Loup-garou

 Thought I would record at least one spooky story for Halloween. If I can think of an original idea, I will add that later. For now, here is my reading of R B Russell's short story "Loup-garou" about a strange French horror film. Unlike most of the things I record, this is quite subtle and it is not wholly obvious what is happening. In some respects this reflects the philosophical ideas of Jean Baudrillard around hyper-reality, where fiction and fact bleed into one another and become increasingly hard to distinguish. Many, he argued, come to prefer the cinematic fantasy to the mundane reality - which has a raft of dystopian horrors all of its own.
