PodCastle – Dragon Stories August 16th, 2009
Being a fiction podcast, PodCastle has run a few stories about dragons.
Fear of Dragons and Dragon Hunt both play on classic fantasy themes, but twist them in new directions. The stories are compelling dramas and feature sympathetic monsters. They are both rated for a general audience.
Illuminated Dragon is both a fable of political resistance but also an allegory on creativity. It is rated slightly mature for some violence.
And Run of the Fiery Horse is an intriguing tale of Eastern mythology and making a deal with a demon. It is rated slightly mature as well, for sensuality and implied violence.
