The Girls from the Horror Movie by Gwendolyn Kiste
My rating: 3/5 cats
SPOOKTOBER DAY ELEVEN
welcome to my spooktober audio advent calendar, where, each day during the month of spooktober, i will be celebrating by listening to a free audio short from nightfire’s Come Join Us by the Fire series, and you can join ME by following the links. let’s all be scared together!
19 minutes
it’s weird how things synch up sometimes. i am in the middle of reading Cuckoo Song, and i chose this story for my daily audio short and while they are not similar in any other way, both feature sisters experiencing a peculiar…porousness in an encounter with a movie screen because sometimes the darndest things do happen.
more sad than scary (although triggering my personal TWINFEAR), this is definitely eerie, and if it turned out that this was only a prelude to a longer story, i would be down to read the rest of it. it’s intriguing, and i like my horror a little saddish, so bring it on!
