimpses Into An Overactive Mind - Podcast #1

Artist: David Niall Wilson
Album: The NecronomIcon
Track: 1
Length: 5:40 minutes (5.18 MB)
Format: Stereo 44kHz 128Kbps (CBR)

This is the first in a series of podcasts featured on my main website. They are, initially, readings of very short stories I've written. The first three are short stories, in fact...because I'm working on the audio quality and production. Still, I thought you might enjoy them here. This first one was inspired by the Smiley Face Emoticon, and is the first in my series the NecronomIcon - where I have (so far) written flash fiction inspired by 53 different Emoticons.
