The horseshoe, made from a strange, unknown metal was said to bring either good luck or terrible misfortune to the owner, and ended in total tragedy for the man who made it. What is this strange object? Is it really cursed? And how is it changing after one hundred and fifty years?Content Warning: mysterious metals, obsession, addiction, animal cruelty and abuse, domestic violence, assault, slander, curses, misfortune, aliens, living metalsHost: Chris EstesWriter: Chris EstesSenior Investigator: Mark MercierSound Design: Chris EstesSpeculative Fiction Writing Made Simple: Write, Edit, and Publish Your Debut NovelMost writing podcasts just inspire.
