SUSAN SPANO NARRATES "THE HOSTESS"

A gripping novelette by Cat Oyster. In a near-future gig economy, her body is not her own. While asleep, strangers rent Michaela’s body to experience life through her senses—virtual tourists who step into her skin from across the world.

 

It’s seamless. Harmless. Voluntary. Until it’s not. When Michaela wakes with unexplained bruises, she and her coworker at the body-hosting agency start asking questions they were never meant to ask.

 

Who’s really using their bodies? And what are they doing while the hosts sleep? When your body is just another platform, what happens when you lose control of it?

 

A taut, thought-provoking novelette for fans of Black Mirror, Klara and the Sun, and Severance.
