A lot of folks really loved Once Upon a Childhood: Pirate Gold– a short story by Hyphenbird that we featured on an earlier Fascinating Ficiton podcast, so I thought it would be fun to share another of Hyphenbird’s short stories. Â The Corpulent Vampire is the tale of an undead aristocrat who, despite an all liquid diet, has trouble maintaining a svelte figure upon making his way to the good ol’ U.S. of A.
Hyphenbird’s original Hub featuring this story- The Corpulent Vampire – Coming to America, is a real hoot, so if you don’t have time to download or stream the podcast, I strongly recommend giving it a read! Heck, you should give it a read anyway, and have a look at Hyphenbird’s other fantastic Hubs. Â She has oodles of them!
Thanks for sharing the funny story, Hyphenbird! Â If any of you have a good short fiction Hub that you think would work well in the Fascinating Fiction podcast, don’t forget to email us about it. Â We can be reached at podcast (at) HubPages.com.
