Mother Pearl and the Nuclear Disaster (Sci-Fi Horror) - Story #16

  • Summary

  • A love letter to Gojira, a post-Cold War parable, a tale of confinement, escape, and approaching catastrophe. Mother Pearl and the Nuclear Disaster is all of these things and more. It is the story of a child born into nuclear winter, a community obsessed with a giant pearl, a president with a woefully short memory, and a world entirely unprepared for the end. "Gather, my neighbours, and rejoice; fear not the night that lasts the day, for Mother Pearl shall be our guiding light, our torch in darkest need!"

    CW: reference to violence and birth defects from radiation

    Stories from the Hearth is an experimental storytelling podcast, a free artistic space in the style of a painter's studio or writer's diary. It is a place for you to lose yourself in truly original short stories and their immersive soundscapes, written, narrated, and produced by Scottish poet Cal Bannerman.

    Stories from the Hearth will be back later this year, whilst Cal takes some time to prepare the next batch of stories. In the meantime, you can support the podcast by spreading the word and joining the community on Patreon:
