February Thaw

I rip back the comforter and there, on his left arm, I see it. His skin. His human skin is melting. It’s literally dripping, puddling, soaking the sheets. Beneath the liquefying skin is a horror I’d never imagined. It’s clear, like freshly-made ice cubes, and I can see the ghosts of his muscles twitching, his veins pulsing and the blood inside them quickening. A patch of skin near his elbow shrinks away like an accelerated film of thawing lake ice. “February Thaw" by Kristi Petersen Schoonover was published in Horror Library, Volume 7: https://amzn.to/3Nu7nMT Listen on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Mo1aRa Google, Apple, Spotify, and more: https://www.bloodgutsandstory.com/don-t-fall-asleep-podcast Narrator - Spencer Dillehay: https://www.spencerdillehay.com/ More from Author Kristi Petersen Schoonover: Website: www.kristipetersenschoonover.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kpschoonover/ Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/3xM74Gy 34 Orchard Literary Magazine: www.34orchard.com The Shadows Behind: http://bit.ly/shadowsbehind Praise for Horror Library: "Excellent stories of the highest caliber." --Dread Central "Uniformly well-crafted and original." --Rue Morgue Magazine "Impactful tales that throw the rules of both reality and genre fiction out the window." --Fearnet (Chiller TV) Blood Bound Books - Summer Sale Artist for Don't Fall Asleep logo Andrej Bartulovic "Maggot Meister": https://www.facebook.com/AllThingsRot... #scarystories #mythology #dontfallasleep #darkfiction #shortstories #creepystories #audiobooks #scaryaudiobooks #horror #readhorror #listentohorror As Amazon affiliates, we may earn from qualifying purchases --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blood-bound-books2/support
