Science Fiction and Horror writer, Joanne Askew, explores mental health, sexual identity and diversity through her fiction. The deepness and darkness of space is her second home. As an LGBTQIA+ activist, she aims to use her fiction to make the world a better place for the next generation to come out in. Her sci-fi horror novella, Sloth, is out now. www.jaskewauthor.com Alexandra is a bilingual voice actress and writer who lives in the Netherlands. She loves everything to do with stories, especially creative and playful horror. Her favourite voices to do are witches, goblins and crazy computers.

PERFORMING ARTS
There’s a factory, long since abandoned, sealed up and left to rot for over twenty years. And yet when young podcaster, May, arrives looking for answers about two missing urban explorers, she only finds more questions. Why can she hear laughter echoing through the empty halls? Why can she hear toy commercials playing on TV’s that nobody is watching? And why are there still toys here, as if waiting for somebody, anybody, to play with them? Mostly, though, why is there a brutally murdered body on the floor? Forced to venture deeper inside, she will have to uncover the mysteries of the toy factory, the magic and ancient horror at its core, and come face-to-face with the toymaker himself.
