Donate to our October 2024 OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS campaign at https://weirddarkness.com/overcoming. Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: Written in 1942, “Mimic” eventually inspired the 1997 horror film of the same name. The short story was written by Martin Pearson, though you may also know him as Donald A. Wollheim or Darrel G. Raynor, as he used many pseudonyms when writing. The story is a simple premise, talking of how some insects disguise themselves as other insects, or some animals disguise themselves as other animals, in order to not be eaten by the creatures above them in the food chain. At the top of the food chain is man – do we have mimics disguised as us – in plain sight?SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Mimic” by Martin Pearson: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2me9rc2nWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
