Sick Fiction is packed with as much good stuff like Lovecraftian horrors, world-ending nightmares, soul-crushing dystopias, barbarians, dead things, tentacle monsters, human hands, and heartwarming Christmas stories as a teddy bear stuffed full of fingernails. Join us as we ride the titan robot pig demon into the apocalypse once a month with original fiction you can never forget. Never. It is forbidden. This is the home of Pastoress, Starbat, and whatever that shadow is with the three spires on its head that keeps showing up.

episode 44: "The Cow in Reverse" by Bret Norwood
Monster Porn presents science fiction (with a dash of horror) in “The Cow in Reverse” by Bret Norwood. A dropship lands on Allworld containing ten dozen listless, serene guests from the star system called “The Rose.” As Allworld displays its hospitality for the visitors, and through the search for signs of an alien intelligence among them capable of having built and piloted the ship, it becomes clear that the Roseans did not send themselves. But then…who did, and why?
This is a science fiction story in the spirit of Ursula Le Guin about the unintelligibility of alien cultures, the difference between sentience and sapience, animal cruelty, and factory farming.
