Detailed black and white etching of squid tentacles descending from the top of the image. One tentacle clutches a man who flails helplessly. Two other men seem to hang upside down from the mass of tentacles, one of them swinging an axe.

Will Falk survive the wriggling horror that descends from the heavens? Why did he murder his wife? When did he get married? How do you make a piano out of squids? Listen to find out!

The Chilling Horror That Grinds and Wiggles, episode 117 of This Gun in My Hand, was molded, frozen and dropped on you by Rob Northrup. 
This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

Show Notes:
1. The “slush pile” is publishing industry jargon for unsolicited manuscripts mostly from amateurs. I know the term because outside of self-publishing, that’s as far as my stories have gotten.

Credits:
The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
