Here it is, the first installment of Radio Guignol: http://soundcloud.com/radio-guignol/man-killing
Man Killing by Radio Guignol
It took us a little longer than expected to wrap this one up and post it, but now that the skin is broken, you can count on the blood to flow more regularly from here on in. Our aim is to present one episode every month or so, a mix of classic Grand Guignol plays by the original authors like de Lorde and Méténier, and new works of the weird, sinister and macabre by contemporary authors.
- Man Killing Script.
- Men, Women and Chainsaws.
- Life of Slice; Grand Guignol as Melo-Naturalistic Drama.
Our first episode: Man Killing.
It's a charming little slasher play set in idyllic suburbia. If you can't think of anything more frightening than masculine-normativity, then this should fill you with all the anxiety of a real world. So hit the link, sit back, get ready to have your lawn mowed, your car washed, and your garbage taken out. Taken right out.
Man Killing was written and read by Ric Royer, music by G Lucas Crane.
Recorded by Bevin Kelley at Steinart Studios.

Now for some extras.
Here are three pieces of writing for those of you with an appetite for things textual and intellectual. First you will find the text of the story Man Killing, featured in this episode. Plus, a section of Carol J. Clover's Men, Women and Chainsaws, an appropriate selection for today's story. You will also find a short essay about Grand Guignol. I also suggest a few links for further reading in the sidebar.- Man Killing Script.
- Men, Women and Chainsaws.
- Life of Slice; Grand Guignol as Melo-Naturalistic Drama.
And some music? We recommend that you wash this story down with any one of the many fine horror film soundtrack selections provided for you free via upload by our friends at Cosmic Hearse: http://cosmichearse.blogspot.com/search/label/Soundtrack
Also, for more music by G Lucas Crane, who composed the soundscape for this months episode, go nonhorse.

If you could figure out a way to post this to an RSS feed (unless you already have, and I've missed it,) Then I could, and would listen to the cast at work where I listen to all of my other podcasts.
