  • 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.

  • The Other Stories Presents: Invincible flesh, broken heart The Bulletproof series was never meant to be, but the audience response and fan reaction kept Joanne Askew writing more adventures, putting Audrey into more scenarios. What started with the author wanting to bring the circus ring to space, turned into a thought experiment, twisted tales of how a girl could take anything thrown at her. What could the girl who couldn't die, do next? For more check out, www.TheOtherStories.Net Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s all going well until two dognappers enter the picture and Nathan has to go back to his family home to find his lost mum and her army of dogs. Sweet like a Pixar movie but riotous and absurd.
