It's another Max Wolf discovery from the Heidelberg Observatory way, way back in November 1918 and named after the smaller part of the Hungarian city of Budapest.

Do we have something to live up to there? Well, I'm sure the stories will make the grade, so keep on listening.

The first of them, and there are three in total today, is another story from the mind of David Horne, who writes speculative fiction from the edge of the American Midwest, where the skies are wide and the stories are stranger than they should be.

His work explores the boundary between memory and myth, often through a lens of ecological or cultural haunting.

He recently published Signals from the Edge, an anthology of original short stories that blend science fiction, folklore and quiet horror, as well as the satirical Beach Blanket Shark Attack, a loving spoof of 1960s creature features.

When he's not writing, David works in cyber security and plays guitar, mandolin and banjo with marginal competence and great enthusiasm, sometimes simultaneously to mixed results.
