Our narrator this week is Heather Thomas. Heather slings jewelry by day but is an aspiring

voice actor by night. In her high school years she was

classically trained in opera but now mostly just sings karaoke. She is wildly

enthusiastic about all things horror and has notably curated an impressive collection of

earnest yet awful dog portraits. The stripper on Sudapod is her first ever

and first professional horror publication. She lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and her two evil cats, muffin and banana.

Heather's other narrations can be found on other fine podcasts such as The Creepy Podcast, The Wicked Library, The Lift, Tales to Terrify, and the Starship Selfa.
