Anthony M. Caro’s short story “Loyal Gorzo” presents a transgressive twist on a classic horror character archetype and debuts as an audio dramatization on The HORRORific Podcast.
An obedient, brutish assistant serves a depraved 1950s mad scientist conducting horrible experiments in his laboratory. Will the assistant’s unwavering loyalty reach its endpoint during a crisis of conscience?
Such is the tale of “Loyal Gorzo,” a prototypical B-movie crony who struggles with past childhood trauma while trying to justify his participation in cruel experiments. And what lurks under the laboratory’s trap door?
Experience a black-and-white horror film of yesteryear through the experiences of a marginalized stock character.
