The Girl Had Guts | Theodore Sturgeon | Audio Drama | BBC Radio Drama | Old Time Radio

Dive into the captivating world of classic science fiction with "The Girl Had Guts," a chilling audio drama by the legendary Theodore Sturgeon. This vintage radio play, presented as Episode 18 in a longer series, transports listeners on a harrowing journey with an astronaut returning from the colonial planet Mulligan's Two. What he discovers at the ecological survey station – a scene of devastation and inexplicable horror – sets the stage for a biological mystery far more terrifying than any alien invasion.

The narrative meticulously unfolds the grim events that befell the survey team, revealing a terrifying alien mechanism. Humans, when gripped by "panic terror," violently eject their internal organs, only to regenerate new ones, driven by an insatiable hunger. This insidious alien symbiote, transmitted through intimate contact, blurs the lines between fear, survival, and identity. As the protagonist pieces together the horrifying puzzle, the true nature of the infection and its profound impact on human trust and relationships comes to light.

Culminating in a gut-wrenching personal discovery, "The Girl Had Guts" is a masterclass in suspense. It offers a unique blend of body horror, psychological tension, and classic science fiction, probing themes of resilience, adaptation, and the unfathomable horrors lurking in the cosmos. Experience this gripping story that challenges perceptions of humanity and the unknown. Tune in for a dramatic reading that will stay with you long after the final word.
