The Fear returns. In the first of 5 winning entries for Rusty Fears 5, Rusty Quill presents; "Casting Line" written by Sarina H, directed by Maddy Searle and performed by Karim Kronfli.
Whooooooooooo this is me! I am the author of this story that was one of the winners of Rusty Fears 5, just released in audio on The Magnus Archives feed!
As well as this episode read by the amazing Karim Kronfli, this story is also available to read on my newly launched website. So newly launched, I literally put it up about 3 hours before I got the first email from Rusty Quill. It was an exciting evening for me.

My website includes several other original short stories, one of which being my Honourably Mentioned entry for Rusty Fears 4. On top of prose (and occasionally poetry), I also write and develop solvable mysteries and printable puzzle games, which are available for free download. So, check those out if you’re up for a challenge ;)
My twitter, meanwhile, is also brand new.
Horror fiction has been an incredibly fun genre to write and I’m glad Rusty Quill gave me a chance to play with it with their prompts. I owe thanks to many friends for helping me workshop this, including @veryobscureblue.
Stay spooky, fellas. Super keen to hear the rest of the winners!
